Abstract

Introduction: Several configurations and techniques have been described to fashion an ileal pouch during the performance of a restorative proctectomy or proctocolectomy with ileo-anal anastomosis.

Methods: In this article, we describe a simplified J-pouch construction technique which is designed to avoid unnecessary enterotomies, facilitate the subsequent ileo-anal anastomosis and reduce potential contamination to the pelvis.
