power

By 1933, German pediatric surgery had played a leading role in an international comparison. The scientific isolation during National Socialism and the almost complete destruction of the Hauner Children's Hospital defined the new tasks of reconstruction in the post-war period. Oberniedermayr improved after 1954 already existing contacts with pediatric surgical centers in the USA , Sweden and the UK and set up a dedicated department of anesthesia and a Dysmeliezentrum for children with birth defects (by thalidomide caused thalidomide scandal ) a.

He was a co-founder of modern pediatric surgery in Germany, which had now become a special surgical discipline in its own right, and was considered an important surgeon . His work includes more than 100 scientific publications. He introduced endotracheal anesthesia in pediatric surgery and developed new surgical and therapeutic procedures. In 1959 he succeeded in the first successful separation of Siamese twins (Xiphopagen). Surgical work focused on neurosurgical operations ( hydrocephalus , subdural hematomas and hygromas , malformations in spina bifida , traumatic brain injury ), urological operations ( hypospadias , phimoses ), orthopedic operations ( hip joint diseases , deformities), abdominal operations ( pancreas , gall bladder , hernias , congenital diaphragmatic defects and abdominal clefts) and plastic surgery (cleft lip and palate). He was also the author of a textbook on childhood surgery and orthopedics.
