Joseph Pancoast (1805-1882), a prominent figure in 19th-century surgery and medical education, introduced several innovative surgical techniques during his career While he made significant contributions to various areas of surgery, including plastic surgery and anatomy, his techniques were particularly notable for their precision and efficacy. Some of his surgical innovations are the facial grafting especially in rhinoplasty either by using a forehead graft or by using a graft from the cheeks. He introduced his own operation for Staphyloplasty by dissecting two flaps of mucous membrane having a triangular shape and contributed also in taliacotian operation, blepharoplasty, otoplasty, cheiloplastic operation in case of lip cancer, amputations at the hip-joint, ocular deformities and tongue cancer restoration. In ocular surgery he had produced a fine needle turned into a hook in order to be inserted behind the cornea to cut deeply the soft parts of the lens and withdraw any hardened nucleus.
约瑟夫·潘科斯特（Joseph Pancoast，1805 年-1882 年）是 19 世纪外科和医学教育领域的杰出人物，他在职业生涯中引入了几种创新的外科技术。虽然他在包括整形外科学和解剖学在内的多个外科领域做出了重要贡献，但他的技术尤其以其精确性和有效性而著称。他的一些外科创新包括面部移植，特别是在鼻整形术中，使用额部移植或颊部移植；他通过解剖两个三角形黏膜瓣来引入自己的葡萄球菌切除术；他还对外侧柱切开术、眼睑成形术、耳成形术、唇癌的唇成形术、髋关节截肢术、眼部畸形和舌癌恢复术做出了贡献。在眼部手术中，他制作了一个精细的针，将其变成一个钩子，以便插入角膜后面，深入切割晶状体的软组织，并取出任何硬化的核。
