Description
Ernst Carl Friedrich Blasius was a 19th-century German surgeon. After several years of military medical service, he relocated to the University of Halle, where he rose to the rank of full professor. He made numerous contributions to surgery. In this atlas, he generously depicts and illustrates surgical instruments and discusses surgical technology and technique with a heavy emphasis on plastic and reconstructive surgery.
