Abstract
Hans von Haberer (1875-1958) gained wide experience in the reconstruct ive surgery of vascular aneurysms al the universities of Innsbruck, Gr az, Dusseldorf and Cologne. In this period he operated on 421 vascular aneurysms - including 30 carotid aneurysms - mainly by means of direc t circular vascular suture. In 1914 von Haberer described the first re pair of a carotid aneurysm. Therefore he is the pioneer of reconstruct ive carotid surgery. Based on detailed clinical and operation reports on approximately 16000 cases, written by Hans von Haberer between 1904 and 1949, and on the contemporary literature, we describe his experie nce in vascular surgery.
