Sažetak
Since its inception, Dubrovnik has been associated with medicine.
The citizens of Dubrovnik have felt the need for the development and
improvement of public health conditions in their city as the basic conditions
of their existence. In this context, we focused our attention on the development
of dermatology and venereology to date; from the first hospital
Domus Christi to the modern hospital Medarevo; from the first doctors to
specialist doctors, who have marked dermatovenereology in Dubrovnik and
Croatia. Domus Christi started accepting patients in 1540 as a public sector
hospital and operated for more than 350 years. In 1847, doctors Pinelli
and Lopišić operated on breast cancer in this hospital with the use of ether
narcosis (one year after ether narcosis had been discovered). A doctor is first
mentioned in Dubrovnik in 1280, until this time it could be said that there
were no doctors. Medical operations were performed by barbers. The first
written records of a doctor in Dubrovnik practicing in dermatovenereology
are those of military doctor Marko Bibica. In the context of Dubrovnik dermatovenereology,
we must mention doctor Luko Stulli, who was the first to
describe Mal de Meleda.
