Paul Kraske as a student

He studied medicine at the universities of Halle and Leipzig, receiving his doctorate at Halle in 1874. While a student, he served as a volunteer soldier in a fusilier regiment during the Franco-Prussian War. After graduation, he spent several years as an assistant to Richard von Volkmann at the surgical clinic in Halle, then from 1883 to 1919 was a professor and head of the surgical clinic at the University of Freiburg.[1][2]

He held a particular interest in colorectal cancer, and is remembered for introducing a transsacral approach for the extirpation of cancers of the rectum ("Kraske's operation").[3]
