Ernst Fürstenheim (18 August 1836, in Köthen – 2 July 1904, in Berlin) was a German urologist.
He studied medicine in Berlin, Würzburg, Paris and London, obtaining his doctorate in 1861 with a thesis titled "De ratione, quae inter hypochondriam et hysteriam". As a student, his instructors included surgeon Bernhard von Langenbeck and Jean Civiale, a pioneer of lithotrity.[1] In 1863 he established a medical practice in Berlin, of which he specialized in diseases of the urinary tract.[2]
He was the author of several works on diseases of the male reproductive organs and of the urinary system, especially involving endoscopy of the urinary tract.[3] He is remembered for his efforts in regards to the popularization of urological endoscopy in Germany.[2] He is also credited with making improvements to the endoscope developed by Antonin Jean Desormeaux.[4]
