About Joseph Récamier
- Joseph-Claude-Anthelme Récamier (6 November 1774 – 28 June 1852) was a French gynecologist. He was born in Cressin-Rochefort, Ain.
- For much of his professional career he was associated with the Hôtel-Dieu de Paris, where in 1806 he became chief physician.
- He was also a professor at the Collège de France and a member of the Faculté de médecine. Récamier is credited with the popularization of several instruments in gynecological medicine, including the curette, vaginal speculum and the uterine sound.
- In his 1829 treatise Recherches sur le traitement du cancer, he coined the term "metastasis" as a definition for the spread of cancer. "Récamier's operation" is a term used for curettage of the uterus.
