title: [Development of the surgical school of Lorraine, 1872-1919].
abstract: Shortly after the 1870-1871 war between France and Prussia, the Faculty of Medicine of Strasbourg was transferred to Nancy. Few works were dedicated to the surgeons of this new school of Medicine, most of them alsatian at its beginning. Yet the surgeons played an important role in the technical success and certainly management of the Faculty as A. Heydenreich and especially F. Gross, who were the most wellknown Deans in Nancy, during this period. So the new Faculty of Nancy trained many surgeons who took a big place in the Military health Service of the French Army during the 1914-1918 war which ended the first third of the story of this Surgery school.
