Sažetak
Since its inception, Dubrovnik has been associated with medicine. The citizens of Dubrovnik have felt the need for development and improvement of public health conditions in their city as the basic conditions of their existence. In this context, we focused our attention to 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 dermatoveneorology 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 was 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 dermatovenerology are those of military doctor Marko Bibica. In the context of Dubrovnik dermatovenerology, we must mention doctor Luko Stulli, who was the first to describe Mal de Meleda.
