Raphael Johann Steidele
Raphael Johann Steidele (20 February 1737, Innsbruck – 10 September 1823, Vienna) was an Austrian surgeon and obstetrician.
He studied at the University of Vienna, receiving his magister degree for obstetrics in 1764 and his doctorate for surgery in 1784. Beginning in 1789 he was associated with the university obstetrics clinic, and from 1797 to 1817, was a professor of theoretical gynecology at the University of Vienna.[1]
His name is associated with the "Steidele complex", being defined as absence of the aortic arch. He first described the anomaly in 1788.[2][3]
