John Lizars (c. 1787 – 21 May 1860) was a Scottish surgeon and anatomist. He was professor of surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and senior surgeon at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. He performed the first ovariotomy in Britain in 1825. One of his pupils was Charles Darwin. Besides authoring an early work on the dangers of tobacco, ''The Use and Abuse of Tobacco'', Lizars published a number of important and beautifully illustrated anatomical texts in the early nineteenth century. ==Life== The son of Daniel Lizars, a publisher, he was born at Edinburgh about 1787, brother to William Home Lizars and to Jane Home who married Sir William Jardine. He was educated at Royal High School and Edinburgh University, and having obtained his medical diploma by 1810, he acted as surgeon on board a man-of-war commanded by Admiral Sir Charles Napier, and saw active service on the Portuguese coast, during the Peninsular War,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Entry )〕 under Lord Exmouth. Returning to Edinburgh in 1815, he was admitted a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of that city, and became a partner with John Bell, his old medical tutor, and Robert Allan. He was successful, first in partnership and afterwards alone, as a teacher of anatomy and surgery, and in 1831 was appointed to succeed John Turner as professor of surgery in the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh. With this appointment he combined that of senior operating surgeon of the Royal Infirmary, where Robert Liston was his colleague. Lizars introduced into surgery the operation for the removal of the upper jaw, and his name survived in the "Lizars lines". In the 1830s he is listed as living at 38 York Place in Edinburgh's New Town.〔http://digital.nls.uk/directories/browse/pageturner.cfm?id=83400915&mode=transcription〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Lizars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
