Abstract
Antonio Scarpa (1752-1832) is generally remembered for his discoveries in the field of anatomy, but he also provided some important contributions to the history of surgery. We analyzed main treatises written by Scarpa, highlighting how he contributed to the development of modern surgery. Scarpa made great innovations in three branches of surgery: abdominal surgery (hernia), orthopedics (clubfoot) and vascular surgery (aneurism). Furthermore, he contributed to the birth of modern ophthalmology.
