Career

Steinau studied medicine at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main and received his doctorate in 1972 from the Ruprecht Karls University in Heidelberg . He initially worked as an assistant doctor at the Clinic for Pediatric Surgery in Frankfurt-Höchst, later at the University Clinic in Frankfurt , at the Academic Hospital St. Markus in Frankfurt and at the Klinikum rechts der Isar in Munich. During this time he trained to become a specialist in surgery, plastic surgery and hand surgery.

After completing his habilitation at the University of Frankfurt, he moved to the Bergmannsheil University Hospital in Bochum as director of the Clinic for Plastic Surgery and Serious Burn Injuries in 1990 . His focus areas include post-traumatic and oncological plastic reconstructive surgery, infected large wounds, radiation damage, care for severe burns, reconstructive microsurgery and post-operative complication management.
