A simplified technique for ileal J-pouch construction

F Michelassi et al. Surg Gynecol Obstet. 1993 Mar.

Abstract

A stapling technique for construction of an ileal J-pouch is presented. The technique is simple, minimizes the chances for pelvic contamination and avoids midpouch enterotomies. By postponing the performance of the apical enterotomy until after the pouch is in the definitive position, the apical enterotomy is placed exactly where needed to facilitate the subsequent ileoanal anastomosis.
