François MauriceauFrançois Mauriceau (1637 - October 17, 1709) was a French obstetrician from Paris. He received his training in obstetrics at the Hôtel-Dieu. Additional recommended knowledgeMauriceau was a leading obstetrician in 17th century Europe. He is remembered for publishing in 1668, Traité des Maladies des Femmes Grosses et Accouchées, a book that established obstetrics as a science, and was later translated into several languages. He is also known for development of a classical maneuvre of assisted breech delivery. He was the first physician to describe tubal pregnancy, and with German midwife Justine Siegmundin 1650-1705), Mauriceau is credited for introducing the practice of puncturing the amniotic sac to arrest bleeding in placenta praevia. In the early 18th century, English obstetrician Hugh Chamberlen tried to sell the "secret" of a specialized obstetrical forceps to Mauriceau. Mauriceau became disgusted that the Chamberlen family would keep such an important development a secret, and accused the Chamberlens of common swindling.[1] ReferencesWho Named It?, François Mauriceau |
