Abstract

Endoscopy emerged as a field of study as early as the 1800s with surgeons as significant innovators and visionaries from the beginning. Seminal work by surgeons has been instrumental in expanding both understanding and therapy of gastrointestinal diseases enhancing the care of patients. This review will explore the history of endoscopy in surgical practice, discuss the interfusion of endoscopic and intraperitoneal procedures, and advocate for the routine use of endoscopy in modern surgical practice.
