Surgical Procedure of Tracheotomy
by Meam Wye
Muslim Physician Abu Merwan ’Abdal-Malik ibn Zuhr, Latin name Avenzoar,(1091-1161) was the first surgeon to successfully perform the surgical procedure of Tracheotomy on a goat and give its correct description in the 12th century.
Tracheotomy is a surgical procedure, performed in emergency situations, on the neck to open a direct airway through an incision inthe windpipe. Ibn Zuhr is considered the father of experimental surgery. He was the first to employ animal testing in order to make surgical procedures safe for human beings. His book Al-Taisir Fil-Mudawat Wal-Tadbeer (Book of Simplification Concerning Therapeutics and Diet) was translated into Latin in the late 13th century and was used in European universities until the 18th century.
