Abstract :
Although enteral feeding and nutritional delivery by
enema are well known to exist since ancient times, the old
history of gastric feeding is less investigated. Most reports
of the history of gastric feeding mention Capivacceus as
the first one who reported the use of orogastric feeding in
1598 .
