A surgeon of great fame in his time, LeCat performed a spinal resection in 1751, invented or perfected several instruments for lithotomy, and established in 1736 in Rouen a school for anatomy and surgery. LeCat was an early advocate of the un ion of medicine and surgery. A Cartesian, he devised a "biomechanic notion of the organism as a hydraulic machine, wherein he drew an analogy between the animal economy and a system of pipes and tubes" [DSB] He opposed Haller's idea of irritability and s ensiblity, which he thought were merely mechanical effects. His main importance, according to Theodore Vetter in his DSB article, is as one of the first adherents of a mechanistic approach to physiology. See DSB VIII: 114-116.
