    AbstractJobert de Lamballe was a famous French surgeon who lived from 1830 to 1867. Born at Matignon, in France, (Cotes d'Armor country) in a poor family, he became Clinical Surgery Professor at Paris Faculte de Medecine and was known throughout the world for his works about intestinal suturing which, today, is remaining the visceral surgery basis. He was also acknowledged as the originator of plastic surgery, chiefly for the slipping flap regarding to vesico-vaginal fistulas which, before him were assessed as incurable. His success brought him fame and fortune in France, Europa and the U.S.A. Finally, he was the first in Europa to bring general anaesthesia into his hospital (December 1846). Remarkable surgeon in Saint-Louis and Hotel-Dieu Paris hospitals, he was, also, known for his surgical animal's experimentation, but he was a mediocre speaker. He was King Louis-Philippe and Napoleon III's surgeon till his death on April the 19th, 1867, at Dr. Blanche's Clinic for mental diseases after he was falling into a painful depression.
