Koeberlé specialized in abdominal surgery, in particular pioneer work involving ovariotomy and hysterectomy operations. He is also credited for developing a precursor of present-day surgical hemostats

During the latter part of his career he devoted his energies to poetry and archaeology. The Lycée Docteur-Koeberlé in his hometown of Sélestat is named in his honour.
