Ibn Zuhr (Arabic: أبو مروان عبد الملك بن زهر‎) (also known as Avenzoar) one of the greatest Muslim physicians of the Western Caliphate, carefully described (but did not perform) lithotomy. Apparently he is the first to mention a lithotrite. In his book The Assistance, Avenzoar suggests a particular treatment for kidney stones.

He was one of the greatest physicians and clinicians of the Muslim golden era and has rather been held by some historians of science as the greatest of them. Contrary to the general practice of the Muslim scholars of that era, he confined his work to only one field medicine. This enabled him to produce works of everlasting fame. Some of his contemporaries called him as the greatest physician since Galen.

Abu Marwan Abd al-Malik Ibn Zuhr was born at Seville in 1091/c. 1094 C.E. After completing his education and specializing in medicine, he entered the service of Almoravides (Al-Murabatun), but after their defeat by the Al-Mohades (Al-Muwahadun), he served under 'Abd al-Mu'min, the first Muwahid ruler. He died in Seville in 1161/c. 1162 C.E. As confirmed by George Sarton, he was not a Jew, but an orthodox Muslim.

Ibn Zuhr one of medieval Islam's foremost thinkers and the greatest medical clinician of the western caliphate. An intensely practical man, Ibn Zuhr disliked medical speculation; for that reason, he opposed the teachings of the Persian master physician Avicenna.
