Overview
John Jones was the first to perform a gastric resection in animals. In 1881, Billroth’s first human operation has been done. In 1897, Schlatter has done the first esophago-enterostomy after gastrectomy. Between 1884 to 1929, Finney’s and Rienhoff were the first to perform partial gastrectomy showing less side effects and less mortality rates.
Gastric cancer historical perspective
- Around 1800, Dr. John Jones was the first to perform a gastric resection in animals.
- Between 1817 and 1873, Gussenbauer and Winiwarter studied the pathology of carcinoma of the pylorus. Results proved that the tumor could be cured by resection.
- In 1881, Billroth’s first human operation has been done. Patient named Therese Heller had been suffering from typical symptoms of a pyloric stenosis for 3.5 months.
- In 1885, Billroth developed a second resection method. He used anterior gastro-enterostomy that was called Billroth II operation.
- In 1897, Schlatter has done the first esophago-enterostomy after gastrectomy.
- In 1898, a successful gastrectomy was performed on a patient without any complications by Mcdonald.
- Between 1884 to 1929, Finney’s and Rienhoff were the first to perform partial gastrectomy showing fewer side effects and fewer mortality rates.
- In 1940s, Coller, Kay, and McIntyre published a study of all regional lymph nodes.
- Between November 1950 and January 1953, Sunderland et al. studied lymph node metastasis associated with gastric cancer.
