"Buck's skilled reconstruction of Carleton Burgon's deformed face was one of the greatest operative triumphs of nineteenth-century American surgery" Rutkow Gurdon Buck "was a surgeon at both of the New York Hospital and St. Luke's Hospital at the time he wrote this report of one of the most famous cases of reconstructive surgery performed in nineteenth-century of America. The patient was Carleton Burgan, who while serving in the Civil War, developed a rapidly spreading ulcer on the right side of his face with massive tissue loss, probably resulting from treatment with mercuralis for presumed venereal disease. Over the course of six months Buck preformed five separate procedures to reconstruct Burgan's face. Thomas B. Gunning, a New York dentist, assisted in the preparation of an artificial "roof" for the mouth and teeth." Ira M. Rutkow Gurdon Buck (1807-1877) "was a pioneering military plastic surgeon during the Civil War. He is known for being the first doctor to incorporate pre- and post-operative photographs into his publications. Buck's fascia and Buck's extension are both named after him." Wiki Burgan's case "is considered Buck's greatest reconstructive triumph" Rutkow GS83 See - Antony F. Wallace: The Progress of Plastic Surgery (1982), pp.33-37 Rutkow PSp27; Patterson II, p.75.
