In 1853 he was appointed assistant surgeon at University College Hospital, becoming full surgeon in 1863, professor of clinical surgery in 1866, and consulting surgeon in 1874. In 1884 he became professor of surgery and pathology in the Royal College of Surgeons. Specializing in surgery of the genito-urinary tract, and in particular in that of the bladder, he studied in Paris under Jean Civiale, who in the first quarter of the 19th century had developed a procedure to crush a stone within the human bladder and who had invented an instrument for this minimally invasive surgery.
In April of 1984 at the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons meeting in Kansas City, Drs. Edwin Kaplan, Jack Monchik, Leonard Rosoff, Norm Thompson, and Stuart Wilson proposed to the Council a new achievement award. This award is to be given to a member of the AAES in recognition for contributions in the field of endocrine surgery as an investigator, teacher, and clinical surgeon. It is not an annual award but is to be given to members of our Association who have achieved the high standards for which the award was established.

The mission of the PLRA is to enrich the discipline of endocrine surgery and to advance the careers of junior investigators who are interested in a career in academic endocrine surgery. These goals will be pursued by supporting grant proposals that will broaden the horizon of endocrine surgery and advance the career-goals of junior endocrine surgeons. The PLRA welcomes proposals for support of a wide spectrum of research topics including surgical ethics, education, epidemiology, biostatistics, health care delivery, as well as clinical or basic science research pertaining to the field of endocrine surgery. The PLRA may be used for bridge or supplemental funding for research protocols with existing funding.
The clinical rotation comprises 40 hours duty per week in the University Hospital in the field of General Surgery, Orthopedics, Anesthesiology or Urology, or in a combination of these specialties. An individual schedule is made with auscultation in various units within the hospital, such as in- and out-patients wards, operation theatres, intensive care units and emergency wards in general surgery, orthopaedics and urolology. Time is given for studies of literature and internet searches. 2ff7e9595c
