EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving, titled "An operation on a vesicovaginal fistula" takes us back to the 19th century when medical advancements were being made in the field of gynecology. The plate is from Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery's renowned book "Traite Complet de l'Anatomie de l'Homme" which was published between 1866 and 1867. The image depicts a surgical procedure being performed on a female patient suffering from a vesicovaginal fistula, a distressing condition where an abnormal connection forms between the bladder and vagina. In this intricate scene, we witness skilled surgeons meticulously stitching up the affected area using various tools and equipment specifically designed for gynaecological procedures. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, showcasing not only the anatomical accuracy but also highlighting the importance of surgical precision during such delicate operations. It serves as both an educational resource for medical professionals and an artistic representation of historical medical practices. Nicolas Henri Jacob, who created this masterpiece under Bourgery's guidance, captures every aspect with finesse – from the focused expressions on each surgeon's face to their meticulous handling of sutures. This print stands as a testament to the dedication and expertise required in early gynecological surgeries. Preserved within the archives of Bibliotheque de la Faculte de Medecine in Paris, France, this engraving continues to inspire awe and admiration for those interested in
