Abstract
This article provides a brief biography of Dmitry Ivanovich Vyvodtsev, a renowned Russian surgeon and anatomist. Vyvodtsev’s work on postmortem embalming, including the embalming of Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov’s body, was widely recognized worldwide. His methods have remained relevant to this day. Additionally, Vyvodtsev’s research on the anatomy of the vascular system, particularly the lymphatic network in the lungs, is highly significant and interesting.
Keywords: D.I. Vyvodtsev, N.I. Pirogov’s embalming, lymphatic vessels of the lungs.
