Abstract

Ever since he had the extraordinary opportunity to view — through a trauma-induced gastrocutaneous fistula — the gastric lining of his patient Alexis St. Martin, Dr. William Beaumont has been admired by all who seek better ways to view the interior of the gastrointestinal tract. It was not until 1958 that the modern age of gastrointestinal endoscopy began with the introduction by Hirschowitz (Hirschowitz et al. 1958) of a prototype fiberoptic gastroscope. Previously, Schindler had developed first the rigid, and then the semiflexible gastroscope, the latter using a series of lenses and prisms. With the development of coherent, insulated optical glass fibers, however, the path was cleared for construction of a fully flexible endoscope.

I had opportunities for the examination of the interior of the stomach, and its secretions, which has never before been so fully offered to any one. This most important organ, its secretions and its operations, have been submitted to my observation in a very extraordinary manner...
