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.
