Abstract

RODRIGUEZ-PEREZ, Martha E.; SANDOVAL-OLVERA, Federico  and  HERNANDEZ-SALINAS, Horacio. Jean Dominique Larrey and his recognition in Mexico. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.3, pp.389-394.  Epub Nov 15, 2021. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.19000870.

The figure of Jean Dominique Larrey, military surgeon who participated in the Napoleonic wars, is analyzed. The objectives of the study are to highlight their contributions, including the creation of ambulances that allowed the injured to be given prompt assistance. Also note the post-mortem recognition that Larrey had in Mexico through an academic group founded by the surgeon Francisco Montes de Oca y Saucedo. The facts cited show the progress of military surgery, its institutionalization and professionalization as well as the communication and updating of knowledge in one and another continent.

Keywords : Larrey; Military surgery; Ambulances; Scientific societies.
