LE CAT, Claude-Nicolas.- Parallèle de la taille latérale de Mr. Le Cat, avec celle du lithotome-caché. Suivi de deux dissertations : I. Sur l'adhérence des pierres à la vessie.- II. Sur quelques nouveaux moyens de briser la pierre &c. Publié par Alexandre Pierre Nahuys. Amsterdam, Marc Michel Rey, 1766. In-8° : frontispice, xiv-16-292-[12] pp. et 7 hors-texte dépliants (découpe marginale de papier aux pp. 101-102 sinon frais). Rel. de l'époque : plein veau marbré (ex. de travail : coupes, coins, mors usagés voire fendus, traces d'anciennes restaurations). Edition originale (et sans doute unique) illustrée d'un frontispice d'après Gravelot et de planches figurant les instruments de chirurgie et l'opération proprement dite. L'ouvrage concerne les opérations d'extraction des pierres dans la vessie, les reins etc. (des appareils ayant servi à cette opération sont exposés au Musée de la médecine à Paris).Le Cat (1700-1768) fut nommé chirurgien en 1728 et exerça à Rouen où il créa un amphithéâtre de dissection en 1736 et une académie en 1744. Son nom reste attaché à l'opération de la taille de la pierre, méthode de Cheselden qu'il perfectionna avec succès malgré les partisans de Jean Baseilhac dit Frère Cosme, défenseur de la lithotritie, inventeur du lithotome caché et de la sonde à dard. Ses ouvrages sont encore estimés, plus particulièrement ceux relatifs à la taille.# Blake 260; # Wellcome III-468; # Bibl. Walleriana 5658 (incomplet des pp. lim.); pas à la BN (imprimé et on-line). 180 Euros
