“…Ligation was described intermittently in the pre-modern world. Writing sometime between the fourth and seventh centuries AD, Byzantine surgeon Paul of Aegina described ligation for the management of aneurysms, varicose veins, and wartime arterial injuries [ 1 , 2 ]. His works would continue to influence Arabian medical texts throughout the Middle Ages.…”

Surgical technique and technology frequently coevolve. The brief history of blood vessel anastomosis is full of famous names. While the techniques pioneered by these surgeons have been well described, the technology that facilitated their advancements and their inventors deserve recognition. The mass production of laboratory microscopes in the mid-1800s allowed for an explosion of interest in tissue histology. This improved understanding of vascular physiology and thrombosis laid the groundwork for Carrel and Guthrie to report some of the first successful vascular anastomoses. In 1916, McLean discovered heparin. Twenty-four years later, Gordon Murray found that it could prevent thrombosis when performing end-to-end anastomosis. These discoveries paved the way for the first-in-human kidney transplantations. Otolaryngologists Nylen and Holmgren were the first to bring the laboratory microscope into the operating room, but Jacobson was the first to apply these techniques to microvascular anastomosis. His first successful attempt in 1960 and the subsequent development of microsurgical tools allowed for an explosion of interest in microsurgery, and several decades of innovation followed. Today, new advancements promise to make microvascular and vascular surgery faster, cheaper, and safer for patients. The future of surgery will always be inextricably tied to the creativity and vision of its innovators.

İnce ve sarmal yapılı lenfatik sistem, elemanlarının incelenmesindeki zorluklar nedeniyle uzun ve sürükleyici bir tarihçeye sahiptir. Mevcut bilgileri geliştirmek amacıyla lenfatik sistem tarihini derlediğimiz bu çalışma MÖ 5.yy’dan günümüze kadar uzanmaktadır. Yüzyıllarca Galen’in görüşlerinin doğrudan kabulü Vesalius ile son bulmuş ve 17.yy birçok yeni buluşa imza atılması nedeniyle altın çağ olarak kabul edilmiştir. 18.yy’da Ruysch lenf kapaklarının işlevini, 19.yy’da Mascagni lenfatik ağın ikonografisini yayınlamıştır. Comparini (1924-1999), karaciğer lenfatiklerinin illüstratif rekonstrüksiyonlarını gerçekleştirmiştir. Bu gelişmelerden sonra 2012 yılında farelerde yapılan bir çalışmada ilk kez glimfatik sistemi tanımlanmış ve 2017’de insanlarda varlığını kanıtlamıştır.
