Overview
Alessandro Benedetti was the first to give a detalied description of stomach in 1947. In 1543, Vesalius, a Belgian anatomist was the first to describe the anatomy of the esophagus. In 1682, D Zollikofer was the first to perform sclerotherapy by injecting an acid into a vein to induce thrombus formation. Asklepios was the first to describe association between GI bleeding and peptic ulcer disease.
