  • Title: [The urologic work of Doctor Alejandro Settier (1858-1915). (V). Specialist Alejandro Settier].
    Author: Maganto Pavón E.
    Journal: Actas Urol Esp; 1996 Jun; 20(6):522-33. PubMed ID: 8928679.
    Abstract:
    The urological work of Alejandro Settier (1858-1915), written between 1883 and 1890, surpasses both in quantity and quality that of all his Spanish contemporaries and colleagues. At a time when most works written by the first generation of specialist in genitourinary tract diseases in our country focused on lithotrity, litholapaxy, dissections, urethral stenosis, or minor surgery, the Settier's works comprise, apart from the common topics, such new issues as tumours of the bladder, treatment with electric currents of urine incontinence, local anaesthetics in urological surgery, or specific infections of the genitourinary tract. Although some of the more than 40 articles of Settier appeared in the most prestigious Spanish journals: "El Siglo Médico", "La Medicina Práctica", "Gaceta de enfermedades de los órganos génito-urinarios", etc. (revised in this paper), can be considered educational works, the precociousness and scientific value of the majority, endorsed by his experience, personal case records and acknowledgment by his contemporaries, grants the greatest interest over time for the written work of this urologist.
