Richard Frommel
Richard Frommel (born July 16, 1854 in Augsburg , † April 6, 1912 in Munich ) was a German gynecologist. From 1887 to 1901 he was director of the University Women's Clinic in Erlangen. He advocated the surgical treatment of ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
Life
Frommel studied medicine at the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich , the Georg August University of Göttingen and the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg . He became a member of the Corps Suevia Munich (1873), the Corps Brunsviga Göttingen (1873) and the Corps Rhenania Würzburg (1875). In 1877 he was promoted to Dr. med. PhD.
With Karl Schroeder at the I. University Women's Clinic of the Berlin Charité , Frommel worked from 1879 to 1882, first as an assistant, then as a senior physician. Then he went to Munich. He completed his habilitation there with a thesis on galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome (later called Chiari-Frommel syndrome ) and headed a "private institution for women's diseases". In 1887 Frommel received the call to Erlangen. In 1901, at the age of 46, after almost 13 years as director of the Erlangen Women's Clinic, he surprisingly resigned from all offices for unknown reasons, went back to Munich and gave up all medical work. Frommel died of complications from acute appendicitis .
During his time in Erlangen, Frommel published more than 30 papers that dealt with all sub-areas of the subject. In 1887 he founded Frommel's annual reports for obstetrics and gynecology , the first collection of papers on all important publications in the field. Gynecology owes Frommel, among other things, a decisive impetus to rethink the treatment of ruptured ectopic pregnancy . Contrary to the then valid doctrine , which recommended a wait-and-see behavior, Frommel advocated immediate operative intervention. In addition to Johann Baptist Chiari , he is the namesake of the Chiari-Frommel syndrome .
