Sammanfattning
X : Hundred years ago, on 12 January 1903 the gynaecologist Max Sänger (1853-1903) died. He was one of the most well-known German gynaecologists at the end of the 19th century, and during the 20 years he practiced in Leipzig, he achieved an international reputation. His scientific work covered almost the whole field of contemporary obstetrics and gynaecology, and he is still remembered for his modification of the Caesarean operation, which substantially reduced maternal mortality. Sänger was closely linked to Norway, both professionally and personally. This paper describes his work as gynaecologist and his relationship to Norway, especially his friendship with Nina and Edvard Grieg.
