✦ Synopsis

Dr. Lang's research focused on the microanatomic and histologic appearance of the vessels of the pleura, peritoneum, synovialis, and cerebrum. He was interested in many topographical issues concerning the cranial and cervical regions. His research was greatly esteemed by a large number of clinicians for its significant contribution to the progress of expanding clinical disciplines such as ENT, maxillo-facial surgery, and neurosurgery.

Dr. Lang published more than 200 original papers in well-known national and international journals. A total of 180 students and assistants who worked in his laboratories achieved success with the writing of their theses.

Two textbooks, Praktische Anatomie, Kopf: Gehirnund Augenscha ¨del and Praktische Anatomie Kopf: U ¨bergeordnete Systeme, are the culmination of his life's work. These volumes, which are still cited frequently, continued the famous series of standard works on topography that were primarily written and edited by T.v. Lanz and W. Wachsmuth.
