De La Lithotricie Ou Broiement De La Pierre Dans La Vessie... explores the early history of lithotripsy, a groundbreaking surgical procedure for crushing bladder stones within the bladder. Written by Jean Civiale, a pioneer in the development of this technique, the book offers a detailed account of the instruments, methods, and clinical observations associated with the procedure.
This historical text provides valuable insights into the evolution of surgical practices and the challenges faced by early urologists. It documents the transition from open surgery to minimally invasive techniques, marking a significant advancement in the treatment of bladder stones. Civiale's work remains a crucial resource for understanding the origins of modern urology and the development of innovative surgical interventions.
