In 1896 he relocated to the hospital in Braunschweig as head of its surgical department. He was elected president of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Chirurgie, but died soon afterwards of sepsis, contacted when operating on a patient with a gunshot wound. He was especially interested in abdominal surgery, and introduced a transverse sub-umbilical incision referred to as "Sprengel's incision". In 1891 he described a congenital disorder affecting the scapula that is now known as "Sprengel's deformity". He described the condition in a paper titled Die angeborene Verschiebung des Schulterblattes nach oben ("The congenital upward displacement of the scapula"). His book Appendicitis (1906) was later translated into English. Another noted work by Sprengel was Über den Begriff 'Bruchanlage' in der Praxis (1909). (en)
