André Levret
Levret is considered by many the most influential figure in 18th century French obstetrics. He was honored for his rational approach to obstetrical operations which he described in his book L'art des Accouchements. He published several other works in obstetrics and attracted students from all over Europe. He is remembered for his work concerning breech maneuvers and Caesarean sections. He also improved the birth forceps by modifying the "pelvic curve" of the instruments' blades. Additional recommended knowledgeThe classical procedure for assisted breech delivery was once called the "Mauriceau-Levret manipulation", named after Levret and physician François Mauriceau (1637-1709). This procedure was also referred to as "Lachapelle’s manoeuvre", named after midwife Marie-Louise Lachapelle (1769-1821).[1] References
