Hans von Gersdorff, also known as Schyl-Hans (approx. 1455 – 1529), was a German surgeon who published the Feldbuch der Wundarzney ("Field book of surgery") in 1517 (published by Johannes Schott in Strasbourg[1]), with instructions for procedures such as amputation. It was illustrated with woodcuts attributed to Hans Wechtlin.[2]
