Ambroise Pare (1510 - December 20, 1590) was a French surgeon, anatomist and inventor. He was royal surgeon for kings Henry II, Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III and is considered one of the fathers of surgery and modern forensic pathology. The 1585 edition of Pare's Oeuvres (Collected Works) represents the final summary of his life's work. It has over twelve hundred folio pages, with nearly four hundred illustrations drawing upon a lifetime of practice. Pare was a leader in surgical techniques and pioneered modern battlefield wound treatment. Pare introduced the ligature of arteries instead of cauterization during amputation. Just as bullets required special extractors, so too did arrowheads and darts. These implements, both plain and ornate, were designed for extracting the point when the shaft was no longer in place. | |
