Surgery has evolved along with anatomical illustrations through the ages. Joseph Gensoul (1797-1858), an important figure of the great Lyonnaise medical tradition of the 19th century, was occupied with many different surgical diseases, mostly diseases of the face. Apart from his many contributions stand various techniques on ophthalmological, otorhinolaryngological and oral and maxillofacial surgery. In this context, two rare illustrations depicting an innovative facial surgical operation performed by the great surgeon Joseph Gensoul are thoroughly analyzed. The two illustrations represent the "before" and "after" phases of Gensoul's most eminent operation, most probably practiced for a maxillary sinus carcinoma. This surgical operation is probably the earliest recorded of its kind in the history of surgery, even though the development of maxillary surgery is connected with the practice of Irwin Moure, who also practiced a type of lateral rhinotomy about a century later than Gensoul. Surgical illustrations are closely related to the history of surgery in every corner of the world.
手术随着解剖学插图的发展而演变。约瑟夫·根索尔（Joseph Gensoul，1797-1858 年）是 19 世纪伟大的里昂医学传统的重要人物，他擅长治疗许多不同的外科疾病，主要是面部疾病。除了他的许多贡献外，他还发明了多种眼科、耳鼻喉科和口腔颌面外科技术。在这种情况下，深入分析了两幅罕见的插图，描绘了这位伟大的外科医生约瑟夫·根索尔（Joseph Gensoul）进行的一项创新面部外科手术的“前后”阶段。这两幅插图代表了根索尔最杰出手术的“之前”和“之后”阶段，很可能是为上颌窦癌进行的手术。尽管上颌窦手术的发展与欧文·莫尔（Irwin Moure）的实践有关，但这项手术可能是手术史上最早记录的此类手术之一，他在根索尔之后大约一个世纪也进行了一种外侧鼻切开术。外科插图与世界各地的外科史密切相关。
