Biografia de Rudolf Nissenuno de los cirujanos mas relevantes del siglo xx

Zusammenfassung

Rudolf Nissen is recognized as one of the most relevant surgeons of the 20th century. His main contribution is considered to be the so-called fundoplication technique for the treatment of hiatal hernia, although he performed others that have not had such scientific relevance. He has also been remembered as the surgeon who surgically treated Albert Einstein of his abdominal aortic aneurysm, using a technique that was not effective in coating with cellophane film. Rudolf Nissen began his training and work in Germany by joining the prestigious surgeon Sauerbruch as an assistant, and later moved to Turkey, promoting the development of surgery in this country, emigrating later to the United States working initially in Boston and later in New York and return to Europe exactly to Basel to complete his professional career. His Jewish origins conditioned his life, especially having had to emigrate from Germany and his subsequent relationship with hospitals related to this religious community
