Henri François le Dran (1685-1770) remains famous for having perfected the methods and instruments for lithotomies, which consisted in reducing urinary stones to pieces in order to evacuate them from the bladder.

Followed by the "Continuation of the Parallel of the different ways of extracting the stone which is in the urinary bladder", Paris, Veuve Delaguette, 1756

The 6th plate of the first booklet (bearing the date 1749) comes, as we sometimes see, supplementing the original edition a posteriori.
