Marginal yellowing of text leaves. The edges of the pages are prone to chipping if they are not turned carefully. This was printed during WWII so the paper was not of good quality. Ink stamp of the library of the American College of Surgeons on the front flyleaf (I will send a photo of the ink stamp on request). Very Good. First Edition. "While he was in Vienna in 1916, Esser described a method of using a skin graft on a mould in order to enlarge various spaces such as the conjunctival sac and the oral cavity. This method could also be used for grafting on irregular surfaces, e.g. the external ear and the hard or the soft palate. The principle of his method was that an impression of the surface to be grafted was made in 'dental mass'. Once the material had set, it was lined with the thinnest possible split-skin graft, with the cut surface outward. The mould covered with the skin graft was put into place, after which the skin was closed. Later on the mould was removed through another incision. Esser based his method on two principles which in his opinion were essential to adequate healing: equal pressure and total immobilization. This grafting method became known as 'epidermic inlay grafting' in English and as 'Epitheleinlage' in German. . . . Esser's publications attracted the attention of the Gillies group in Sidcup in Kent, England. This group played an active part in the treatment by plastic and reconstructive surgery of soldiers wounded in World War I. The 'epithelial inlay' of Esser was used on a large scale" (Klasen, History of Free Skin Grafting, pp. 105 and 107).

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Esser Inlay is a groundbreaking work by Johannes Esser, a pioneer in reconstructive surgery and an innovator in skin grafting techniques. This original and very rare book details the Esser Inlay technique, a method he developed for skin transplantation that has had a lasting impact on plastic and reconstructive surgery. Esser gained extensive surgical experience during World War I, where he operated on more than 10,000 severely disfigured soldiers. His expertise in treating facial and soft tissue injuries led to the development of new techniques that significantly improved the outcomes of reconstructive procedures. The Esser Inlay technique, which involves the use of skin grafts with a specialized inlay method to enhance healing and integration, became one of his most important contributions to the field. Originally published in 1940 by Brill in Leiden, Netherlands, this book features an extensive collection of 1,500 photographs and illustrations, meticulously documenting the inlay procedure. Esser provides a comprehensive anatomical and surgical guide to his technique, including detailed descriptions and clinical case studies. He also discusses patient selection, post-operative care, and potential complications, ensuring a thorough understanding of the method's applications. With its combination of surgical innovation, historical significance, and rich visual documentation, Esser Inlay remains an essential reference in the evolution of modern plastic and reconstructive surgery. Due to its originality and rarity, this book is highly sought after by collectors and medical historians alike, cementing Esser's legacy as a true pioneer in his field.
