“…4). Sabuncuoğlu used this tube method for other diseases, specifically in abdominal and otorhinolaryngological procedures (18). Despite not being fully recognized in his own era, the writings and innovations of Şerefeddin Sabuncuoğlu, including the first color-illustrated medical treatise in Turkish, place him among the pioneer surgeons of the 15 th century.…”

Sharaf al-Dīn (Şerefeddin) Sabuncuoğlu (1385-c.1468) was an innovative surgeon and a prominent illustrator who lived in the Ottoman Empire during the 15 th century. His medical treatise, Kitāb al-Jarrāhiyyāt al-Khaniyya (Kitâbü'l-Cerrâhiyyetü'l-Hâniyye [Book of Imperial Surgery]; 1465), is the first illustrated surgical textbook written in Turkish. His book also provides comprehensive information about ancient Greek and Asian knowledge of medicine, including topics on gynecology, neurology, obstetrics, ophthalmology, orthopedics, pediatrics, urology, and vascular surgery, as well as Sabuncuoğlu's own contributions to the field of surgery. Despite not being well recognized in his era, his methods were revolutionary for his time, and many remain valid even today. This review seeks to highlight Şerefeddin Sabuncuoğlu's medical treatise from a historical perspective and to shed light on its influence on modern surgery.

“…in seinem Buch über Chirurgie (Cerrahiyyetu'l Haniyye) neben den herkömmlichen Methoden, wie Medikamente, über ein "interventionelles" Verfahren, mit welchem Patienten mit Ischiasbeschwerden behandelt werden konnten. Dabei handelte es sich um Kauterisierung durch Hydrochlorsäure [8]. Es war ein mehrstufiges Prozedere, das zuerst aus einer lokalen einstündigen Hydrochlorsäurenexposition mithilfe eines ringförmigen metallenen Instruments bestand.…”

In ancient times as well as in the Middle Ages treatment options for discogenic nerve compression syndrome were limited and usually not very specific because of low anatomical and pathophysiological knowledge. The stretch rack (scamnum Hippocratis) was particularly prominent but was widely used as a therapeutic device for very different spinal disorders. Since the beginning of the nineteenth century anatomical knowledge increased and the advances in the fields of asepsis, anesthesia and surgery resulted in an increase in surgical interventions on the spine. In 1908 the first successful lumbar discectomy was initiated and performed by the German neurologist Heinrich O. Oppenheim (1858-1919) and the surgeon Fedor Krause (1857-1937); however, neither recognized the true pathological condition of discogenic nerve compression syndrome. With the landmark report in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1934, the two American surgeons William Jason Mixter (1880-1958) and Joseph Seaton Barr (1901-1963) finally clarified the pathomechanism of lumbar disc herniation and furthermore, propagated discectomy as the standard therapy. Since then interventions on intervertebral discs rapidly increased and the treatment options for lumbar disc surgery quickly evolved. The surgical procedures changed over time and were continuously being refined. In the late 1960s the surgical microscope was introduced for spinal surgery by the work of the famous neurosurgeon Mahmut Gazi Yasargil and his colleague Wolfhard Caspar and so-called microdiscectomy was introduced. Besides open discectomy other interventional techniques were developed to overcome the side effects of surgical procedures. In 1964 the American orthopedic surgeon Lyman Smith (1912-1991) introduced chemonucleolysis, a minimally invasive technique consisting only of a cannula and the proteolytic enzyme chymopapain, which is injected into the disc compartment to dissolve the displaced disc material. In 1975 the Japanese orthopedic surgeon Sadahisa Hijikata described percutaneous discectomy for the first time, which was a further minimally invasive surgical technique. Further variants of minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as percutaneous laser discectomy in 1986 and percutaneous endoscopic microdiscectomy in 1997, were also introduced; however, open discectomy, especially microdiscectomy remains the therapeutic gold standard for lumbar disc herniation.

“…One of the popular writings' of that age was entitled "Twelve Books" written by The Cerrahiyet'ül-Haniyye with his original classifications and illustrations of 134 surgical interventions, 156 surgical instruments, consists of three chapters: the first chapter on surgical cauterisations, the second chapter on surgical incisions and interventions and the third chapter on fractures and dislocations. This treatise was mistakenly considered to be a translation of al-Zahrawi's book, a careful analysis of these 2 books shows that there are 137 different observations and suggestions (2,5,6).…”
