EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, created by Robert Benard for Denis Diderot's Encyclopedia in 1779, offers a fascinating glimpse into the medical practices of the 18th century. The image depicts the renowned French surgeon, Mr. Foubert, performing a bladder stone removal operation. The surgeon, dressed in the attire of the time, holds a scalpel in his right hand, ready to make an external incision at the marked site on the perineum. A flexible cannula, likely used for insertion into the bladder, lies nearby. The procedure, known as Fouberts operation, was a significant advancement in urological surgery during the era. Instead of the traditional open approach, Foubert employed a less invasive method that utilized an external incision, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and reducing recovery time. The anus, located towards the bottom of the image, serves as a reminder of the proximity of the anal cavity to the bladder and urethra, emphasizing the complexity and delicacy of the procedure. This anatomical illustration, with its intricate details and precise execution, offers an invaluable insight into the surgical techniques and medical knowledge of the time. It also underscores the skill and expertise of Mr. Foubert, who revolutionized the field of urology with his innovative approach to bladder stone removal.
