Kiel und Hadersleben:: Schwer'sche, 1872., 1872. 210 x 138 mm. 8vo. [iv], 92 pp. 2 figs.; short ms. note at rear. Original quarter brown cloth, marbled boards; some gentle mends to the spine (using kozo). Paper slightly browned, else very good. RARE. Report presented to the third Versammlung des Vereines Schleswig-Holsteinisher Aerzte, 1868. / Esmarch studied medicine at the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel and became a member of the Burschenschaft Teutonia zu Kiel. He transferred to the Georg-August-University of Gottingen and attended lectures and assisted Bernhard von Langenbeck. In his eighth semester, he had to interrupt his studies to serve in the First Schleswig War of Liberation as a lieutenant in the Turner- und Studentencorps (gymnastics and student corps) and adjutant to the commander of the Jagercorps (rifle corps); he received his medical diploma from Langenbeck before the first Battle of Langenbeck. In Gottingen, he received his doctorate in medicine in 1848; in 1849, he qualified as a university lecturer in surgery. As a senior physician, second class, he was assistant to the Surgeon General, Louis Stromeyer. From 1854, he succeeded Stromeyer as full professor of surgery and ophthalmology in Kiel and director of the Friedrichshospital on Flamische Straße. His assistant from 1886 to 1890 was the surgeon August Bier. Military surgery and first aid were the main focus of Esmarch's professional life. He gained extensive experience during the Schleswig-Holstein Uprising and the three German Wars of Unification. He introduced the bandage pack and the triangular bandage in 1879, as well as leg splints and the first-aid knapsack. In his hometown of Tonning, he also became known as "Fiete Isbudel" (Fiete Ice Pack) for his invention of the ice pack. He had already promoted first aid in his widely reprinted 1869 treatise, *The First Bandage on the Battlefield *. / From 1854 to 1899, he was director of the University Surgical Clinic, a position he used to introduce many new methods. When von Esmarch retired on 1 April 1899, Heinrich Helferich succeeded him as director of the surgical clinic. / Together with the psychiatrist Peter Willers Jessen, he was the first to hypothesize, based on clinical studies, that syphilis was the cause of neurosyphilis in 1857. During the Franco-Prussian War, he served as a consultant surgeon to the Prussian army. He became one of the most important surgeons of the 19th century. He is credited with the triangular bandage used to support arm injuries and developed two important procedures that are still used today and bear his name: the Esmarch maneuver and the "Esmarch tourniquet," published in 1873, in which the extremities are wrapped with an elastic rubber bandage, thus reducing blood loss during surgery. Esmarch recognized the importance of artificial tourniquets, which were based on the gag used by Etienne J. Morel (1674), for the treatment of extensive soft tissue injuries. [wikip.].
