Pierre Bouchet (6 January 1752 – 6 January 1794) was a French physician born in Lyon.
He was trained in medicine in Paris as Pierre-Joseph Desault's pupil then came home in Lyon Hôtel-Dieu where he became Head Surgeon.[1]
He was the first in France to modify then use a knotted-string snare device to ligate and remove uterus and vagina polyps.[2]
He also practiced internal necrosis surgery and tibia drilling.
His son, Claude-Antoine Bouchet, was the first, in France, to ligate external iliac artery to cure groin aneurysm.[3]
Pierre Bouchet was always kind and good-hearted, so that his fellow citizens held him in the highest regard and esteem.[2] He suffered a stroke and died under arrest[3] on 1794 physically and psychologically exhausted by the Revolutionary armies siege of Lyon after the Revolt of the city against the National Convention.
