Charles-Emmanuel Sédillot
Charles-Emmanuel Sédillot (1869)
Charles-Emmanuel Sédillot (18 September 1804 – 29 January 1883) was a French military physician and surgeon. He was the son of orientalist Jean Jacques Emmanuel Sédillot (1777–1832), and an older brother to historian Louis-Pierre-Eugène Sédillot.
Born in Paris, he studied surgery under Alexis Boyer and Philibert Joseph Roux. In 1836 he became professor of operative surgery at Val-de-Grâce, followed by a professorship at Strasbourg five years later.[1]
Sedillot was a pioneer of urethrotomic and gastrotomic operations, and known for his work with dislocations and his treatment of pyaemia.[1][2] He is credited with coining the term "microbe" (from micros "small" and bios "life").[3]
