Alexander Brunschwig (September 11, 1901 – August 7, 1969) was born in El Paso, Texas. He died in 1969 at the age of 67 of coronary disease. [1]
Brunschwig developed pelvic exenteration surgery, which removes major organs from the patient's pelvic cavity. He performed 847 procedures, with a death rate similar to those of others later with more modern anesthesia.[ citation needed] Pelvic exenteration is controversial, because it is one of the most aggressive and disfiguring surgeries used in oncology, and has not been subject to controlled clinical trials. [2]
In 1963, Brunschwig maintained that cancer of the uterine cervix, microscopically looked like a viral disease. That has since been proved.[ citation needed]
He was in the forefront of implantation of the ureters and construction of substitute bladders from segments of the colon.[ citation needed]
He worked with Alexander A. Maximow and William Bloom on their Textbook of Histology.[ citation needed]
Obituary: Classics in Oncology ( a detailed review of his life and contributions).[ citation needed]
