Abstract

People remember the Eiffel towers, but not milestones. And if one remembers doctors of long past centuries, we thereby prove that they were outstanding representatives of medicine of their time. In 2017, 240 years passed since the birth of one of the greatest surgeons of France - Guillaume Dupuytren. The article is dedicated to his life stages, personal qualities and professional achievements. He was called «riverside robber» and «wild animal on the Seine», however, he was listened to. The famous surgeon, protege of Pinelo, Cuvier and Corvizar, despite the hardest times for his country, made a huge contribution to the development of not only French, but the world surgery. Absolute perfectionism in everything, gloominess, arrogance towards colleagues and students prevented Dupuytren from finding a common language with the surrounding people, and sometimes making the work under his leadership unbearable. Nevertheless, these features did not prevent Dupuytren from writing his name in the history of world medicine. Some of the symptoms and diseases are named after him, and the most famous among them at the present time is Dupuytren’s flexural contracture. Lectures written by his assistants according to his words, made a huge contribution to the development of surgery. In addition, under his leadership, the oldest hospital in Paris took one of the leading positions among hospitals in Europe. Dedicated to his job, Guillaume Dupuytren saw patients until the very last day. Outstanding skills, enthusiasm and conscientious work made Dupuytren one of the greatest surgeons in history, his contribution in science impossible to overrate.
