Jaques-Louis Reverdin

Jaques-Louis Reverdin (28 August 1842 – 9 January 1929) was a Swiss surgeon who was a native of Cologny.

In 1869 he became an assistant to Jean Casimir Félix Guyon (1831–1920) in the surgical department at the Hôpital Necker in Paris.

[2] The eponymous "Reverdin graft", also known as a "pinch graft", is a procedure for removing tiny pieces of skin from a healthy area of the body and seeding them in a location that needs to be covered.

[4] In 1882, with his cousin[5] and assistant Auguste Reverdin (1848–1908), he observed that myxedema occurred as a delayed complication when the thyroid gland is surgically removed.

He documented his findings in an article titled Note sur vingt-deux opérations de goitre.
