title: [Army surgeons and natal artery, a long connection: on the biography of Paul-Athanase Champenois].
abstract: Very frequently quoted in surgical medicine treaties, Champenois, a brilliant military surgeon associated his name to the technique used to control trauma hemorrhages of the superior gluteal artery. Even though current advances have made checking of the internal iliac artery easy, this surgeon's princeps document in 1871 deserves to be known and considered as a model. The authors review the highlights of this medical officer's military career made of overseas campaigns alternating with excellent scientific publications which can serve as examples.
