Early life

Büchler was born in Saarlouis, a city in south-west Germany. He went to school in Dillingen and Sasbach, then began studying medicine at Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg.

Medical career

Büchler trained in general surgery and cardiovascular surgery at the University of Berlin in the early 1980s, before specialising in surgery at the University of Ulm, Germany.[1] During this time his focus and interest lay in transplant surgery as well as liver and gastrointestinal diseases— particularly of the pancreas.[1] In 1987, he finished his specialty training and instantly overtook a position as a senior surgeon. Büchler carried out his research fellowship in a laboratory in California in the early 1990s, where he made "significant contributions to the understanding of pancreatic diseases at the molecular level".[2] In 1991 he became a directing senior surgeon and professor of surgery at the university. In 1999 he became head of the Department of Visceral and Transplantation Surgery at the University of Bern, Inselspital in Switzerland,[1] where he was since 1993 professor. Since 2001, he is the director of the department of general, visceral and transplantation surgery at Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg. Since 2003 he is the managing director of the department of general visceral and transplantation surgery at Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg.

Büchler as an academic

Research had a very significant role in Büchler's life. He is the initiator of numerous research projects, and has significantly enriched the surgical literature with results of laboratory and clinical studies. Heidelberg's surgery figures have greatly increased since his presence. Büchler has over 1100 publications listed in PubMed.
