The history of plastic surgery : from the collection of Douglas M. Monasebian, M.D., D.M.D., F.A.C.S. : an exhibition held at the Grolier Club November 19, 2020 - February 13, 2021
Published to accompany the eponymous exhibition on display at the Grolier Club, this catalogue showcases rare books from a passionate collector and practicing surgeon. To many people, plastic surgery conjures up aesthetic and cosmetic surgery, but as the items in Douglas Monasebian's collection show, the specialty has been at the forefront of restoring the faces and bodies of those who were injured in wars or other traumatic events, affected by cancer or other illnesses, or afflicted with birth defects. The books featured range from the sixteenth through the twentieth centuries, providing a sense of how the specialty evolved and highlighting key events and groundbreaking developments. The catalogue is arranged by topic, with sections on the origins of plastic surgery; illness and disease; nasal reconstruction, cleft lip and palate; breast surgery; trauma, war, and wound healing; cosmetic surgery; and anesthesia, instrumentation, and nursing. With 52 illustrations. 00Exhibition:The Grolier Club, New York, USA (19.11.2020 - 13.02.2021).
