Via Oh, La breaHere’s another picture of the gentleman from the previous images. Able Seaman Willie Vicarage. He was one of the first subjects to have reconstructive surgery using tube pedicles, using flaps of skin from his chest and forehead, swung and stitched into place and allowed to grow.
The reason for the use of this technique is the lack of antibiotics at the time— the tube remained attached, unlike traditional skin grafts as we know them today, and was stitched shut, dramatically reducing the rate of infection and allowing the original bloodflow to circulate uninterrupted.

Eye care in the 1800s: Rodent Cancer
In the 19th Century, the cancer now called basal cell carcinoma was known as rodent cancer. That’s because patients with advanced cases, like this woman treated in London in the mid-1800s, looked as if their flesh had been gnawed away by rats.
This photograph was published in 1867 in one of the first medical textbooks, “Rodent Cancer.” It was written by Dr. Charles Hewitt Moore (1821-1870).Credit: Dr. Stanley B. Burns
