Specialist Notes
Second edition but rare. Tommaso Alghisi was a pupil of Bellini, then archiatrist and lithotomist of Pope Clement XI; appointed master of anatomy at the hospital of Santa Maria in 1704, he wrote, with the lithotomy, a key text for the study of the "great apparatus". In this work, describing in detail his studies on bladder stones and analyzing their formation, the use of syringes and surgical techniques, he gave the first impulse to the practice of lithotripsy. & Nbsp;
