EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Sup Turc 693 fol. 95 Surgical puncture of the abdominal cavity of the aspiration of peritoneal fluid with a canula on a patient suffering from dropsy, 1466" takes us back to the world of medieval medicine. Created by Charaf-ed-Din in 1466, this vellum artwork is part of a Persian Treatise on surgery called La Chirurgie Imperiale. The image showcases an intricate surgical procedure performed on an individual afflicted with dropsy, also known as hydropsy. The skilled doctor delicately inserts a canula into the patient's abdominal cavity to drain excess peritoneal fluid, aiming to alleviate their symptoms and improve their health. The manuscript itself offers valuable insights into medical practices during that era, highlighting the rich history and advancements made in Arabic and Middle Eastern medicine. The attention to detail in this miniature painting is remarkable, capturing not only the surgical technique but also showcasing cultural elements such as traditional turbans worn by both the doctor and patient. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this piece serves as a testament to our continuous quest for understanding and treating various illnesses throughout history. It allows us to appreciate how far we have come in terms of medical knowledge and techniques while reminding us of our shared human experience when it comes to matters of health and well-being.
