Abstract:
This chapter is limited to the text of Della Cruce, which contains the most comprehensive account of the instruments used in cranial surgery at the time. Of particular importance is Della Cruce's attitude to what he called non-perforating straight trepans, which in general he disliked. It may be noted that his text was the last to describe this sort of instrument. In the succeeding centuries, changes to penetrating instruments were all variations on the shape of different kinds of crown trepan. Like Berengario, Della Cruce described brace and bit trepans with interchangeable bits. Various methods were employed to prevent them penetrating too deeply.
