Preface
Léon Dorn is one of the most famous medical illustrators in the world. Even today, at 80 years of age, he continues to pursue his work with the same enthusiasm. His work coincides with his great passion: the representation of the human body. Anatomy holds no secrets for him. He has spent countless hours in operating theatres, dissecting rooms and with himself; when Léon Dorn is drawing hands, he is drawing his own hands ... Until recently, medical illustration was an undervalued job. The illustrators were basically artists, attracted to the human body. Many of them were self-trained people. Most of the time they were not well considered and some publishers even refused to mention their names in books. Today, medical illustration has gained its ‘letters patent of nobility’. Léon Dorn has witnessed the emergence, the development and the now well recognised state of the medical illustration. Dorn is specially involved in the illustration of surgical techniques, which is probably the most difficult part of the art of medical illustration since the illustrator must attend surgical operations to understand what exactly is being done and then distil a long procedure into a few drawings. Usually, no more than five to seven drawings are needed to illustrate a surgical technique.The skill and possibly the genius of the artist lies in their ability to condense multiple operating stages into a limited number of drawings. From a didactic point of view, it reveals the superiority of drawings over film. A film (movie or video sequence) delivers a linear succession of snap shots whereas a single drawing illustrates an entire sequence of a technical procedure. For learning a technique, human understanding proceeds more by intuitive discerning of whole stages rather than separate elementary actions. This is the reason why the medical illustration based on drawings is superior to one based on videos. In spite of the recent advances in techniques of communication, the illustrated book will always be valid for the learning process. I would like just to comment upon Léon Dorn’s manner of working. Some illustrators work at home, trying to restore a surgical technique from a draft prepared by the surgeon. Dorn’s method is quite different. For him, the illustrator is like a reporter, an eye witness and a field worker; he has to perceive the intensity of an acute stage to express it through the drawing. This book is an attempt to communicate this particular state of mind. With Léon Dorn we have selected over 300 drawings from among a collection of several thousands. These selected drawings do not constitute a treatise of surgical techniques. Their function is to highlight one of the main stages of the illustrator’s work, which is the ‘almost finished rough sketch’. For that reason the drawings are still outlines in lead pencil, in black and white. We have included a few definitive drawings in colour to show the contrast between what is actually published and what is the most important stage of the artist’s work. Thus we present isolated drawings or several associated drawings, taken from different surgical fields, which do not constitute the complete description of a surgical technique. The drawings are succinctly explained, just for understanding what they show. Where they are present, we have kept the legends written by the artist as an aid for the definitive drawing. On the other hand, we have not added new legends that could impede the serene contemplation of the drawings.What is important for the readers is to open their eyes for pleasure; the secret is not in the text but in the illustrations. Léon Dorn has rejuvenated the tradition of the medical illustrators who were initially artists admiring the human body, such as Calcar, the pupil of Le Titian, who immortalised the dissections of Vesalius, or Jacob, the pupil of David, who drew the anatomical preparations of Bourgery.

Léon Dorn
A biographical note
Léon Dorn was born in Paris in 1920. He lived in Israel from 1932 to 1965, where he worked in a kibbutz. This long stay in Israel was interrupted for two years (1953–1954) during which he studied at the Academy of Arts in Florence (Italy). In 1961, he was named general secretary of the Organisation of Painters and Sculptors of Kibboutzim. He began to work as a medical illustrator when he came back to France in 1965. He was mostly commissioned by Masson Publishers and, in 1989, was invited by Professor Tubiana to illustrate surgical books for Martin Dunitz. His illustrations for An Atlas of Flaps in Limb Reconstruction (published by Martin Dunitz) won the Royal Society of Medicine Atlas award in 1995. Léon Dorn is a pioneer of modern medical illustration in France. He actively participated in the efforts of the European Association of Medical and Scientific Illustrators to promote special schools devoted to medical illustration. A department was opened at the Ecole Estienne of Paris in 1992.

