Surgeon to the king and the battlefields, Ambroise Paré is often considered the father of modern surgery1. Inventor of numerous instruments, he participated in the improvement and dissemination of a new type of cauterization technique. The widespread use of firearms confronts surgeons with wounds of a new type, which are cauterized with a hot iron or boiling oil at the risk of killing the injured person. Paré developed the ligation of arteries2, which he substituted for cauterization, in amputations. “Je le pansay, Dieu le guarist”: this modest phrase from Paré is often cited to summarize his philosophy (quote in Middle French meaning: “I bandai him, God heals him. )... In 1553, he was a prisoner at the siege of Hesdin25 (currently Old Hesdin26 before its destruction by Charles V). At that time, the Brotherhood of Saint-Côme, which had brought together barber-surgeons since the 13th century, had recently been transformed into a college of surgery. However, surgeons remained under the supervision of doctors and sought to free themselves from it, or at least to limit it. For example, dissections and autopsies were carried out by surgeons, but, in theory, in the presence of a doctor, the only one authorized to write the report. Paré having a great reputation and the support of the king, the college of Saint-Côme decided to join Paré. This is how he received the master's cap27 on December 8, 155428, despite the opposition of the faculty of medicine and his poor knowledge of Latin, although obligatory. The support of the king was the strongest29. In 1561 and 1562, he published two other works including his Universal Anatomy of the Human Body. On January 1, 1562, Catherine de Medici appointed him first surgeon to King Charles IX. Paré was then sent back to the aid of the armies, first to Rouen, then to Dreux and Le Havre. The religious wars between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots) resumed with a vengeance, bloodying the country for the next thirty years. From 1564 to 1566, Paré accompanied Charles IX on a visit across France and took the opportunity to uncover new avenues of research. In 1564, he published Ten books of surgery: with the store of instruments necessary for surgery, where we find the first known use of the word bistouri (in fact bistorie, feminine) in the surgical sense30. The greatest innovation is, for amputations, to ligate the arteries and dress the wound with a mixture of egg yolk, rosate oil and turpentine rather than cauterizing with boiling oil. He swears not to burn the poor wounded again so cruelly. Legend has it that this verbal exchange took place between Charles IX and Ambroise Paré: “—I really hope that you will treat kings better than the poor? — No, Sire, it’s impossible. - And why ? — Because I take care of the poor like kings...At that time, the Brotherhood of Saint-Côme, which had brought together barber-surgeons since the 13th century, had recently been transformed into a college of surgery.
