Biography
French surgeon and physiologist, a specialist in pain, vascular surgery and the sympathetic trunk. He sensitized many who were mutilated in the first World war, and was the first to be interested in pain and to practise gentle surgery with as little trauma as possible. Two symptoms have the name Algoneurodystrophy and the aortic iliac obliteration. He trained many students, such as Michael E. DeBakey, Jão Cid dos Santos, René Fontaine and Jean Kunlino.
He died on 28 December 1955, aged 76, in Cassis.
