Abstract
This chapter aims to illustrate the holistic approach undertaken by the pouch nurse practitioner (PNP) when imparting information, in order for patients to understand both the anatomical and psychological changes involved following restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with ileal pouch anal anastomosis. The PNP is an advocate, mediating between the medical and surgical teams and is in an ideal position to assist in managing patient expectations of living with an ileoanal pouch. Advanced nursing skills are essential in supporting the patient to cope with a temporary ileostomy, altered bowel function and potential complications, in order to improve overall quality of life for those contemplating RPC.
