Bischoff's Operation

The discovery of osteoclasts at the end of the 20th century is the beginning of a new period in surgery and biology, **Bischoff\'s**

**Discovery of the osteoclast:**

The osteoclast was first discovered (in 1865) by the German anatomist Ernst Gunter, who found that bone elements are devoured by blood vessels. And in 1891, the French urologist Cassian Bichat made the assumption that processes of destruction of bone structures also occur in these same vessels. His arguments were confirmed by the experiments of his colleagues - German scientists O. Leydig and E. Schultz. In 1950, Bichat received the Nobel Prize for his work on bone resorption. Over the course of several years, researchers repeatedly came close to the discovery of osteoclasts, but it was not until August 8, 1964 that a group of scientists reported a new discovery in Berlin at the con



Bischoff is a surgical method developed by the German surgeon and urologist Karl Ludwig Arthur Bischoff for the treatment of narrowing of the pelvis and ureters; sometimes used to restore patency of deep veins.

Performed for uncomplicated reno-ureteral dysplasia with one affected ureter. In case of ureteral bifurcation, Bischoff endovesicopexy is not allowed. It is performed laparoscopically. The “sliding” seam technique is used (author - A.P. Gureev).



Bischoff, Fritz - (08/30/1906 - 05/26/2002) - famous urological scientist and practicing physician. Born in Berlin, Germany. Received medical education in Germany and the USA. In 1933 he began working in the Urological Department of the Charité Hospital in Berlin.

Bischoff is the author of several scientific works, one of which is: “Biisop-fibrillen im Knochenmark der Vögel”. In this study, he determined that birds have special cells called bisiophilic fibroblasts that produce proteins needed to strengthen bone tissue. This work later became the basis for the development of drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis.
