About Bernhard Bardenheuer
- Bernhard Bardenheuer (July 12, 1839, Lamersdorf – August 13, 1913) was a German surgeon. In 1864 he received his doctorate from Berlin, where he studied under Bernhard von Langenbeck (1810-1887).
- In 1865 he began work as an assistant to Karl Busch (1826-1881) at the surgical clinic at the University of Bonn, afterwards relocating to Heidelberg, where he worked under ophthalmologist Otto Becker (1828-1893) and surgeon Gustav Simon (1824-1876).
- During the Franco-Prussian War he served in a sick bay at a garrison in Heidelberg. From 1872 he was a hospital surgeon in Köln, where in 1875 he introduced Listerian antisepsis.
- In 1884 he received the title of professor, even though he was not a member on any university's academic staff. Bardenheuer specialized in genitourinary surgery, and in 1887 performed the first complete cystectomy.
- This operation involved a patient who was suffering from an advanced bladder tumour that affected both ureters.
- The patient died two weeks after the surgery from uremia and hydronephrosis — nevertheless, Bardenheuer was able to prove the technical workability of the surgery.
- In 1889 Austrian gynecologist Karl Pawlik performed a successful cystectomy on a patient suffering from papillomatosis of the bladder.In 1909 he performed an autogenous bone graft of the mandible, a procedure that involved replacement of a mandibular condyle with a patient's 4th metatarsal.
- The "Bardenheuer incision" is named after him, which is a surgical incision used for operative treatment of mastitis.
- In German medical literature it is referred to as Bardenheuer-Schnitt (Bardenheuer cut) or Bardenheuer-Bogenschnitt (Bardenheuer arc cut).
