[Jean Vaysse (1917-1975)].
Jean Vaysse (1917-1975) participated during the 1950s et '60s in the great discoveries of modern surgery: renal grafts, cardiopulmonary bypasses, and surgery for arterial hypertension. He died prematurely. To right this injustice, to reveal the man out of the spotlight of hospital and university success stories though all the while participating decisively in some of surgery's greats movements, to find, above the pioneer, the questioning of the meaning of life, the nature of being and the knowledge of its private side: these are our intentions as we consider the life and work of Jean Vaysse.
