Dr Jean Claude Guimberteau is a Plastic and Hand surgeon, and co-founder and scientific director of the Institut Aquitain de la Main in 1980. He is a member of the French Hand Society (GEM), past President 2012 of the French Plastic and reconstructive surgery society (SOFCPRE), and a member of the French Academy of Surgery.
Past general secretary of the FESUM (2007-2011) (Fédération des services Urgences Mains -Hand trauma society), he has been a member of the Health Service High Authority 2007-2010.
He was trained in the Hand and Plastic Department of the Bordeaux University (Dr AJM. Goumain and Pr J. Baudet). During this surgical training, he was one of the pioneers in microsurgery and transplantations. He spent 6 months (1976) as fellow with Pr J.M. Converse in New York (USA) and Pr R. Millard in Miami (USA). He introduced innovative concepts in hand anatomy, physiology and secondary flexor tendon repair. He has been supported many years by Pr Cl Verdan and Pr H.E. Kleinert.
Dr Guimberteau is a pioneer in endoscopy exploration of the tissular organization of the human body. Director and Producer of many videos on living matter, he has developed a new concept on living tissues and proposed a new ontology for human interior architectures.

New Perspectives on the Organization of Living Tissue and the Ongoing Connective Tissue/Fascia Nomenclature Debate, as Revealed by Intra-Tissue Endoscopy That Provides Real-Time Images During Surgical Procedures
Intra-tissue endoscopy, providing real-time images at all scales, from macroscopic to microscopic, from inside living tissue during surgical procedures, has revealed the existence of a body-wide fibrillar architecture that extends from the surface of the skin to the cell. Different types of cells are housed within this fibrillar architecture and gather together to carry out…
