Default Are strictures something new in last few years

Since I found the board I see frequent mention of "oh it sounds like a stricture." This puzzles me. Are strictures something that have come from a newer version of RNY or different techniques than six years ago?
I'd never heard of them until I came to TT and the frequency of people suggesting a stricture as a common cause to questions people have is baffling.
Does anyone know when strictures became commonplace and frequent?
