“…Although indirect duodenoscopy was described by Hirschowitz, Balint, and Fulton (1962) and Burnett (1962) soon after the introduction of fibreoptics into gastrointestinal endoscopy (Hirschowitz, Curtiss, Peters, and Pollard (1958), and gastro-cameras designed for use within the duodenum were used (Matsunaga, 1962;Ishihara, 1962), it was not until later that direct vision fibreoptic duodenoscopes were developed (Takagi, 1969;Shindo, 1969). At the present time duodenoscopy comprises two distinct procedures: (1) examination of the duodenal bulb (bulboscopy); (2) distal duodenoscopy in which the papilla of Vater, the peri-ampullary region, and the duodenal loop can be examined.…”

SUMMARY Two-hundred fibreoptic examinations of the duodenal bulb were carried out on 149 patients. The importance of combining the initial examination with a general endoscopic survey of the oesophagus and stomach is stressed. At the present time full examination of the duodenal bulb requires the use of both a side-viewing and forward-viewing endoscope in more than a quarter of cases. The safety and acceptability to the patient of multiple endoscopic examinations carried out as an outpatient procedure has been demonstrated, and the value of the procedure in x-ray negative dyspepsia, in the follow up of ulcer therapy, and in acute upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage has been shown.

“…The distal‐lighted, rigid esophagoscope was invented by Chevalier Jackson more than a century ago, 1 and until the 1960s, with the introduction and popularization of flexible fiberoptic endoscopy, 2 , 3 esophagology was the domain of the otolaryngologist. In the last 50 years, other medical specialties (eg, pulmonology, pediatric surgery, gastroenterology) have joined in the evolution of aerodigestive tract endoscopy.…”
