[Germain Pichaut de Lamartinière. Eulogy presented to the Royal Academy of Surgery during the public session on April 22, 1784].

G. Pichaut de Lamartinière (1696-1783) accompanied the king during his campaigns and, in 1747, then succeeded La Peyronie as first surgeon to the king and President of the Royal Academy of Surgery. "He devoted his talent as an organizer in favour of surgeons. He did everything to proclaim the independence of surgery and to protect it from the tyranny of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris". He did not leave behind any scientific or academic works.
