Sauveur François Morand

Sauveur François Morand (1697–1773)

Sauveur François Morand (2 April 1697, Paris – 21 July 1773) was a French surgeon.

Biography

In 1724, he became a demonstrator of surgery at the Jardin du Roi in Paris, followed by service as censeur royal and a surgeon at the Hôpital de la Charité (from 1730). He was later appointed surgeon-major of the Régiment des Gardes françaises (1739) and chief-surgeon at the Hôtel des Invalides.[1][2]

He was a founding member of the Académie de chirurgie (1731),[2][3] and a member of numerous learned societies in Europe.[4] In 1725 he was elected as a member of the Académie Royale des Sciences.[1]

In 1729, while visiting St. Thomas's Hospital in London, he had the opportunity to learn William Cheselden's new procedure for stone cut, the lateral perineal lithotomy, a procedure that involved filling the bladder with water.[2] Whilst in England he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.[5]

In a 1766 treatise titled, "Sur un enfant auquel il manquoit les deux clavicules", etc., he was the first physician to describe cleidocranial dysostosis.[6]

Family

He was son of Jean Morand (1659-1726), who served as chief surgeon at the Hôtel des Invalides, and the son-in-law of Georges Maréchal, first surgeon to Louis XIV and then to Louis XV. His son, Jean François-Clément Morand (1726-1784) taught classes in anatomy and obstetrics.[2]
