Abstract
Johann Conrad Brunner (1653–1727) (Figure 2.1), whom history would record as the first to resect a pancreas, was born in Diessenhofen, a small rural town in the Swiss canton of Thurgovia, on January 13, 1653, 11 years after Wirsung’s discovery, and nine years after the birth of de Graaf. Like so many of the pancreatic pioneers, he studied medicine in Strasbourg, from 1669 to 1672, subsequently making extensive travels to the medical centers in Paris, London, Oxford, Amsterdam, and Leiden, before returning to Strasbourg where he graduated in 1675, aged 22.
