Johann Carl Ernst Hermann Cordua (born January 19, 1852 in Sülze i. M. , † October 31, 1905 in Hamburg ) was a German surgeon.
Life
Hermann Cordua was the son of the Mecklenburg theologian of the same name, Hermann Cordua , who, because of his political activities, had to give up his ministry and become a private teacher in 1848 when he became a member of the Mecklenburg Assembly of Representatives .
He attended high school in Rostock and from 1871 studied human medicine at the universities of Rostock , Erlangen and Rostock again. His dissertation on the mechanism of resorption of bruises , presented at the beginning of 1876, was awarded a prize. He received his license to practice medicine at Easter 1876 ; In 1876/77 he was assistant to Emil Ponfick at the Pathological Institute of the University of Göttingen .
On November 5, 1877, he came to the General Hospital St. Georg in Hamburg as an assistant doctor to receive his surgical training from Erich Martini . In 1879 he became an external assistant doctor, later a secondary doctor, as head of the surgical polyclinic, but in the first few years he was also active in the surgical ward under Martini and from 1880 Max Schede . In 1880 he took over a surgical department at the children's hospital in Hamburg-Borgfelde . In 1889, the Surgical Polyclinic of the General Hospital also became formally independent. Cordua held both leading positions until the end of his life.
In addition to his work in hospitals, Cordua was one of the busiest doctors and surgeons in Hamburg and an expert on accident and life insurance issues. He was on the board of the Medical Association and from 1895 on the Medical Association . A large part of his research relates to abdominal surgery; His publications on intestinal invagination and pyloric hypertrophy in children were particularly noteworthy . He advocated the introduction of zinc glue into surgical dressing technology.
