	Theodor Billroth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Christian Albert Theodor Billroth (born 26 August 1829 in Bergen auf Rügen, Germany; died 6 February 1894 in Opatija, Austria-Hungary, now Croatia), a German-born Austrian surgeon, is generally regarded as the founding father of modern abdominal surgery.
		He was apprenticed to Carl von Langenbuch and practiced surgery at Vienna, as chief of the Second Surgical Clinic at the Allgemeine Krankenhaus (Vienna General Hospital) and professor of surgery at the University of Vienna.
		Billroth was also instrumental in establishing the first modern "school of thought" in surgery, and among his disciples were counted luminaries such as Alexander von Winiwarter and Jan Mikulicz-Radecki.

		Without the pioneering spirit of a Theodor Billroth or a Hugh Hampton Young, who adapted their prostatectomies for malignancies, men with early tumors could not choose surgery as a treatment.
		In fact, before Walsh debuted his revolutionary nerve-sparing radical prostatatectomy in 1982, prostate cancer sufferers faced an unenviable choice: Undergo surgical removal of the gland and surrounding tissue but risk incontinence and impotence, or choose a treatment that spared the complications but didn't necessarily remove the disease completely.
		Vienna's Billroth boldly ventured into taboo areas when attempting the first radical perineal prostatectomy for cancer in 1867, entering through an incision in the perineum, between the rectum and scrotum.
