Bowel surgery
Bowel surgery, historical anatomical artwork. This 19th century textbook illustration shows different methods of joining sections of bowel following surgery. The upper four diagrams show methods of suturing the bowel, developed by Jobert (top row) and Lembert (second row). The lower four diagrams show a procedure developed by Denan that required no sutures and prevented the bowel from closing up. This illustration is taken from the 19th century French textbook The Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery by J. M. Bourgery and N. H. Jacob

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print showcases the intricate world of bowel surgery, offering a glimpse into the historical techniques employed by medical pioneers. Taken from the renowned French textbook "The Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery" by J. M. Bourgery and N. H. Jacob, this artwork provides invaluable insight into the surgical methods used during that era. The upper four diagrams depict two distinct approaches to suturing the bowel developed by Jobert and Lembert respectively, highlighting their contributions to surgical innovation in joining sections of the intestine after an operation. These meticulously detailed illustrations reveal how these skilled surgeons carefully stitched together delicate tissues with precision and expertise. In contrast, the lower four diagrams present a groundbreaking procedure devised by Denan that revolutionized bowel surgery at its core. This technique eliminated the need for sutures altogether, ensuring that the intestines remained open without closing up post-surgery. As we delve into this historical image, we witness not only a remarkable display of anatomical knowledge but also a testament to human ingenuity in overcoming medical challenges throughout history. The fusion of artistry and science within this illustration transports us back in time to an era where surgical advancements were being made against all odds. Science Photo Library brings forth yet another extraordinary piece from their vast collection - one that captures both our fascination with medical history and our appreciation for those who paved the way for modern medicine as we know it today.
