| Description |
Polish born surgeon Fedor Krause (1857-1937) is often referred to as the 'Father of German Neurosurgery'. Krause introduced operations to treat epilepsy in Germany, performing 400 operations on epileptic patients during his career. He developed a number of surgical techniques involving tumors of the brain and spinal cord (the Hartley-Krause operation is named after Krause and Frank Hartley), and contributed to work on the neurosurgical implications of morphine-chloroform anaesthesia. Krause also made significant contributions to plastic and reconstructive surgery, including transplantation of skin flaps. . |
