Introduction

Hermann Johannes Pfannenstiel (1862 – 1909) was a German gynecologist born in Berlin.

He received his doctorate in Berlin (1885) and afterwards worked as a hospital assistant in Posen. He later moved to Breslau, became an associate professor (1896) and was appointed chair of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Giessen. Five years later, he attained a similar position at the University of Kiel.

From 1891 he was secretary of the German Society for Gynaecology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie). In 1896 he became co-editor of the Archives of Gynaecology (Archiv für Gynäkologie). Among his better known publications were works on ovarian pathology, uterine tumors and the formation of carcinomas following ovariotomy. In 1908 he was the first physician to give a comprehensive description of familial icterus gravis neonatorum.

Pfannenstiel is remembered clinically for "Pfannenstiel's incision", a transverse incision used in genitourinary surgery that is still widely used today. He published his paper in 1900 when he described 51 cases. His intent was to decrease the risk of an incisional hernia; results also proved to be cosmetically better.
