Mathieu Jaboulay
Encyclopedia
Mathieu Jaboulay was a French surgeon
who was born in Saint-Genis-Laval
, which is a community in the department of Rhône. He studied and practiced medicine in Lyon
, where in 1902 he became a professor of clinical surgery. Two of his better known students at Lyon were Alexis Carrel
(1873-1944) and René Leriche
(1879-1955).
Jaboulay is remembered for his introduction of new surgical procedures, as well as his work involving techniques of vascular anastomosis
. In 1892 he introduced the side-to-side gastroduodenostomy
, which is an operation used when the pylorus
and proximal duodenum
are badly scarred, and in 1894 performed the first inter-ilio abdominal amputation
or hemipelvectomy
, which involves amputation of the entire leg through the sacroiliac joint
. This operation is sometimes referred to as "Jaboulay's amputation". He is credited with performing the first sympathectomic operation
for alleviation of vascular disease. This surgery is described in his treatise Chirurgie du grand sympathique et du corps thyroïde (Surgery of the sympathetic system
and thyroid gland), which is considered to be his best written work.
In 1906 Jaboulay made the first attempts at human kidney transplantation
, when he transplanted pig and goat kidney
s into patients suffering from chronic renal failure. Unfortunately, the operations were unsuccessful. His name is associated with "Jaboulay button", a device used for performing lateral intestinal anastomosis without the need of sutures.
