Johann
Mikulicz was born in 1850 in Bukowina, Romania. He studied medicine
and apprenticed surgeon Theodor Billroth in Vienna. Mikulicz
eventually became Billroth’s assistant and then a professor
himself. Mikulicz made many significant contributions to medicine.
He modernized cancer and thoracic surgeries. A strong believer in
antiseptics, Mikulicz was one of the first surgeons to begin using
gloves and a mask while operating. Ten tools, diseases and
procedures are named for Mikulicz. Johann Mikulicz was clearly a
prodigy in the medical field. He died in 1905 of Cancer.
