German surgeon, also known as Johann Schultes or Shultes who wrote Armamentarium chirurgicum (Surgical Armamentarium), the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century's most popular guidebook of surgical instruments, techniques, and procedures. Edited by his nephew, also named Johannes Scultetus (d. 1663), the work was first published posthumously in 1655, then translated into most modern European languages, appearing in its final new Latin edition in 1741. Its contents include mastectomy, splinting, lithotomy (the removal of stones from the bladder), trephination, wound and injury repair, cesarean section, and amputation.
