Nicolas Puzos (1686-1753) was a famous french obstetrician in Paris during the 18th century. Puzos wrote many notes which were assembled in a book after his death by Morisot-Deslandes: "Traité des Accouchements de M. Puzos", published in 1759. Puzos was the first to advocate rupture and tearing of the membranes in the treatment of haemorrhage brought about by placenta praevia partialis or marginalis. This "Puzos' method" as it is even now sometimes called in France, was aimed to replace "accouchement forcé" followed by version and was discussed by Leroux of Dijon who advocated the vaginal pack or tamponade. The "Puzos' method" was adopted until the current use of cesarean section. - BMN 337.€ 200
