In 1864 Veit moved to the University of Bonn as director of the Clinic for Obstetrics . At his request, Karl Schroeder accompanied him .

In his article On the Best Method for Extracting the Subsequent Child's Head , Veit described the Veit Smellie Handle , a technique for assisting childbirth in the presence of a breech , named after him and the Scottish obstetrician William Smellie . This technique, however, was founded by Jacques Guillemeau in De l'hereux accouchement des femmes (1609) before Veit .
