Georg Franz Blasius von Adelmann (28 June 1811 in Fulda – 16 June 1888 in Berlin) was a German physician and surgeon.
He studied medicine at the Universities of Marburg and Würzburg, receiving his doctorate in 1832 with the dissertation De dignitate lithontritiae. He then served as an assistant to Karl Friedrich Heusinger at the medical clinic in Marburg,[1] followed by work as a physician in his hometown of Fulda (from 1835). Afterwards, he returned to Marburg as an assistant at the surgical clinic run by Christoph Ullmann.[2]
By way of a recommendation from University of Heidelberg surgeon, Maximilian Joseph von Chelius, he was appointed to the chair of surgery at Dorpat as successor to Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov. From 1841 to 1871, he maintained this position, afterwards moving to Berlin, where he lived in retirement until his death in 1888. At Dorpat, he was succeeded by his son-in-law, renowned surgeon Ernst von Bergmann.[2][3]
In 1860 he was given the title of Staatsrat. Adelmann is credited with introducing a procedure that involved flexion of the limb(s) as a treatment for arterial bleeding.[3][4]
