Bologna, Tipografia delle Belle Arti, 1838, Folio, 25, (1) pp., Holzschnitt Fries auf der Titelseite, 2 gestochene und gefaltete Folio-Tafeln, Halbledereinband; feines, unbeschnittenes Exemplar. Rare First Edition! Sabattini "first had the idea of repairing a posttraumatic upper lip defect using a flap taken from the lower. The flap contains the three elements--skin, muscle, and mucosa--and is based on a specific vessel, the circumlabial artery. Therefore, it anticipates the musculocutaneous flap concept of today. Sabattini published his paper in 1838, 60 years before Abbé." "Could there be a genius loci in Bologna? This university, the oldest in the world, celebrated a double anniversary in 1988, the ninth century of the foundation of the university and the seventh century of the school of medicine. In fact, plastic surgery finds here its European roots in the monumental work of Gaspare Tagliacozzi (1597). Two hundred years later this same city gave birth to the highly imaginative surgeon Pietro Salbaittini. His report of a lip-switch operation can, without doubt, be considered a landmark in the evolution of lip reconstruction. AIthough the technique has been erroneously associated with tire names of more recent surgeons (i.e., Stein, Estlander, Abbe), Salaittini deserves credit for originating the idea, having so meticulously illustrated it in 1838. The ingenuity of his conception establishes Sabattini as an innovator in our craft." "Pietro Sabattini (1810-1864) was born in Bologna in 1810, son of Giovanni, a physician responsible for the introduction of vaccination in Bologna in 1815-1817. Pietro was assistant surgeon at Ospedale della Vita e della Morte, where Tagliacozzi had trained three centuries before. Sabattini became acting head of surgery at Ospedale S. Orxala in Bologna. It was here that he carried out, in August and September of 1837, two operations in the same individual: a forehead rhinoplasty to restore the amputated nose and a lip-switch cheiloplasty to reconstruct the missing upper lip, both parts having been lost in a single saber stroke."

Surg., 85/4 (1990), pp.621-626 "The musculocutaneous labial flap is today known as the Abbé flap, from the American surgeon Robert Abbé (1851-1928), who published his report on the transposition labial flap in a widely read English language medical journal 60 years after Dr. Sabattini.5 For these reasons, the flap should be named more properly the "Sabattini-Abbé flap" in honor of our ancient colleague."
