Princess Vera Ignatievna Gedroitz〔Her surname is variously romanized as ''Gedroyts'', ''Gedroitz'', ''Gedroits'', ''Giedroyć'', etc.〕 (; (ウクライナ語:Віра Ігнатіївна Гедройць); 1870–1932) was a Russian doctor of medicine, a professor, the first female surgeon in Russia, one of the first female professors of surgery in the world, and a writer of poetry and prose. Gedroitz belonged to a Lithuanian princely clan which shared its origins with the more famous Radziwiłł family. She was born in Slobodishe (Oryol guberniya) into the Russian-speaking milieu and was trained to be a surgeon at the University of Lausanne, in the clinic of professor César Roux. The illness of her parents and the death of her sister compelled Gedroitz to return to Russia in 1900. Her work in laparotomies during the Russo-Japanese War was among the first to achieve a high success rate. This led the Russian army to adopt the procedure, and caused the notions of the correct treatment of penetrating abdominal wounds to change. In 1909 Gedroitz was transferred to the court hospital in Tsarskoye Selo, where she worked as a surgeon to the imperial family. At that time she joined the Poets' Guild, publishing her poems under the pen name ''Sergei Gedroitz''. After the February Revolution she did not flee the Tsarskoye Selo as many her relatives did. She went to work on the World War I front, but settled in Kiev with her lover, Countess Maria Nierodt.〔Хохлов В. Г.

In 1921 she started to teach at the Kiev medical institute. In 1923 she was selected for a post of the professor, in 1929 she headed chair of faculty surgery and was removed from the university in 1930. She died of cancer and was buried in her native city. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vera Gedroitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
