Are you sure it was 1976? That other article I found said they celebrated the 40th anniversary of the first procedure on June 29th, 2018? If it was in 1976 at St Mark's hospital, why did they celebrate the 40th anniversary in 2018???

Cos they got it wrong.

I’ve not read the full article but it appears to be the Case Study of the procedure, which first appeared in the The British Medical Journal in July 1978,

At the top of page 3 of the PDF, there’s a Chart/Table which list patients which took part in the Case Study; Patient 1 it states an operation date of 9 July 1976 and other patients having their operation during 1977.

Unless, 1978 is when St. Marks began performing the procedure as an alternative to an ileostomy.
