“…Gustav Killian was the first to remove a foreign body (a bone) from the bronchus and in 1900 he succeeded, using a galvanocautery snare, in cutting in half a vulcanite dental plate that had become impacted deep in a patient’s esophagus. After the remarkable progress of endoscopy during the last 20 years of the nineteenth century, endoscopy made its marks in the first two decades of the twentieth century [ 175 , 176 ]. Wilhelm Brünings (1876–1958) of Jena, who had been Gustav Killian’s chief assistant, introduced the idea of double extension tubes to bronchoscopes and esophagoscopes in 1908.…”

In 2021, the German Society of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its foundation. The aim of this article is to present the main inventions and progress made in Germany before 1921, the date the society was founded. Three chronological periods are discernible: the history of otorhinolaryngology (ORL) in Germany until the beginning of the 19th century, focusing mainly on the development of scattered knowledge; the birth of the sub-specialties otology, laryngology (pharyngo-laryngology and endoscopy), and rhinology in the 19th century, combining advances in knowledge and implementation of academic structures; and the creation of the ORL specialty at the turn of the 20th century, mainly concentrating on academic organization and expansion. This period was crucial and allowed for the foundation of the German Society of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery on solid ground. Germany played an important role in the development and progress of ORL internationally in the 19th century with such great contributors as Anton von Tröltsch, Hermann Schwartze, Otto Körner, Rudolf Voltolini, and Gustav Killian to mention a few.

“…He was also impressed by Killian's removal of a foreign body using a bronchoscope, and in 1905 he started construction on one of his own design 8 . Chevalier Jackson began by practising on cadavers and then proceeded to refine his technique on anaesthetised dogs.…”

Chevalier Jackson: pioneer and protector of children

Chevalier Jackson was one of the greatest pioneers of otolaryngology. He was a pioneer of oesophagoscopy, bronchoscopy and the removal of foreign bodies. He changed the mortality rate for an airway foreign body from 98 per cent to a survival rate of 98 per cent. He became distressed by the number of preventable injuries in children from the ingestion of caustic substances, most commonly household lye. His experiences of children with oesophageal stricturing secondary to caustic ingestion moved him to start a campaign to force manufacturers to label all poisonous substances as such. This took him from the American Senate to the House of Representatives and back again; the Federal Caustic Poisons Act (1927) is still enforced today. In a career with over 400 publications, written during exacerbations of his pulmonary tuberculosis, his life story is a remarkable one, only part of which is widely known.
