Second Reprint. - Antwerpen, Editior: de Vos-van Kleef, 1932, Folio, 8 pp., 1 Tafel mit 8 Abbildungen, orig. Broschur. "The structive surgery of the ear includes the most difficult part and at the same time the easiest part of this branch of general surgery. The most difficult problems arise in the struction of a complete absent ear and even the reconstruction of a part of the earridge or the auricle although much easier, can be accomplished as giving very hard problems now and then. 1 performed several times the totaly missing ear. The first time 1 constructed one and demonstrated the very good result in the numerously frequented medical association of Vienna at the second half of the year 1916, a pathetic enthusiasm was unbosomed by a loner applause and the next day 1 got a visit of the ordinary Professor in ear-nose-and throat illesses of the university of Vienna to bring his compliments explaining, that he did not consider possible the construction of a complete ear otherwise than in wax or other similar materials, but now that he had constated the possibility of a new construction by operations, he asked me to be so kind as to restaur for his clinic regularly the difficult cases. Soon afterwards Vienna was left by me, in consequence his wishes could not be accomplished. Afterwards by using my method of the " epithelial inlay " a new ear could be constructed very easily and without risk of necrosis. At the beginning a model in cartilage from the ribbow of the same patient was taken and before that cartilage was placed behind the meatus auditorium extemus under the skin, moulded to get the right and complicated form with a strong very sharp knife, hammer and chisel. This cartilage piece was than introduced behind the meatus under the skin part, which is not covered with hair, by a circular cut exactly following the border between the hair covered skin and callow skin and after 1 had undermined totaly this callow skinpart. . Preface, 1st.print 1926; second print 1932. Johannes Fredericus Samuel Esser (1877-1946) was a Dutch plastic surgeon who pioneered innovative methods of reconstructive surgery on soldiers wounded in the First World War. He is thought to have coined the term "stent" in 1917 to describe his use of a dental impression compound invented in 1856 by the English dentist Charles Stent (1807-1885) to create a form for facial reconstruction. The term "stent" was later extended to mean a device to expand constricted tubes of body tissue. See - ." Barend Haeseker: Dr, J.F.S. Esser and his Influence on the Development of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (1983).
