Two important theories that emerged in this context were iatrochemistry and iatrophysics.

[The life and works of Professor Max Hösel (1906-1971): a pioneer of endoscopic prostate surgery].

In 1949 Max Hösel (1906-1971) founded the largest urological hospital in the world at that time in the former military hospital in Ulm, which at times had over 250 inpatient beds. In the south German region he had at his disposal the most comprehensive endoscopic operation collective and the greatest experience in transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P). From 1948 to 1958 he carried out approximately 13,850 prostate resections with an average adenoma weight of 30 g and a mortality rate of <1%.
