The 16th century physician was the first to describe the two slender tubes that carry ova from the ovaries to the uterus.

He was an Italian ana­tomist who first described the two slender tubes that allow the passage of the ova from the ovaries to the uterus - hence the name Fallopian tube.
The earl produced a sheath of stretched and oiled sheep's intestine (It is not established if the Earl of Condom was aware of Dr. Fallopius' invention a century earlier).
The sheaths invented by Fallopius and the earl of Condom were actually not intended as contraceptive devices but primarily as means of preventing the users from contracting venereal diseases which was considered as the scourge of libertines.

In 16th century Italy, Gabrielle Fallopius authored the first-known published description of prophylactic condom use.
Fallopius conducted trials among 1,100 men using a sheath made of linen; none of the men became infected with syphilis.
During this period, protection was also improved by soaking the cloth sheaths in a chemical solution and allowing them to dry prior to use — the first use of a spermicide on condoms.The condom’s usefulness in preventing pregnancy was recognized in the 1700s.

This Fallopius It is who dragged the Galen-idol down, Who rent the veil of flesh and forced a way Into the secret fortalice of life”— Yet it was I that bore the brunt of it!
At first, when Padua wrote: “Master, Fallopius dead, resume again The chair even he could not completely fill, And see what usury age shall take of youth In honours forfeited”—why, just at first, I was quite simply credulously glad To think the old life stood ajar for me, Like a fond woman’s unforgetting heart.
For Truth stays not to build her monument For this or that co-operating hand, But props it with her servants’ failures—nay, Cements its courses with their blood and brains, A living substance that shall clinch her walls Against the assaults of time.

 Cowardice or Caution?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
 Now it is gravely asserted that Fallopius committed himself to misleading views, views which he knew to be misleading, because he thought that he was thereby serving the interests of the Church.
 The accusation, however, is not that Fallopius made a mistake – as many another man has done – but that he deliberately expressed an opinion which he did not hold and did so from religious motives.
 There is no evidence whatever that Fallopius ever had so much as a suspicion of the real explanation, nor, it may be added, had any other man of science for the century which followed his death.

During his medical education he was a pupil of Fallopius, at Padua.
In 1565, he was appointed to the chair of surgery, and when the chair of anatomy became vacant at the death of Fallopius, he also assumed responsibility for instruction in anatomy.
His anatomical instruction as given to students appears to have ranged from periods of brilliancy to periods of indifference, insofar as his students were concerned.

In Italy, Gabrielle Fallopius claimed to have invented a sheath made of linen, and conducted trials amongst 1,100 men using the condom, none of whom became infected with Syphilis.
The condom appears next in cave paintings at Les Combarelles, in southern France, dated around 100 A.D. Farther east, the Chinese used oiled silk paper, and the Japanese had two forms of a condom: the Kawagata, which was made of thin leather, and Kabutogata, which was made of thin tortoise shells or horns.
They were actually used to prevent the spread of venereal diseases, syphilis in particular Though Fallopius claimed more than a thousand successful trials as proof of his invention's effectiveness, it evidently rubbed users the wrong way.

Bell palsy is thought to account for approximately 60-75% of cases of acute unilateral facial paralysis.
In 1550, Fallopius noted the narrow lumen in the temporal bone through which a part of the seventh cranial nerve passes.
In 1828, Charles Bell made the distinction between the fifth and seventh cranial nerves; he noted that the seventh nerve was involved mainly in the motor function of the face and the fifth nerve was concerned mainly with the sensory perception of the face.
