Overview
The word ileus is derived from the Greek word "είλειν" which means to twist. Gallstone ileus was first described by Thomas Bartholin in 1654. The effect of splanchnic nerves on intestinal peristalsis was discovered by Bayliss and Starling in 1899. Later in 1958, Robertson, Eddy and Vosseler delineated a case of ileus, complicated by cecal perforation.
Historical Perspective
- The word "ileus" is derived from the Greek word "είλειν" which means to twist. The word "είλειν" also gave rise to the section of the intestine termed as the "ileum".
- In 1654, Thomas Bartholin was the first to describe a case of gallstone ileus in a necroscopy study.[1]
- In 1899, Bayliss and Starling demonstrated a relationship between splanchnic nerves ablation and intestinal peristalsis improvement, in postoperative status.[2]
- In 1958, Robertson, Eddy and Vosseler were the first to describe a case of adynamic ileus associated with cecal perforation.[3]
