On December 12, 1785, the famous British surgeon John Hunter ligated an artery that was feeding a popliteal aneurysm. During the procedure he ligated only the proximal side of the artery and left the aneurysm sac untouched. This is frequently viewed as a landmark event in the history of surgery. There is considerable evidence, however, that another surgeon, Dominique Anel, performed a substantially similar procedure more than 75 years earlier. It is possible that the weight Hunter's name has borne in the history of surgery has led to the procedure's bearing his name rather than that of the lesser known Anel.
1785年12月12日，著名的英国外科医生约翰·亨特结扎了一条为腘动脉瘤供血的动脉。在手术过程中，他只结扎了动脉的近端，而未触及动脉瘤囊。这一事件常被视为外科手术史上的一个里程碑。然而，有大量证据表明，另一位外科医生多米尼克·阿内尔在75多年前就进行了实质上类似的手术。有可能是亨特在外科手术史上的显赫声名导致了该手术以他的名字命名，而非不太知名的阿内尔。
