[Contribution of Etienne-Frederic Bouisson (1813-1884) to the surgical treatment of hypospadias].
Professor Bouisson was a great surgeon and benefactor of medicine. He exercised successfully the functions of dean, rector and deputy. A great part of his surgical work deal with pediatric urology. Bouisson's dissertation on surgical treatment of hypospadias constitute a crucial turning-point in the history of treatment of this malformation.
