We present and discuss the previously unrecognized evidence for the possible introduction of cataract extraction by aspiration into modern Western medicine on March 26, 1815, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by surgeon Philip Syng Physick. On this date, he successfully extracted a cataract by suction through a tube, according to newspaper reports written by the patient, an attorney who sought a patent on the suction device. Aspects of the patient's account are confirmed by supporting evidence from the medical community and by a cataract instrument set attributed to Physick, which includes a cannula attached to a syringe. The evidence suggests that Physick was the first to reintroduce cataract aspiration to Western medicine.
我们展示并讨论了此前未被认识到的证据，这些证据表明，1815年3月26日，在宾夕法尼亚州费城，外科医生菲利普·辛格·菲齐克（Philip Syng Physick）可能将抽吸白内障摘除术引入了现代西方医学。据患者（一位寻求该抽吸装置专利的律师）撰写的报纸报道，在这一天，他通过一根管子成功地通过抽吸摘除了白内障。患者叙述的各个方面得到了医学界的支持证据以及一套归属于菲齐克的白内障器械的证实，这套器械包括一个连接着注射器的套管。证据表明，菲齐克是第一个将白内障抽吸术重新引入西方医学的人。
