The pamphlet is a response to a work criticizing a publication by the Maltese trauma surgeon Michel'Angiolo Grima. The response is written by a military surgeon in Sicily and is addressed to another Sicilian military surgeon. Michel'Angiolo Grima (1729-1798) performed experiments on live dogs, publishing his findings in "Del nuovo e sicuro metodo di cucire gl'intestini allora quando in occasione di ferite o di altri vengan offese od allontanati dalla loro naturale contiguita". [A new and safe method of sewing the intestines when they are separated from their natural contiguity.] (Paris: Le Breton, 1760). "Injuries to the abdominal viscera were rarely actively treated, though musket balls impacted in the liver were extracted. In spite of his reluctance to operate on abdominal viscera injuries Grima had performed animal experiments to test the use of the cucitura spirale to perform end-to-end anastimosis. In his work published in 1760. Grima suggested that this technique could be used in cases of open injuries of the abdomen especially when this is complicated by prolapse and gangrene of the bowels.Grima's work on intestinal suturing came under criticism by his contemporaries G. Azzopardi and G. Bruno who in their 1762 publication 'Lettera apologetica contro la Dissertazione' claimed that Grima's suggestion was not an original one." -Quoted from an article by C. Savona-Ventura and G.G. Buttigieg published by the Association of Surgeons of Malta, 2008. The critique of Grima by Gaetano Azzopardi and the Maltese physician Giovanni Spiridione Bruno was published in Messina in 1762.
