George Berci: Past, Present, and Future

Author: L. Morgenstern

Published in: Surgical Endoscopy | Special Issue 2/2006

Abstract

Dr. George Berci’s contributions to the art and science of endoscopy and laparoscopy have continued unabated for nearly half a century. Fundamental advances in optics, illumination, television application, instrumentation, and operative radiology were either fostered or initiated by him, culminating in the advanced state of the technology as it is known today. As a creative force and catalytic influence, he has been a true pioneer.
