The history of oesophageal surgery is reviewed with particular reference to the early history of ingested foreign bodies, oesophagotomy and oesophageal stricture. Some emphasis is placed on those conditions, which are of particular significance in childhood. A brief mention is also made of the history of carcinoma of the oesophagus.
