- In 1592: Fabricius Aquapendente, an Italian surgeon used wax tampers to remove foreign bodies from the esophagus.
- In 1674: T. Willis, an English physician was the first to dilate the esophagus using whale bone.
- In 1764: Ludlow gave the first anatomic and pathophysiological description of pharyngoesophageal diverticulum.
- In 1806: Philipp Bozzini, a German physician developed an early endoscope, using a mirror and reflected light from a candle in an attempt to see the upper esophagus.
- In 1843: Switzer, a Denmark physician invented esophageal dilators.
