Guillaume Dupuytren operating on a cataract. Baron Guillaume Dupuytren (October 5, 1777 - February 8, 1835) was a French anatomist and military surgeon. Although he gained much esteem for treating Napoleon Bonaparte's hemorrhoids, he is best known today for his description of Dupuytren's contracture which is named after him and which he first operated on in 1831 and published in The Lancet in 1834. He died in 1835 at the age of 57. No artist credited, undated.
