Abstract

Sir Alan Guyatt Parks (1920–1982) received his undergraduate education at Brasenose College, Oxford, then with benefit of a Rockefeller scholarship completed his medical training at the Johns Hopkins University in the US and later at Guy’s Hospital in London where his principal research centered on the anatomy of the anal canal. In 1978, as consultant surgeon to the St. Mark’s Hospital and in collaboration with R. J. Nichols, he devised a sphincter-saving ileo-anal anastomosis and reservoir adapted to the surgical management of ulcerative colitis.
