EAU History Office curator Dr. Rob Schipper (NL) and historian and author Mr. Loek Keizer (NL) talk about the earliest developments in endoscopy and how they dovetail with the rise of urology as a field.

Visit the EAU’s online European Museum of Urology for much more information on Bozzini and the first proto-endoscope and the further development of the Desormeaux endoscope.

Also mentioned in the conversation: the Josephinum in Vienna, Austria.
