A German doctor named Kassmaul in the year 1805. It was large, inflexable and used the light of a candle for illumination. Aren't we glad we live in the 21st century.

Gastroenterology is meant to help people suffering from problems of the digestive system. But repeated procedures could be detrimental to the patient. As with any type of surgery, even done by endoscope, carries a risk such as bleeding and can in fact cause death.
1805, but it wasnt used as much becasue it was too bulky and hard to use as it wasnt flexible as todays. a German scientist invented it (forgot name) and used a candle at the end of the endoscope. it wasnt until the 1960's when optics were discovered that the endoscope became so popular.
