Gustav Simon (surgeon)

In 1848 he earned his medical doctorate from the University of Giessen, and from 1848 to 1861 served as a military physician with a Hessian troop outfit.

In 1861 at the request of Carl Friedrich Strempel (1800–1872), he was appointed professor at the University of Rostock and director of the surgical clinic.

Simon specialized in the fields of gynecology, orthopedics and military surgery, and published a book involving his early experiences with gunshot wounds.

In 1851-52 while in Paris, he had the chance to observe Antoine Joseph Jobert de Lamballe’s operative treatment of vesicovaginal fistulae (VVF).
