- Abstract
We present some of many valuable and unique achievements of Jan Mikulicz-Radecki with special regard to his contribution to laryngology. He constructed esophagogastroscope, and was one of the first to perform endoscopy of esophagus and ventricle. He published several papers describing new approaches to maxillary sinus through inferior meatus, surgical management of tonsillar cancer via lateral pharyngotomy, correction of post-traumatic nasal deformations, and the use of iodophorm in healing wounds. Among Mikulicz's many celebrated scientific achievements, the most important remains the development of asepsis and creation of a surgical school, which was a modernized continuation of Langenbeck-Billroth achievements.
