This bio-bibliography of Víctor Armand Ugón, written by Jorge Nin Vivó, one of his most distinguished disciples, is a refined study of a master of thoracic surgery in Uruguay, who early on extended its scope beyond the classic interventions for treating hydatid or tuberculous pathologies. It traces the origins of his family, founded by a Waldensian pastor in the department of Colonia, his academic training, and his contributions. The result of extensive research, including background information, iconography, and interviews, it presents his career in surgery and his connections with leading international figures of the time. It delves into anecdotes from his personal and family life, his university activities, and his social, scientific, and political ties. It provides a comprehensive bibliography with detailed commentary on each of his contributions.
This biography of Víctor Armand Ugón was published by Jorge Nin Vivó as the product of over thirty years of research.
