- Summary
-
Pare was the greatest of army surgeons before Larrey. He is particularly remembered for his abandonment of boiling oil and for the cautery, for his revival of podalic version, his reintroduction of the ligature, and his invention of many new surgical instruments. He was the first to suggest that syphilis is a cause of aneurysm. He popularized the truss, introduced artificial limbs and, in dentistry, reimplantation of teeth. The first edition of the works was in 1575. The best is that edited by Malgaigne, 1840-44. The English translation by Thomas Johnson appeared in 1634. -- H.W. Orr.
