Abstract
Background: Antonio Scarpa (1752-1832) is generally remembered for his discoveries in the field of anatomy, but he also provided some important contributions to the history of surgery.
Methods: We analyzed main treatises written by Scarpa, highlighting how he contributed to the development of modern surgery.
Results: Scarpa made great innovations in three branches of surgery: abdominal surgery (hernia), orthopedics (clubfoot) and vascular surgery (aneurism). Furthermore, he contributed to the birth of modern ophthalmology.
期刊介绍:
Surgical Innovation (SRI) is a peer-reviewed bi-monthly journal focusing on minimally invasive surgical techniques, new instruments such as laparoscopes and endoscopes, and new technologies. SRI prepares surgeons to think and work in "the operating room of the future" through learning new techniques, understanding and adapting to new technologies, maintaining surgical competencies, and applying surgical outcomes data to their practices. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
