De l’histoire des chirurgiens cachés derrière nos instruments du quotidien. Partie 4 : la rhinoplastie

Abstract

Many surgical instruments are named after their inventors, acclaimed surgeons of the past, because of their discoveries and their contributions in the field of surgical techniques. However, these daily reminders of history of surgery are often forgotten by the modern practitioners. We propose to review, through a selection of instruments, short biographies of these precursors. This fourth original article will focus on the inventors of rhinoplasty instruments: Joseph, Killian, Aufricht, Cottle and Claoué.

Keywords: Aufricht; Claoué; Cottle; Histoire de la chirurgie; History of Surgery; Instruments chirurgicaux; Joseph; Killian; Rhinoplastie; Rhinoplasty; Surgical instruments.
