Gastric dumping syndrome historical perspective
Introduction
Overview
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
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]
