- Joseph Constantine Carpue
Joseph Constantine Carpue (May 4, 1764–January 30, 1846) was an English surgeon who was born in London. He was associated with St. George's Hospital and Duke of York Hospital in Chelsea. He was a skilled surgeon and popular lecturer of anatomy.
Carpue is known for performing the first rhinoplastic surgery in England, using a technique created in India several centuries earlier. The Indian rhinoplastic reconstruction involved using a flap of skin taken from the forehead, and was to become known in Europe as Carpue's operation. In 1816 Carpue described the procedure in his publication of "Account of Two Successful Operations for Restoring a Lost Nose from the Integument of the Forehead".
Carpue was also a pioneer involving experimentation with electricity in medicine, which he details in his treatise of "An Introduction to Electricity and Galvanism, with Cases showing their Effects in the Cure of Disease".