Notes on method
What is the method of Léon Dorn? Another form of this fascinating question could be: How is the genesis of a definitive drawing? The secret of Léon Dorn is based on two principles: 1. An excellent knowledge of anatomy. As Léon Dorn has worked with many surgeons from different specialties, he has indepth knowledge of the anatomy of the human body. Moreover, he has contributed to several books on anatomy. It can be said that during his entire professional life Dorn has continued to compare anatomy as described and taught in books with real-life anatomy as encountered in operating rooms and theatres. 2. The second principle issues from the first. Léon Dorn draws ‘live’. In his professional life he is permanently on the move to attend surgical operations and dissections. The vast majority of his illustrations have not been drawn from photographs or rough sketches made by surgeons but from what he has seen and observed. The realisation of a definitive drawing as it will be published in a book has three important stages. It has been difficult to retrieve all the stages for one drawing from Dorn’s archives. He has lost many drawings, and the first stage of a drawing is generally destroyed. We have only one example of a complete series. a) The first drawing is done in the operating room or in a theatre of anatomy. It can be called a sketch, but it is a very precise sketch. All the proportions are good, and all the structures are set in place: the nerves are coloured yellow, veins blue and arteries red. Some legends are added to remember exactly what has been drawn. b) The second stage is drawn ‘at home’. It is the intermediate stage between the sketch and the definitive drawing. It can be called the ‘rough drawing’. Details are precisely drawn, for example the representation of the arteries and the thickness of the subcutaneous tissue. In this stage, primarily the shadows are applied to increase the impression of volume for the muscles and the perspective for the deep structures.The rough drawing is given to the surgeon who can then modify any detail on a tracing paper firmly attached to the drawing. c) The definitive drawing is made once the rough drawing has been corrected. The structures are coloured or underlined in black ink and with paint. The destiny of each stage is quite different: • • • The sketches are generally destroyed or lost. The definitive drawing is given to the publisher and becomes their property. The intermediate stage – the rough drawing – which is, in fact, the most beautiful stage because it is the most realistic, remains the property of Léon Dorn.

1 Reconstructive surgery

During the past 30 years, reconstructive surgery has undergone incredible development. One of the main factors is microsurgical techniques which have permitted transfer of all kinds of tissue. There has been a renewed interest in anatomy, especially for the description of nutritive sources and vascular pedicles.

Recent advances in immunosuppressive treatment have allowed allotransplantation of functional organs, such as the hand. An Atlas of Flaps of the Musculoskeletal System is the latest book illustrated by Léon Dorn. All the drawings are based on anatomical dissections and every detail is authentic.

Anatomy: the tree of flaps
The tree of flaps for the upper limb
Numerous flaps have been described. The upper extremity is the source of fasciocutaneous flaps which can be used either as pedicled island flaps or as free revascularised flaps.The main vascular axis (the axillary artery or brachial artery) is considered as the trunk of the tree. Secondary arteries (such as the radial or ulnar artery) are the divisions of the trunk. The vascular pedicles of the flaps are formed from small branches and the flaps are the leaves.

Sural skin flap
The sural skin flap is a neurocutaneous flap which is raised on the posterior aspect of the calf. A The skin paddle is isolated on an adipofascial pedicle which contains a vein, superficial nerve and arterial network.

B The fascia is included in the flap and its pedicle to spare the fascial blood supply.

Reconstructive surgery
Vascularised bone transfers
Vascularised bone transfers have dramatically improved the treatment of bone defects. Healing occurs quickly avoiding the state of ‘creeping substitution’ specific to the revascularisation of conventional bone grafts.

Vascularised osteoperiosteal flap from the femur
This transfer is chiefly indicated in craniofacial surgery. It can also be used as a pedicled island flap to promote bone healing in a recalcitrant non-union of the femur. The flap is detached from the medial aspect of the distal metaphysis of the femur. It is supplied by the descending genicular artery that issues from the lower femoral artery.

Vascularised fibula transfer
The vascularised fibula is now of much interest in reconstructive surgery of long bone defects. A The fibula has been isolated with the peroneal vessels remaining protected by a portion of the tibialis posterior or the flexor hallucis longus muscles. The transfer is severed at both extremities, sparing a cuff of periosteum.

Forearm radial flap
This flap was the origin of a true revolution in 1980. Described by Chinese authors it is supplied by the radial artery and started the era of distally based pedicled island flaps, with retrograde blood flow, which were initially considered difficult to achieve. A, B The flap is raised progressively on its vascular axis which is maintained in continuity during the first step of the dissection. A

Reconstructive surgery
Posterior interosseous flap
The flap is raised on the posterior aspect of the forearm.The advantage of this flap is the absence of sacrifice of a main vascular axis, since it is supplied by a small artery called the posterior interosseous artery. The technique is not easy and it is difficult to represent by drawings because of the different planes of perspective in depth. A The flap is partially raised; a posterior hinge is maintained while exploring the vessels.

