Overview

First intervention for esophaegeal stricture was done in the 17 century by whalebone. The first bougienage was performed in 1801. In 1868, esophagoscope was developed for the first time. In 1877, first surgical resection for esophageal carcinoma was performed by Vincenz Czerny. The first stent was introduced in 1990.

Outbreaks

  • There have been no outbreaks of esophageal stricture.
