Yet, Aulus Cornelius Celsus, a famous doctor and encyclopedist of the first century <jats:sc>AD<\/jats:sc>, was among the first to propose surgical treatment and carry it out successfully, according to his accounts. Many physicians attempted to treat several types of \u201chernia\u201d before him, but more \u201cscientific\u201d information with details and complete descriptions could be found only in Celsus\u2019 work. In his book <jats:italic>De<\/jats:italic><jats:italic>Medicina<\/jats:italic>, Celsus described eight types of \u201chernia\u201d: bronchocele, umbilical hernia, intestinal and omental hernias, hydrocele, varicocele, sarcocele (hernia carnosa), and inguinal hernia. Among them, some retain their ancient nomenclature up to now, although others have acquired gradually different terminology or are not recognized by physicians today as \u201chernias\u201d (<jats:italic>e.g.<\/jats:italic>, bronchocele). For each type of \u201chernia\u201d, Celsus provided his readers with an extremely detailed, well reasoned description of the execution of surgical procedures accompanied usually with pre\u2010 and postoperative instructions. His innovations particularly concerned ligature of the vessels. He recommended that an injured vessel be tied in two places with lint threads and then cut between the ties. Other pre\u2010 and postoperative practices, such as sterilization and bandaging of the incised area, were elements that helped in the advances of medicine, and some of them still exist in modern medicine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-005-7808-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,9,6]],"date-time":"2005-09-06T13:21:40Z","timestamp":1126012900000},"page":"1343-1347","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Treatment of \u201cHernia\u201d in the Writings of Celsus (First Century <scp>AD<\/scp>)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Niki S.","family":"Papavramidou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"History of Medicine Division, School of Medicine Aristotle University of Thessaloniki PO Box 356 54124 Thessaloniki Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Christopoulou\u2010Aletras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"History of Medicine Division, School of Medicine Aristotle University of Thessaloniki PO Box 356 54124 Thessaloniki Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_2","first-page":"3","volume-title":"Hernia","author":"Patino JF","year":"1995"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-002-6297-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_2","first-page":"37","volume-title":"Oeuvres Compl\u00e9tes d\u2019Hippocrate, Des Airs, des Eaux et des Lieux","author":"Littr\u00e9 E","year":"1840"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_2","unstructured":"Littr\u00e9E.Oeuvres Compl\u00e9tes d\u2019Hippocrate Epidemies livre II.