The hand is probably a field of predilection for Léon Dorn. He has worked very hard as the hand is not easy to depict. Dorn was the renowned collaborator of Raoul Tubiana for the monumental book Chirurgie de la Main.

Among Dorn’s vast production of illustrations of the hand can be seen some which truly demonstrate the true skill of the artist.

Flexor digitorum superficialis transfer to the thumb
This procedure allows, in a single drawing, to see the opposite side of the base of the thumb. Therefore, we can see the fixation of the tendon transfer on the ulnar side of the thumb. Paralysis of all intrinsic muscles of the thumb. FDS transfer to the thumb.The best site for the pulley is at the proximal pole of the pisiform. The simplest procedure consists of passing the transfer around the tendon of the FCU. However, if this muscle is paralysed, its tendon stretches and the direction of the transfer will not be maintained. In this event it is advisable to perform a tenodesis of the paralysed FCU tendon to the ulna proximal to the pulley.

Pollicisation of the index finger
The procedure of pollicisation consists of transferring a finger to replace a missing thumb. It is one of the most difficult techniques in surgery of the hand. The skin incision should be precisely designed, dissection must be accurate and cautious and the result should be assessed cosmetically and functionally. The series of drawings shows pollicisation of the index finger, which is the most frequently performed. A Dissection of the dorsal aspect, skin flaps being reflected.

Nerve surgery is particularly important in the upper limb, as the ultimate purpose of the upper extremity is the function of the hand.Tunnel syndromes are frequent (median nerve at the wrist, ulnar nerve at the elbow, etc) and cause pain and disability. Traumatic lesions require exploration and repair either by direct suturing or by nerve grafts. One of the most dramatic lesions is the partial or total paralysis of the brachial plexus as a result of trauma.The first figure shows the exposure of the brachial plexus.

Urology is a surgical specialty covering a large number of indications and procedures. Transplantation of the kidney was the first successful allotransplantation to be performed a short time after the Second World War. This extraordinary achievement marked the start of the modern era of organ transplantation aided by the

advances in immunology. Urology is also concerned with reconstructive procedures involving loss of substance irrespective of the aetiology: tumour, congenital, traumatic, etc. The last section of this chapter covers surgery of the sexual organs in sex modification.

5 Abdominal surgery

The following series of illustrations is devoted to surgery of the abdominal viscera. The organs of the abdomen can be removed in case of tumour-like cancer; they can also be used in palliative procedures to reconstruct another organ which has been removed. The ileum, which is the distal portion of the small intestine, is not absolutely indispensable for normal physiology; it is routinely employed to replace a missing bladder.

Great advances have been made in liver surgery recently, particularly in the field of transplantation. The division of the liver into segments is based upon ramification of bile ducts and hepatic vessels and does not entirely correspond with division into lobes. Segmental resections are of major interest in traumatology and surgery of liver tumours. One of the main recent advances is the possibility of transferring a lobe from the liver of a living donor to replace an entire liver in a recipient patient.

7 Upper limb surgery

Surgery of the upper limb has increasingly gained interest over the past 20 years. This is due to the major development of the surgery of the hand, which is equally performed by orthopaedic and plastic surgeons. Moreover many recent advances have been made in the field of surgery of the shoul-

der and elbow, chiefly in relation to the possibilities offered by arthroscopy and prosthetic replacements. Thus, we have given some examples of surgery of the upper limb in a separate section instead of including them in the chapter on surgery of the hand and wrist.

Exposures of the acetabulum
Surgery of the acetabulum is difficult given the depth of the joint and the extensive bone lesions. Reconstructive surgery of the acetabulum was popularised by R. Judet and E. Letournel.The following series of drawings is among the most beautiful and precise artwork of Léon Dorn.

Muscular studies
The shape of the human body is very attractive for a medical illustrator. Studies of the muscular relief were one of the main interests of the artists of the Renaissance. It can be said that one of the motivations for dissection during this period was to understand how the muscles contribute to the shape of the body. The following drawings of Léon Dorn, particularly the first one, recall the ‘écorché of Vésale’. The difference is that Vésale’s man seems to be very anxious while Dorn’s has a relaxed (modern) attitude.
