Lorenz Heister (1683-1758) was a German anatomist, surgeon and botanist, very well-known at his time.
Among his numerous writings, his best-known work is "Institutiones chirurgicae", a book on surgery that was translated into several languages. It was used extensively in Japan, and was still employed as a standard text at Vienna as late as 1838.
