Jean Zuléma Amussat

Jean Zuléma Amussat (21 November 1796 – 13 May 1856) was a French surgeon.

He became a renowned physician whose primary contributions were in the field of genitourinary surgery.

He was also an early practitioner of lithotripsy, which was a "minimally invasive" surgery to crush stones inside the bladder via the urethra.

This operation necessitated use of a recently invented device known as a lithotrite.
