[Charles Phillips (1811-1870), a famous urologist, born in Liege, and yet unknown in that city].
Charles Phillips was born in Liege at the beginning of the XIXth century. In that city, he studied medicine and, later, lectured, during a few years, initially, at the School of Medicine, and, later, at the School of Veterinary Medicine. Having trained in several European centres, he settled in Paris where he soon became a well-known urologist. Remarkably intelligent and inventive, he was also a great medical artist; he produced some wonderful books and invented several devices that are still in use to-day in basic urology. Surprisingly, his name is almost unknown nowadays in his city of origin.
