Abstract
Those who knew him well say that Burian ranked with Gillies, Esser, Kilner and McIndoe as one of the masters and founders of modern plastic surgery. Burian was born in Prague on 17 September 1881, exactly 9 months to the day before Sir Harold Gillies was born. He studied medicine at Charles University in Prague, and following his graduation, he spent 1 year at the Institute of Pathology before starting on his surgical training in 1907 at the First Department of Surgery.
