Karl Wilhelm Wutzer
Karl Wilhelm Wutzer was a German surgeon.
He studied medicine at the Berlin-Pépinière, later becoming director of the surgical school at Münster. In 1830 he succeeded Karl August Weinhold as professor of surgery at Halle, afterwards, relocating to the University of Bonn as a successor to Philipp Franz von Walther. In 1850 he began to experience serious eye problems, a condition that eventually put an end to his surgical career.
As a surgeon, he originated an operative procedure for inguinal hernia, and was an early practitioner of surgery for vesico-vaginal fistula.
In the field of ophthalmology, he published a translation of a work by Antonius Gerardus van Onsenoort with the title of, Geschichte der Augenheilkunde als Einleitung in das Studium.
