George Berci, who has died aged 103, was a Hungarian Jew who escaped the
Holocaust and later pioneered “minimally invasive” or “keyhole” surgery,
developing laparoscopic and other endoscopic techniques that are now in
widespread use to diagnose and treat diseases of the body’s internal
organs...

Berci’s work transformed surgery, allowing surgeons to remove diseased
organs and rectify internal disorders with rapid recovery times
