Wilhelm Fabry, German Surgeon

Wilhelm Fabry (1560-1634 in Bern), often called the Father of German surgery, was the first educated and scientific German surgeon. He is one of the most prominent scholars in the iatromechanics (the medical application of physics) school and author of 20 medical books. His Observationum et Curationum Chirurgicarum Centuriae, published posthumously in 1641, is the best collection of case records of the century and gives clear insight into the variety and methods of his surgical practice
