Overview

The concept of pancreas and pancreatic duct was first described by Johannes Wirsung of Padua in 1642. In 1761, Giovanni Morgagni described the clinical syndrome of severe upper abdominal pain, vomiting, and collapse as the presentation of chronic pancreatitis. He is also credited with the earliest recognition of cancer of the pancreas. In 1948, Eliason and Welty described distal pancreatectomy (DP). In 1980, Beger described duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) technique for chronic pancreatitis to decrease the morbidity of pancreatic head resection.

Historical Perspective

The historical landmarks in the diagnostic evaluation and management of acute pancreatitis are as follows:[1][2]
