In the history of medicine, Carl Nicoladoni is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Carl Nicoladoni as Austrian surgeon (1847-1902).
Carl Nicoladoni was born at Vienna in 1847. He trained at University of Vienna.
Anaesthesia, antisepsis and germ theory arrived within fifty years and made modern surgery possible for the first time.
His posts were held at University of Vienna, University of Graz and University of Innsbruck.
The test of medical work is whether practice changed, not whether the argument was elegant.
Carl Nicoladoni died in 1902, aged 55. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
