Dr. Joachim Friedrich Henckel, surgeon at the Charité in Berlin reported in "De sectione caesarea" on probably the first operation of a caesarean section along the linea alba on a living woman. He performed this operation in Berlin in 1769. The child survived. Although the mother's health was good at first, she died probably due to Peritonitis. This operation attracted so much attention in Berlin at that time that king Fredric II. appointed Henckel as professor of surgery and Court Councellor. Later Dr. Henckel became director of the Charité.
柏林夏里特医院的外科医生约阿希姆·弗里德里希·亨克尔博士在《剖宫产术》中报道了可能是首例沿白线对一名在世女性进行剖宫产手术的案例。他于1769年在柏林实施了这一手术。孩子存活了下来。尽管母亲起初健康状况良好，但她可能因腹膜炎去世。当时这一手术在柏林引起了极大关注，以至于腓特烈二世国王任命亨克尔为外科学教授和宫廷顾问。后来，亨克尔博士成为了夏里特医院的院长。
