Abstract

Mathieu Jaboulay (1860-1913) was a professor of clinical surgery in Lyon, France who is best known for his development of vascular anastomosis and for conducting the first reported renal xenotransplantation experiments on humans, using pig and goat kidneys to treat end-stage renal failure in 1906. His insights and pioneering techniques contributed significantly to allotransplantation and contemporary attempts at xenotransplantation. He is also credited with inventing several surgical instruments and novel surgical techniques that continue to influence vascular, general, and urological surgery to this day. However, this article will focus specifically on his notable contributions to xenotransplantation research and surgery.

Keywords: Mathieu Jaboulay; kidney; pig; surgery; transplant; xenotransplantation.
