Overview

Gastrointestinal perforation historical perspective

  • Boerhaave syndrome was first described by the physician Herman Boerhaave, Professor of Medicine at Leiden University, in a publication entitled “History of a Grievous Disease Not Previously Described”.[1]
  • Dr. Herman Boerhaave (1668-1738) described esophageal rupture and the subsequent mediastinal sepsis based upon his careful clinical and autopsy findings. Hundreds of references have since been written about Boerhaave's syndrome.[2]
  • Hundred years ago, polish clinical researcher professor W.Jaworski was the first to describe the spiral-shaped microorganism at Cracow Jagiellonian University
  • In 1586, Marcellus Donatus of Mantua described gastric ulcers by performing autopsies
  • In 1688, Johannes von Murault gave detailed description of duodenal ulcers.
  • In 1821, Nepveu found a relationship between gastritis and gastric cancer.
  • In 1875, G.Bottcher and M. Letulle hypothesize that ulcers are caused by bacteria.
  • In 1889, Walery Jaworski found spiral organisms in sediment washings of humans and proposed that these organisms may be involved with gastric disease.[3]
  • In late 1970, J.R Warren, a pathologist in Perth, Australia found the appearance of spiral bacteria overlying gastric mucosa.
  • In 1589, Dr. Hildanus was the first physician to discover diverticular lesion in the colon.[4]
  • In the 1700s, Alexis Littre was the first to describe diverticular diseases when he described a diverticular hernia.
  • In 1812, Dr. Meckel described the diverticulum now known as Meckel's diverticulum.
  • In 1902, Dr. Deetz provided a full description of infection of the diverticulum.
