In 1776 the first successful operation was performed, but at the time there was no bag used, just sponges and straps. In 1795 (according to the Atlas of Intestinal Stomas) a man named Daguescea used a leather bag with a patient he had given an "artificial anus." It wasn't until 1934 that the Koenig-Rutzen patent was applied for, which was the first in the wave of better ways to treat ostomy patients.
