Eugène Koeberlé Explained
Eugène Koeberlé (4 January 1828, Sélestat - 13 June 1915, Strasbourg) was a French and German surgeon to the Faculté de médecine in Strasbourg, earning his agrégation in 1853.[1]
Koeberlé specialized in abdominal surgery, in particular pioneer work involving ovariotomy and [2] hysterectomy operations.[3] [4] He is also credited for developing a precursor of present-day surgical hemostats[5]
During the latter part of his career he devoted his energies to poetry and archaeology.[6] The Lycée Docteur-Koeberlé in his hometown of Sélestat is named in his honour.
