Abstract

This report describes the work of a surgical force of nature, one who changed and improved the practice of amputation, and who was heralded as a savior of the common soldier. Dominique Jean Larrey continues to have a strong influence on military surgeons, even today. He remains a great hero, a role model to the rest of us, and arguably the finest military surgeon to have ever lived.
