Yeah, I did thanks. 
  Although I’m sure the Parks’ Pouch was first performed earlier than 1978.
I believe the reference to 1978 is when the procedure and the associated study was shared with the medical profession  within a medical journal.

  I’ve been searching the internet to find the original medical article I read when I first became aware of the J pouch but although it’s such a phenomenal procedure, which has not only transformed surgical practice but also the lives of those suffering from UC; there appears to be very little available; and what I do find, appears to be reworkings of the same paper.

More than likely you are right. I am sure they had to do tests to make sure it would work before they did it at the St. Mark Hospital. Too bad we do not know much about it before 1978. He changed the lives of people and went down into history!
