“…Gussenbauer made a name for himself in the field of surgery through 61 publications in a wide array of surgical disciplines. When working as a generalist, his preference was always abdominal surgery, as would be expected from a student of Billroth [5]. Working with another Billroth prote ´ge ´, Alexander von Winiwarter, Gussenbauer established a new technique for gastric resection in dogs [6].…”

“…Although Gussenbauer never achieved the fame associated with other nineteenth century surgeons such as Langenbeck, Volkmann, and Bergmann, he is without doubt one of the most talented surgeons of his day and made many invaluable contributions to scientific surgery. As a disciple of Billroth, he adapted and spread his mentor's principle of the modern surgeon-the clinician combining scientific surgery with unlimited commitment to patient care [5].…”

Carl Gussenbauer (1842-1903), known for many contributions to surgery, should also be noted prominently in the list of pioneers of pancreatic surgery. His successful performance of external drainage for a pancreatic cyst in 1882 was the first planned pancreatic operation. Although pancreatic surgery had been developed in animal models during the seventeenth century, surgery of the human pancreas was practically nonexistent owing to the dismal results seen with incidental pancreatic operations done early in the nineteenth century. Gussenbauer's procedure was a significant advance, representing a safe and effective solution to the pancreatic cyst problem. Gussenbauer's external drainage procedure remained the gold standard for treating pancreatic cysts until the 1920s and was still a widely practiced therapeutic option until the 1950s. With his discipline, insight, and innovative thought, Gussenbauer initiated the modern era of pancreatic surgery.
