Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When she is described at a medical conference as "one of the most famous women in gynecology," it is worth taking a closer look at the extraordinary career of Liselotte Mettler of the University Hospital of Kiel.

Working under sometimes difficult conditions and often facing prejudice, Liselotte Mettler assumed increasing responsibility for the entire clinic, particularly in the fields of endoscopy and reproductive medicine. The establishment of gynecological endoscopic surgery—from laparoscopic, minimally invasive procedures to robot-assisted surgery—and the benefits that arose from this revolutionary development are directly linked to her life’s work. Her contribution to the development of in vitro fertilization—from the early and very fragile initial phase of reproductive medicine to successful extracorporeal fertilization—was significant. A tribute to her work states: "Thanks to her research, countless families have experienced the joy of having a child of their own."

The wide-ranging experience Liselotte Mettler gained in advancing endoscopy and reproductive medicine is just as important to her colleagues, medical students, and the general public as her pioneering work in promoting women physicians to leadership positions in university medicine.
