Halban is the author of numerous highly valuable works. His works written together with the Viennese anatomist Tandler, "Topographie des weiblichen Ureters" (Vienna, 1901) and "Anatomie und Aetiologie des Genitalprolapses beim Weibe" (Vienna, 1907), are widely known. Halban was one of the first to develop female endocrinology (ovary and placenta). Most recently, together with Seitz, he published a comprehensive guide to obstetrics and female diseases, built on new principles, as evidenced by its title "Biologie und Pathologie des Weibes" (Vol. I-VIII, Vienna, 1924-1928).
