LAPEYRONIE François Gigot de (1678-1747) chirurgien.
L.A.S. "Lapeyronie", [October 1741], to Claude-Nicolas LECAT, "surgeon major of the Hotel Dieu in Rouen"| 3 1/2 pages in-4, address with red wax seal (engraved portrait enclosed).
Interesting medical letter on the operation of the waist.
[This rare letter brings together two of the greatest surgeons of their time, both of whom were surgeons to Louis XV.]
He thanks Lecat for sending the drawing of the instruments he uses "to perform the operation of pruning in which one opens the body of the bladder without interfering with the urethra, the prostates, or the neck of the bladder. Your probe seemed to me very ingenious| it fixes the incision that must be made in this organ, a perfection that is lacking in the operation of Mr. FOUBERT. If you could open the vesica always in the same place and make an incision sufficient for the passage of a large stone, you should not find any obstacle for the extraction of the stone, I believe that the obstacle which stopped you in the extraction of the stones, by this method, came from the erector muscle, which cannot be cut without inconvenience in the angle it makes with the accelerator muscle towards the root of the penis. But you can, without cutting it, make a sufficient opening by extending it towards the lower part, which is what Mr. Foubert does, who, as far as I can see, has often pulled, with success, stones so large that there is reason to believe that by the other methods they could not have been pulled without causing mortal discharges. He is currently working on a description of his method, which I believe that your probe, when he knows it, will give a great perfection"... Then he evokes the last operations of the size made by him or his fellow-members of the Hôtel-Dieu...
