PANCOAST, Joseph (1805-1882). A Treatise on Operative Surgery. Philadelphia: Carey & Hart, 1844.
2o (312 x 254 mm). 6-page advertisements bound at front and 4-page advertisements bound at end. 80 lithographed plates. Original black cloth, gilt-lettered on front cover (rebacked, preserving original spine, slight wear along edges). Provenance: The New York Academy of Medicine (bookplate).
FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST SPECTACULARLY ILLUSTRATED AMERICAN SURGICAL TREATISES OF THE 19TH CENTURY, with 80 plates comprising 486 separate illustrations. Some of the plates were after paintings by Nicholas-Henri Jacob (1782-1871) and may have been reduced or adapted from the larger surgical images in the atlases of Bourgery and Jacob. The work includes one of the most important and extensive sections on plastic surgery published in America during the period. Professor of anatomy and surgery at Jefferson Medical College, Pancoast developed a number of new operations, including the first successful plastic operation for exstrophy of the bladder, the "plow and groove" suture for rhinoplasty, and the neurosurgical procedure of sectioning the second and third branches of the fifth pair of nerves as they emerge from the base of the brain. His Treatise also includes one of the earliest accounts of a free skin graft, used in this case in the reconstruction of an earlobe. Garrison-Morton 5598, 5746.2; Heirs of Hippocrates 1677; Rutkow, History of Surgery in the United States (1988) GS22; Waller 7083; Zeis 610, 1875.
