Title: | A view of the development of intestinal suture. Part I. From legend to practice. | Austin Authors: | Hardy, Kenneth John | Affiliation: | University of Melbourne, Department of Surgery, Austin Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia | Issue Date: | 1-Apr-1990 | Publication information: | Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery; 60(4): 299-304 | Abstract: | This article outlines the early steps of developing intestinal suturing. Intestinal suturing was discussed but not performed by Celsus, Galen and Susrutas. The legendary story of the suture of the Four Masters began in the 13th century. The first recorded successful intestinal suture was by Saliceto in 1275. Very little progress occurred until the 19th century but Duverger, in 1757, reported success with the Four Masters' suture. The Glover's continuous suture of the artisans was applied to the intestine. Modifications followed and those of Petit, Bell and Larrey are mentioned. | Gov't Doc #: | 2181994 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/11316 | Journal: | Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2181994 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | History, 16th Century History, 17th Century History, 18th Century History, Ancient History, Medieval Humans Intestines.surgery Suture Techniques.history |
