François Gigot de la Peyronie

François Gigot de la Peyronie , also François de Lapeyronie (born January 15, 1678 in Montpellier , † April 25, 1747 in Versailles ), was a French surgeon.

Live and act

As the son of a surgeon, he first attended a Jesuit school in Montpellier, one of the most important university cities in France, then studied philosophy for two years and then trained as a surgeon. He graduated with a master's degree in surgery when he was only 17. In Paris he studied further with Georges Mareschal (1658–1736), the first surgeon at the Hôtel-Dieu de Paris .

He then taught anatomy and surgery in Montpellier, worked as a surgeon and became a demonstrator at the medical faculty. As a member of the Société royale des Sciences de Montpellier , he created a reputation as an important surgeon in the army of Claude-Louis-Hector de Villars from 1704 , so that Louis XV. finally called to Paris in 1714.

1717 he was by Louis XV. named as the successor to Mareschal as the first surgeon, and took up his post with his death in 1736. In 1721 he was ennobled.

In 1743 he was the first to describe the Induratio penis plastica (the maladie de La Peyronie )
