Zoedler received his medical training in various hospitals, most recently in Berlin . After becoming a specialist in urology in 1950 , he was appointed to the urology department of the Berlin-Neukölln hospital . Because of his surgical skills and his scientific work, Hans Boeminghaus brought him to Düsseldorf in 1957 with the assurance of his successor . For more than 20 years he headed the Golzheim Clinic as an internationally known urological specialist clinic. He developed new surgical procedures, especially the "Zoedlerband" for correcting female urinary incontinence , which was also used in the USA and Japan. His more than 150 scientific papers and lectures at national and international congresses made Zoedler internationally known.
