Jean Casimir Félix Guyon
Jean Casimir Félix Guyon (born July 21, 1831 in Saint-Denis (Réunion) , † August 2, 1920 in Paris ) was a French surgeon and urologist.
Life
Félix Guyon studied in Nantes and Paris, where he received his doctorate in 1858. In 1863 he worked as Agrégé . In 1877 he became a professor of surgical pathology. Among other things, he dealt with gynecology and venereology . After he had already dealt with urological questions around 1880, he became professor for the clinic of the urinary apparatus in 1890 and is thus considered a pioneer of modern urology. He held the first chair in urology in France, co-founded the Association internationale d'urologie and since 1856 a member of the Académie des sciences . Some anatomical structures bear his name, for example the so-called Guyon lodge (Loge de Guyon; see also Loge de Guyon syndrome ), a canal on the flexor side of the hand that contains the elbow nerve and the elbow vessels.
