Why Is Alexander Brunschwig Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Alexander Brunschwig was born in El Paso, Texas. He died in 1969 at the age of 67 of coronary disease. Brunschwig developed pelvic exenteration surgery, which removes major organs from the patient's pelvic cavity. He performed 847 procedures, with a death rate similar to those of others later with more modern anesthesia. Pelvic exenteration is controversial, because it is one of the most aggressive and disfiguring surgeries used in oncology, and has not been subject to controlled clinical trials.
