Many of the practices of modern urology are based upon Guyon's contributions to urological knowledge. He is mnemonically remembered in the terms Guyon's amputation (amputation of the foot at the ankle) and Guyon's sign (the ballottement and palpation of a floating kidney). This exhaustive work covers the entire field of genitourinary surgery in both sexes. Many of the lectures in the book had already appeared in Annales des maladies des organes génito-urinaires. The treatise was compiled and edited by Firmin P. Guiard (1852-1920), one of Guyon's students.
