I don’t know what month.

I believe, during 1976, Dr. Alan Parks combined three previously performed procedures into one and came up with the W Pouch; the outcome of which was first published in a medical journal during 1978.

Prof John Nicholls, also at St. Marks Hospital, continued to develop and perfect the procedure, which I assume transpired into what we now know as the J Pouch.

However, Dr. Rudolf Nissen performed some kind of Pouch surgery as early as the 1930’s,

Developments of such a procedure continued throughout the 1940’s, 50 and 60’s; with the creation of the the Kock Pouch by the late 1960’s.

I never knew about John Nicholls, I only read that Sir Alan Parks invented the J-pouch in 1978. I see others have continued to work on it over the years too. Before it was called the j-pouch, it was called "Parks Pouch" I see Lol
