One of the leading surgeons of the innovative Parisian Medical School, he was the first to perform in France the procedure of total abdominal hysterectomy by median section of the uterus, contributing to the evolution of cancer surgery. ~ "This is a treatise on a subject in which the method of treatment is still under discussion. According to Faure, there are more cures of cancer of the uterus by surgery than by radium, and the former antedate the latter by a considerable length of time. The section on pathology is excellent, especially as to the manner of extension outward's of the disease and the illustrations here are exceedingly good. He emphasizes the tardy appearance of the symptoms of this condition which are only seen when the local process is well advanced and enlarges on the fact that pain is absent in the beginning. The section on treatment is the most important in this book. Faure says that it should be surgical when the uterus is movable and that radium should be used in the non-operable cases. He goes into great detail in giving the technic of radium treatment. He mentions the use of radium in order to reduce hemorrhage in the non-operable cases and says that he has seen a few inoperable cases made operable by the use of radium. The description of the operative technic, as perfected by the author, is excellent and accompanied by a mass of very good illustrations and diagrams. This description includes abdominal panhysterectomy and his so-called vagino-perineal operation. He is ardent of the Mikulicz tampon." - J. Pierre Hoguet (NCBI). With remarkable illustrations indeed.
