Albarran was a French urologist who made significant contributions to the development of genitourinary surgery. He developed and described several methods of accessing the bladder and kidneys, which received his name and became widely used in medical practice.
Albarran was born in 1860 in Barcelona, Spain. He began his career as a physician in the early 20th century and quickly became known for his achievements in the field of urology. In 1902, he published his first paper describing a new method of accessing the bladder through the perineum. This method is called the “albarran incision” and has become one of the most common methods of accessing the bladder in the world.
In 1910, Albarran developed another method of accessing the kidneys - the “Albarran incision”. This method also became widespread and is still used today. Albarran died in 1912 at the age of 52 from tuberculosis.
The access methods developed by Albarran continue to be used in modern medicine and are the basis of many surgical operations on the genitourinary organs. His contributions to urology were significant and had a huge impact on the development of this field of medicine.
