   • 1746, “Da Amputaçam ou Mutilaçam” (chapter XXXVII), in Jacob de Castro Sarmento, transl., Tratado das operaçoens de cirurgia, translation of A Treatise on the Operations of Surgery by Samuel Sharp, page 353:

     Muitas veſes ſuccede nos exercitos, que o braço recebeo huma ferida de arma de fogo junto da eſpadoa, e que a ferida requere o fazerſe a Amputaçam na meſma eſpadoa; mas o receyo e medo de que a hemorragia venha a cauſar a morte a o enfermo na Operaçam tem amedrentado e impedido os Cirurgioens de entreprendela.

     [original: There are in the Armies a great many Inſtances of Gun-ſhot Wounds of the Arm near the Scapula, which require Amputation at the Shoulder; but the Apprehenſion of loſing their Patients on the Spot by the Hæmorrhage, has deterred Surgeons from undertaking it.]
