5. Figure 4
Johannes Scultetus gained a vast experience in cancer surgery, especially in breast cancer. This sequence of drawings shows a mastectomy. The vessels were cauterized. To avoid wound seroma and infection, a special binder was applied. This principle was the basis for his famous “many-tailed binder,” which has present applications.
