Abstract

Ambroise Paré (1510–20 December 1590) was a French barber-surgeon who served in that role for Kings Henry II, Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III. Ambroise Paré is considered one of the fathers of surgery and modern forensic pathology; a pioneer in surgical techniques and battlefield medicine, especially in the treatment of wounds. He was also an anatomist and invented several surgical instruments.
