#Polish #surgeon whose #innovations in #operative #technique for a wide variety of diseases helped develop #ModernDurgery.
He contributed prodigiously to #cancer surgery, especially on organs of the #digestivesystem. He was first to suture a perforated #gastriculcer (1885), surgically restore part of the #oesophagus (1886), remove a malignant part of the #colon (1903), and describe what is now known as #Mikulicz' disease.
In 1881 he developed improved models of the #oesophagoscope and #gastroscope.
As an ardent advocate of #antiseptics he did much to popularize Joseph Lister's antiseptic methods.
He used a #gauzemask and was one of the first to use #gloves during surgery.
