"Barbette's Chirurgia Barbettiana (1658) went through ten editions and numerous translations. His Opera Omnia were published twenty-two times and in many languages. He was the first to suggest laparotomy for intestinal obstruction, and after performing splenectomy on dogs, he advised its performance on the human in certain cases. He was also the first to describe femoral hernia. Concerning amputation he advised it above the line of infection, but performed it only if gangrene was present." -- H.W. Orr.
