'stomach.BiographyHenry Delagenière was born in Paris on April 30, 1858, to Hippolyte Delagenière, architect, and Louisa de La Ramée de Séprée.Her surgical vocation was born at the age of 9, during a neighbor's cancer operation.He began his studies at the Angers high school where his father retired after the war of 1870. The latter made him take carpentry courses to prepare him for the manual aspect of the profession which attracted him.Received a bachelor's degree in science in August 1879, he became an extern at the Angers hospitals in February 1880, then an intern on December 8 of the same year, before becoming a prosector at the Angers school in December 1881.He then continued his studies in Paris where, in 1885, he became an intern in Paris hospitals. During his second year of residency, he was the intern at Just Lucas-Championnière with whom he formed a strong friendship, and from whom he learned the latest aseptic techniques. He will be very influenced by Professor Félix Terrier during his fourth year of residency. Terrier, in fact, dreamed of a “surgical decentralization” which would bring to the provinces the benefits of surgery previously reserved only for Parisians, Lyonnais and Montpellier residents1.Enthusiastic by this idea, Henry Delagenière moved to Le Mans at the end of his internship in 1890. This city does not have a medical faculty, nor large health centers, thus allowing a provincial population to have access to care other than that provided until now, namely that of health officers, or even healers2.In 1891, he married Alice Petinicolas who gave him three children.It was in Le Mans that he created the clinique which today bears his name, rue Henry-Delagenière. Initially consisting of eight rooms in the premises of a religious community, it quickly expanded and, in 1892, Delagenière built a building with thirty beds and two operating rooms. Denigrated by the surgeons of the university towns, he created with other young surgeons established in the provinces (Témoin in Bourges, Montprofit in Angers, Maunoury in Chartres...) the Provincial Archives of Surgery, which ultimately met with great success and participated to the reputation of French surgery abroad.At this same time, he joined the congress of the French Association of Surgery, and the editorial board of the Journal of Medicine and Practical Surgery (founded by Lucas-Championnière); these are all ways of making one’s work known.Focusing initially on gynecology and pleuropulmonary surgery during his first decade of practice, his practice extended to liver surgery (the subject of his thesis in 1890). He subsequently studied surgery of the digestive tract, and in particular that of the stomach.His work took him to the dawn of the First World War. Marked by the memory of 1870 and worried by the presence of his son Yves at the front as an auxiliary infantry doctor, he devoted his work to treating war wounds, and in particular to repairing broken mouths disfigured by bullets and the shells. He had the idea of applying a procedure previously intended for arms and legs: osteoperiosteal grafting. This involves removing part of the upper layer of the tibia, the periosteum, in order to apply it to the face of the war wounded.After carrying out his last projects to expand his clinique , he died of a cerebral hemorrhage on September 30, 1930. He is buried in the Père-Lachaise3 cemetery, in Paris.Works In gynecological surgery, Henry Delagenière was the very first to use inclined tables, adapted from the Trendelenburg position. In 1898 he published a work on uterine surgery, which was awarded the Laborie prize (awarded to the work having made the most progress in surgery). He is the author of a subtotal abdominal hysterectomy technique4. In pleuropulmonary surgery, he developed the surgical pneumothorax technique, replacing a much more complicated technique that was the Sauerbruch overpressure method. He is the author of a lower thoracoplasty technique4. In liver surgery, he published in 1He then continued his studies in Paris where, in 1885, he became an intern in Paris hospitals. During his second year of residency, he was the intern at Just Lucas-Championnière with whom he formed a strong friendship, and from whom he learned the latest aseptic techniques.
