Who was Eugen Rehfisch?
Eugen Rehfisch was a German physician born in Kempen.
He studied medicine at the Universities of Berlin and Wurzburg, earning his doctorate in 1887. Soon afterwards he worked as a physician in Berlin, where he was a colleague of urologist Leopold Casper. From 1896 to 1900 he performed important urodynamic research at the university's institute of physiology. Later, he was awarded the title of professor.
Rehfisch is remembered for his investigations on the physiology of micturition and bladder innervation, and is credited as being the first to gauge the phenomena of bladder pressure and urinary flow simultaneously in a human being. From these experiments, he helped lay a foundation for the advancement of modern urodynamics.
The "Eugen-Rehfisch-Preis" is an award issued by the Forum Urodynamicum in recognition for achievements in the field of neuro-urology. From 1901 onwards, Rehfisch's scientific focus was largely in the disciplines of cardiology and psychiatry.
