Guy LeRoy Hunner (1868–1957) was an American physician, surgeon, urologist and gynecologist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland.
Hunner received his M.D. in 1897 as a member of the first graduating class of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He was the first resident under Howard Atwood Kelly to have graduated from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Hunner became the chief resident of the School of Gynecology, and was the Chief of the Urological Division of the Department of Gynecology until his retirement at age 70.[1]
Hunner was the first to describe the radial method of cauterization for chronic inflammation of the cervix[2] in 1906, and was the first to describe interstitial cystitis as a distinct disease entity in 1915.[3]
Hunner was born in Alma, Wisconsin.
