"Paulus Aegineta (VI. xxv) thus describes the excision of nasal polypus: ' Holding in his right hand the polypus scalpel, which is shaped like a myrtle leaf and sharp pointed, we cut round the polypus or fleshy tumour, applying the point of the steel blade to the part where it adheres to the nose. Afterwards turing the instrument end for end we bring out the separated fleshy body with the scoop.' (Page 39)."
