DESCRIZIONE

Throughout human history, the depiction of the breast has been a subject explored by artists, poets, and scholars alike.
It has been immortalized in the strokes of painters, the chisels of sculptors, and the verses of poets, while also undergoing meticulous study both in its aesthetic form and structural intricacies, as well as in its pathological manifestations.
Notable works such as the sculpture “Artemis Ephesia,” the painting “The Origin of the Milky Way” by Tintoretto, and the poem “Exotic Perfume” by C. Baudelaire stand as timeless examples of how the breast has been celebrated and contemplated across different artistic mediums.
However, beyond its artistic and aesthetic significance, the breast holds profound sociocultural implications that have shaped women’s lives for centuries, often constraining their autonomy.
These implications persist today across various social strata.
Therefore, in the context of this discourse, the paramount importance lies in acknowledging and integrating the woman’s agency in decision-making processes, particularly concerning surgical interventions.
This shared decision-making approach ensures that the woman remains at the forefront of considerations, guiding the diverse choices in surgical treatments.
The Edwin Smith Papyrus stands as the oldest surviving medical treatise, providing a remarkable glimpse into ancient medical practices.
Penned in Hieratic script during Egypt’s Second Intermediate Period, roughly around 1600 B.C., it predominantly delves into surgical matters.
Notably, amidst its contents, there are eight mentions of breastrelated ailments. Of significant historical importance is its detailed description of a breast tumor, marking a pivotal moment in the annals of medical history as the earliest recorded account of such a condition.
Over the centuries, we’ve amassed a wealth of written records chronicling the evolution of anatomical, physiological, and pathological studies related to the breasts, alongside advancements in surgical techniques across ablative, reconstructive, and cosmetic domains.
For a comprehensive exploration, one might refer to A. Pulchinotta’s enlightening work, “Storia illustrata della senologia fra scienza e mito”.
In crafting this treatise, our aim was to depart from the traditional medical or surgical textbook format. While these texts undeniably play a crucial role in expanding knowledge, we sought to offer something refreshingly different: a visually immersive experience. Through a meticulously curated collection of drawings, photographs, and microfilms, our intent is to provide surgeons with immediate access to optimal surgical solutions. Moreover, we’ve structured the content to facilitate swift navigation, ensuring ease of reference throughout the entire planning and material selection process.
