摘要

Andre Levret (1703-1780) was a distinguished obstetrician and surgeon who gained reputation in obstetrics by improving several medical instruments for assisting delivery and introducing a manipulation for breech delivery used in practice till nowadays, known also as "Mauriceau-Levret manoeuvre". Moreover, he proposed a new surgical approach for the treatment of uterine and cervical polyps; the use of ligatures to snare the polyp. He also devised an instrument to facilitate the placement of ligature and the removal of the polyp. His method became famous as the time of operation and the postoperative complications were diminished.
