Guillaume Dupuytren

Baron Guillaume Dupuytren (French: [gijom dyp?it??~]; 5 October 1777 – 8 February 1835) was a French anatomist and military surgeon. Although he gained much esteem for treating Napoleon Bonaparte's hemorrhoids, he is best known today for his description of Dupuytren's contracture which is named after him and on which he first operated in 1831 and published—in The Lancet, in 1834.
