Une sanglante audace: les amputations du col de l'utérus au début du XIXe siècle en France (2008)
During the 1820s and 30s the number of uterus cervix amputations increased in France, becoming a specialty for some famous surgeons such as Jacques Lisfranc. Since the end of the 1820s however the operation is known as useless and dangerous by specialists and censured in medical papers. Why did Lisfranc carry on operating? This paper tries to elucidate the intricate reasons of his success and passion by exploring not only the scientific and technical context but also the social and professional struggles in the rising art of 19th century surgery.
