Overview

The history of gastric dumping syndrome goes back over a hundred years. Over the years, various methods have been developed to detect it. It was initially described after bariatric surgery but later was found to be present in non-surgical causes as well.

History

1913, the symptoms of rapid emptying of the stomach after surgery was first described by Hertz^[1]
1920, the term “dumping” was made known by Andrew and Mix^[2]
1948, a British surgeon named Dr. A Hedely Visick developed a classification for dumping syndrome. This classification is based on the severity of the disease^[3]
1970, a Norwegian doctor named Dr. Helge Sigstad developed a diagnostic index for dumping syndrome. This index helps distinguish dumping syndrome from non-dumping cases
2008, a Belgium doctor named Dr. Joris Arts developed a scoring system using a questionnaire for dumping syndrome. This questionnaire helps distinguish early dumping syndrome from late dumping syndrome^[3]^[4]
