'''Marie Colinet''' (c. 1560 – c. 1640) was a pioneering Swiss midwife and surgeon known for her significant contributions to the fields of [[obstetrics]] and [[surgery]]. She is particularly noted for her innovative techniques in [[caesarean section]] and the use of [[anesthesia]] in surgical procedures.

== Early Life and Education ==
Marie Colinet was born around 1560 in [[Geneva]], Switzerland. Little is known about her early life and education, but it is believed that she received training in midwifery and surgery, possibly through apprenticeship, as formal medical education for women was not available at the time.

== Career and Contributions ==
Colinet's career was marked by her work as a midwife and surgeon in Germany, where she moved after marrying Wilhelm Fabry, a prominent German surgeon. Together, they worked in several cities, including [[Cologne]] and [[Bern]].

=== Innovations in Obstetrics ===
Marie Colinet is credited with performing one of the earliest recorded successful [[caesarean sections]] in which both the mother and child survived. This was a groundbreaking achievement at a time when such procedures were rarely successful. Her approach to the caesarean section involved careful surgical techniques and post-operative care, which were advanced for her time.

=== Use of Anesthesia ===
Colinet is also noted for her early use of [[anesthesia]] in surgical procedures. She utilized a form of [[ether]] to alleviate pain during operations, which was a significant advancement in surgical practice. This innovation helped pave the way for the development of modern anesthetic techniques.

== Legacy ==
Marie Colinet's contributions to medicine, particularly in the fields of obstetrics and surgery, have been recognized as pioneering. Her work laid the foundation for future advancements in these areas and highlighted the important role of women in the history of medicine.
