Frank Hinman, Jr., MD attended Stanford and finished magna
cum laude in 1937. At Johns Hopkins, he finished first in
his class and was invited to stay for another year of Medicine.
His surgical residency was in Cincinnati under Mont Reid and his
urologic residency in the UC rotation. He was Chief of the Urology
Service at San Francisco General Hospital from 1958 to 1977 where
he was instrumental in initiating departmental reimbursement for
clinical services. He was Chief of Urology at Children's Hospital
San Francisco from 1959 until his retirement from clinical practice
in 1985. There, in addition to clinical work, he taught a section
of the third year class. He has yet to become emeritus; instead
he is called back yearly as Clinical Professor, keeping an eight-hour
working day in the Urology Department.
Always curious about how things work, Hinman has made several
contributions to basic knowledge and practice. For example, his
studies of the bladder defense mechanisms under a 17-year NIH
grant not only led to better clinical approaches to urinary tract
infection, but also stimulated investigation by other workers
in the field. Work on pediatric bladder dysfunction resulted in
his recognition of the non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder, now
called the "Hinman syndrome," that provided new concepts
for treatment of these children. Clinical and laboratory work
has resulted in the publication of over 250 papers. Hinman edited
a comprehensive book, Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy, and
he has personally written three definitive Atlases, Atlas
of Urologic Surgery (now undergoing a second edition and
translated into German, Italian, Spanish and Chinese), Atlas
of UroSurgical Anatomy and Atlas of Pediatric Urologic Surgery,
all with original drawings in conjunction with illustrator Paul
Stempen.
