Abstract
The efficacy of constructing an ileal pouch in association with an ileoanal anastomosis after mucosal proctectomy has been well established. Ordinarily, the pouch is fashioned at the time of mucosal proctectomy. This report describes a patient whose end ileostomy was successfully converted to a J-pouch 24 years after intersphincteric resection of his rectum for ulcerative colitis. Postoperative anal manometric data are presented, and the potential for applying this operation to other patients who have had previous intersphincteric rectal resections is discussed.
