Big picture
| Time period | Development summary |
|---|---|
| 19th century | The late century sees rapid advances in the understanding of the physiology and biochemistry of the digestive tract.[1] |
| 1960s | Societies of endoscopy become widely established and provided, for persons in gastroenterology training, courses in the appropriate indications for endoscopic investigation and formal teaching of the techniques involved.[2] |
