Cross comparison of Galen and Islamicate surgery

Galen, in my opinion, brought the field of surgery a lot closer to renaisanace levels than most scholars did (if at least due to possible Indian influences, such as the Indian surgeon Sushruta).

However, we will nevertheless cross-compare Galenic surgery to the following Muslim scholars:


Albucasis-  The most notable Andalusian surgeon
Ibn Sina-  The most notable Persian medical scientist

Şerafeddin Sabuncuoğlu- An Ottoman surgeon
