Timeline

2017

Wickham died of heart disease on 26 October 2017. He is quoted as saying "I hope our efforts over these years may have had some small impact in reducing unnecessary surgical injury to our ever trusting patients."

1992

After his retirement in 1992, Wickham invented the Syclix, a surgical instrument with a pen-like grip to grab tissue. For this he was awarded the Horners Award in 2006 and for overall outstanding contributions to laparoscopic urology, the Cheselden medal from the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2013.

1991

Wickham is considered the "godfather" of robotics in urological surgery and also coined the term "minimally invasive surgery". In April 1991, soft tissue was removed from a patient by an active robot, the PROBOT. Wickham, along with Malcolm Coptcoat, performed the first European laparoscopic kidney removal at King's College Hospital, London in 1991; the first laparoscopic nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in the world. He encouraged international networking amongst urologists and founded the European Intrarenal Surgical Society (EIRSS) in 1983 with Peter Alken of Mainz, and Joe Segura from the Mayo Clinic. He was an early advocate for the use of percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the United Kingdom, insisting that National Health Service patients and urology trainees have access to the secured Dornier HM1 Lithotripsy machine in the private sector. He was also the first to introduce extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy to the UK.

1985

In 1985 he was awarded the BAUS's St Peter's Medal.

1927

John Ewart Alfred Wickham (10 December 1927 – 26 October 2017) was a British urologist and surgeon, who was a pioneer of keyhole surgery and the autonomous transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) robot, foreseeing the subsequent revolution in robotic surgery.

John Wickham was born on 10 December 1927 to Alfred Wickham and Hilda (née Cummins). Alfred died when John was five years old, which resulted in a move to Littlehampton. He was educated at Chichester Grammar School where his interest in engines and cars developed. Later, Wickham gained a place at St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical School to study medicine.
