Heinrich Bass

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Bass (also: Baß ; born October 6, 1690 in Bremen ; † March 5, 1754 in Halle (Saale) ) was a German anatomist and surgeon.

Life

The son of the surgeon Gerhard Bass attended the illustrious grammar school in Bremen and began studying medicine at the University of Halle in 1713 . In 1715 he moved to the University of Strasbourg , continued his studies at the University of Basel in 1717 and returned to Halle in 1718, where he obtained a doctorate in medicine with the dissertation de fistula ani feliciter curanda under Friedrich Hoffmann .

On July 29, 1718 Heinrich Bass became an associate professor for anatomy and surgery in Halle, where he was particularly concerned with surgery and anatomy. Among other things, Bass made a name for himself in performing the paracentesis of the breast, which he performed after the skin had previously been moved.

Heinrich Bass was considered "one of the most important German surgeons of his time and a very sought-after teacher".

His treatise on tumor surgery was awarded a prize in 1753 by the Academy of Surgery in Paris.

Bass was married twice. On October 14, 1718, he married Friderika Amalia († September 28, 1726 in Halle), the second daughter of the royal Prussian consistorial council, professor of theology and cathedral preacher in Halle Johann Huldrich Heyden (1662–1727). After the death of his first wife, on September 25, 1731, he entered into another marriage with Johanna Sophia, the daughter of the medical doctor Christian Röper.
