Félix Legueu

Félix Legueu was a French urologist and gynecologist born in Angers.

Biography

Legueu was a clinical professor in Paris, a surgeon at Hôpital Necker and a member of the Académie [de Médecine].
He specialized in genitourinary disorders. In 1913 he described a procedure for the closure of a vesicovaginal fistula, an abnormal passageway between the bladder and the vagina. That operation, today called the "Dittel-Forgue-Legueu operation", is also named after Drs. Leopold [Ritter von Dittel|Leopold von Dittel] and Émile Forgue.
A few surgical instruments bear Legueu's name, such as the "Legueu bladder retractor" and the "Legueu bladder spatula".
Legueu died in his home from carbon monoxide poisoning.
