GuideChirurgie.fr is written and edited by Guillaume Velé , who is not a healthcare professional. Some sections are reviewed by surgeons , each in their respective specialty.

Guillaume Velé, editor and publisher of the website
The content on GuideChirurgie.fr is written by Guillaume Velé , the site's editorial manager, a specialist in digital communication within the medical field for the past five years. He works daily with surgeons who review certain sections of the site: he is regularly present in the operating room and during consultations alongside them, co-creates educational video content for their networks, and engages in ongoing discussions about surgical practices and current events. This immersion in the reality of the surgical process, combined with systematic institutional research, informs the guides published here. The site also collaborates with the Trémoille Aesthetic Center (Paris 8th arrondissement). Guillaume Velé is not a healthcare professional: the content remains general information and should never replace medical advice.
