This authoritative work on hernia, from which are derived the eponyms "Scarpa's fascia" and "Scarpa's triangle" of the thigh, is enhanced by the ten life-size plates artistically drawn by Scarpa himself, depicting the operation and anatomical sections. Accompanying the principal plates are ten outline keys.
