ABERNETHY, John (1764-1831). CASE OF FEMORAL ANEURISM, REACHING AS HIGH AS POUPART'S LIGAMENT, CURED BY TYING THE EXTERNAL ILIAC ARTERY In Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal, 1807, Vol. 3, pp. 46-51.
Edinburgh: Archibald Constable and Company, 1807. Hardcover Near Fine
Offered is a Near Fine entire Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal Vol. 3 in brown buckram binding with gilt lettering spine. Scattered foxing, soil edges. 8vo.
This is Abernethy's report of his third case of external iliac artery ligation for aneurysm. He summarizes the prior two cases, technically successful, but with death of the patients in the post operative period and gives a detailed history of this third case which was successfully treated. Interestingly Garrison-Morton 2928 reports on Abernethy's first case which was in 1796. The reference given is Abernethy's book "Surgical Observations on the constitution Origin and Treatment of Local Diseases" published in 1809. In the current paper Abernethy recounts that the first two cases were described in Third Part of his "Surgical and Physiological Essays" and the First Part of his "Surgical Observations" respectively. Hence, the current report is likely the first journal appearance of his work on external iliac artery ligation. Abernethy's Fascia--The fascia covering the external iliac artery bears his name.
