The gastrostomy tube (G-tube) was first introduced in the 19th century, with significant contributions made by various surgeons over time. However, it is often attributed to Dr. Rudolf Nissen, who popularized the use of the G-tube for feeding patients who were unable to eat by mouth in the mid-20th century. The technique and design have evolved since then, but the foundational concept dates back to earlier surgical practices.
