quote from "Operative Pediatric Surgery" by Davenport, Mark; Geiger, James -

"The thyroglossal duct was first described in 1723 by Vater, who called it the “lingual duct.” It was later referred to as the “canal of His” following his descriptions in 1855 and 1891. Walter Ellis Sistrunk (1880–1933, American surgeon at the Mayo Clinic, MN) described the basis for the current operation, removing not only the cyst but also the antecedent pathway of thyroid descent to the back of tongue and middle of the hyoid bone."

Abraham Vater (1684–1751)


Wilhelm His Sr. (1831–1904)


Walter Ellis Sistrunk (1880-1933)
