Antoine-Joseph Jobert de Lamballe
Antoine-Joseph Jobert de Lamballe (born December 17, 1799 in Matignon , † April 19, 1867 in Passy ) was a French surgeon.
Life
Jobert de Lamballe was actually called Antoine-Joseph Jobert, also known as de Lamballe. He came from a poor background, but thanks to the support of well-meaning patrons (an Abbé bequeathed him a small sum of money), he studied medicine in Paris, and at the age of 22 became an intern at the Hôpital Saint-Louis . In 1827 he became an anatomist assistant, in 1828 he received his doctorate and in 1830 the agrégation. In 1831 he became a surgeon at the Saint-Louis Hospital. However, he was hindered in his career because he was a poor speaker - he was passed over several times in major chairs, despite his outstanding skills and reputation as a surgeon. From 1854 he was at the Hôtel-Dieu in Paris, where he also held a professorship. Towards the end of his life he fell into depression and was admitted to a mental hospital, where he died.
He was best known as a master of autoplastic surgery and developed a successful surgical method for bladder vaginal fistulas. These were a frequent consequence of the awkward obstetric methods used at the time and, in addition to the direct consequences, often led to social exclusion of the women concerned, also within their families. The surgical method he developed, on the other hand, brought him recognition and prosperity throughout Europe and beyond. A German student was Gustav Simon , who brought his method to Germany. He is also known as the pioneer of anesthesia (1846).
Jobert de Lambelle was the surgeon to Louis-Philippe I (1831), Napoleon III. and Empress Eugènie (from 1858). In 1840 he was accepted into the Académie nationale de médecine and in 1856 into the Académie des sciences . In 1853 he was elected to the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina . In English, a depression above the knee is named after him (Jobert's Fossa).
