Curriculum vitae

On the 28th March, 1937 I was born in Budapest, Hungary.

1955 School examinations in Budapest.

1955 – 1961 study of medicine in Budapest. During the study I worked over 4 years in the Anatomical Institute as an assistant. Already at this time I have co-operated on publications and have taught for students. I have co-operated in the new edition of several anatomy atlases have contributed a lot moreover. As an acknowledgment of my work I received from all editing professors a signed copy.

On the 1st October, 1961 I have done a doctorate to the doctor of medicine with the honoring “summa cum laude”.

During my surgical activity in Hungary I have also worked academically, have published different works in German and have given lectures at congresses, home and abroad. At the 51st annual meeting of the German Orthopaedics Society from the 22nd to the 26th September, 1964 I have given lectures about my developed methods which met big approval because of her simplicity and good result. On grounds of the talks and publications I was invited at the University Hospital of Frankfurt to work there. The following publications were it: Archive for Orthopaedics and Accident Surgery: Tape 56/1964 – substitute of the lateral knee joint tapes. Tape 57/1964 – modified percutanaeus femoral neck nailing and our experiences acquired in it.

In 1966 I have taken the specialist’s exam for surgery in Budapest.

On the 1st of April, 1966 I have come at invitation of the University Hospital of Frankfurt to Germany where I was active till June, 1972 in the area of the Vascular Surgery and Phlebologie.

Since 1972 I have an own medical practice, later then also a private clinic where I work predominantly in the area of the phlebology, angiology and lymphology.

In these areas I am also academically active. I have given worldwide numerous lectures on different congresses, scientific academies and universities.

From the 27th to the 29th March, 1987 I have started to organize the International Workshop for Phlebology. This event became bigger from year to year, with big international participation; doctors from more than 20 countries have taken part. This year we already organize the 26th conference. When enough preliminary work was performed I founded on the 20th of March, 1993 the International Forum for Minisurgery of the Varicose Veins which counts today more than 1500 members and is with it one of the biggest Phlebological Societies of Europe. This society has as an annual conference the International Workshop which is organized yearly in March. As an absolute rarity we publish yearly at the conference a complete congressional book which also serves as a manual for the doctors. In the course of the years we have created such a Workshop library. The books are digital on DVD since 2010.

Many of my works were published in different scientific magazines and books.

I have held more than 300 lectures and have worked at more than 100 publications and 40 books.

In 1986 I have received a teaching assignment at the National University of Mexico where I had already been active since 1977. Here I was appointed on the 26th November, 1986 the professor degree.

I always wanted to develop own things and not apply already well known and well-worn methods. There are people who develop new and others which use methods. At congresses well known subjects are reported in countless variations, which are not useful. I have changed established methods after logical points of view. I have made even the known crossectomy cut then different; I have cut the skin angular, because thus the best cosmetic results appeared. The lower layers I have separated lengthwise, so that I could spare the lymphatic system at most. Of course the sparest full method is those who abstain from crossectomy and stripping totally.
