Abstract
The articIe anaIyzes the scientific and practicaI activities of the prominent French urologist Professor Joachim Albarran (1860-1912). It is noted that a student of the founder of French uroIogy F. Guyon I. Albarran in 1906 was elected in his place Professor of urology and head of the Department of the Necker hospitaI (HopitaI Necker) in Paris. It is shown that in 1891 he published a work on bladder tumors, creating a new progressive classification of them. This paper presents well-known monographs by I. Albarran on the mechanism of origin ofhydronephrosis, tubercuIosis, and kidney tumors. He deveIoped a method for studying the functionaI activity of the kidneys and proposed the method of «experimental polyuria» (1905). It is also noted that I. Albarran invented the catheterization cystoscope and this made ureteraI catheterization a method widely available in practical surgery. I. Albarran’s extensive operational experience was described in his manual of operative surgery of the urinary tract (1909), which stiII has not Iost its vaIue. I. AIbarran created a briIIiant scientific schooI, from which came a whoIe gaIaxy of outstanding cIinicians and uroIogists.
