Theoretical surgery
The Theoretical Surgery is a basic science and supports the decision of the operating surgeon . It helps him plan the best surgical treatment possible. The “tool” of the theoretical surgeon is not the scalpel , but the database . In addition to actively participating in the preparation of surgical interventions, the theoretical surgeon is also responsible for quality assurance , i.e. the scientific documentation of the success (or failure) of the operations performed - an important prerequisite for the further development of successful surgical procedures and thus for the improvement of patient care .
Wilfried Lorenz, who taught at the Philipps University of Marburg from 1970 to 2004, is considered to be the most important pioneer of this branch of medical science in Germany . He received one of the first professorships with this designation, which was retained even after his retirement. He also published the most important German scientific journal (of the same name).
