Dr. George Berci, Whose Innovations Changed Surgery, Dies at 103
Briefly

"Dr. Berci brought a precise eye and an inventor's zeal to innovations that enabled doctors to better visualize the bladder, colon, esophagus, and other body parts."
"His innovations were critical to the revolution in minimally invasive endoscopies and laparoscopies, which dramatically reduced the need for large surgical incisions."
"Working at a hospital in Melbourne, Australia, Dr. Berci adapted an existing miniaturized television camera, which he attached to an endoscope for better visualization."
