from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Erwin Thasler (* 1967 in Munich ) is a German surgeon and chief physician in the department for general, visceral and minimally invasive surgery at the Rotkreuzklinikum Munich . He is an adjunct professor at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and is known for his work in the fields of biobanking , liver regeneration , surgical oncology , liver and gall bladder surgery, hepatobiliary surgery and surgical coloproctology .

Life

Thasler studied human medicine from 1989 to 1996 at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, where he received his doctorate in 1999 with an animal experiment on liver replacement systems (magna cum laude). Stays abroad in the USA during his studies (1993 at Massachusetts General Hospital , Boston) and 1995 at the University of Minnesota , Minneapolis, followed by a research stay at the Capital University of Medical Sciences in Beijing in 2001 and in the USA in 2007. In 2002 he was recognized as a specialist in surgery. He completed his habilitation in this subject in 2007 with work on liver regeneration. As a result of his further scientific work in biobanking and surgical oncology, he was appointed adjunct professor at LMU Munich in 2013.

From 1996 to 2002 Thasler was an assistant doctor at the Clinic and Polyclinic for Surgery  at the University of Regensburg with  Karl-Walter Jauch . From 2003 to 2015 he worked at the Clinic for General, Visceral, Transplantation, Vascular and Thoracic Surgery at the University of Munich Hospital , initially as a senior physician (2003), senior physician (2006), senior physician (2012) in visceral surgery with a focus on minimally invasive, colorectal and oncological surgery. In 2008 he was awarded the title of "specialist in visceral surgery" and in 2012 he was also qualified for "special visceral surgery". In 2009 he worked for 3 months at Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital, Thimphu, Bhutan as part of a development aid project as a senior surgeon in health care and to set up local surgical training. In 2013 Thasler obtained the European specialist diploma for coloproctology (EBSQ) and became a Fellow of the European Board of Surgeons (FEBS). In 2015 he also became a specialist in surgical oncology (EBSQ). Since October 2015 he has been chief physician in the department for general, visceral and minimally invasive surgery at the Rotkreuzklinikum Munich, succeeding Herbert Lang , Herbert Welsch and Michael Schönberg .

Thasler is a co-founder of Hepacult, a spin-off in the field of human tissue and cell research, and a member of the ethics committee of the Human Tissue and Cell Research (HTCR) foundation.

Since 1993 he has been a member of the Catholic student association KDStV Trifels Munich.

Scientific contribution

Thasler's scientific focus is on surgical oncology. He has carried out numerous research work on the fundamentals and possible therapeutic influence of liver regeneration, since the regenerative capacity of this organ plays a central role in the planning and feasibility of tumor resections. The experimental investigations were carried out mainly on primary liver cells or with regard to the protein "Augmenter of Liver Regeneration" (ALR) in bacterial expression systems derived therefrom. In addition to this focus, he generally dealt with the use of human tissue in research. In this context, Thasler dealt with ethical, legal, operational, technical and scientific topics of biobanking, especially preanalytics.

This basic scientific work was supplemented and reflected by extensive, retrospective analyzes in the form of a prospectively built database on all liver resections  at the LMU Clinic since 2003  . On this basis, data on the perioperative risk assessment in patients who had to undergo a liver resection were analyzed.
