Abstract
Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (J pouch) has become the standard restorative procedure following total proctocolectomy. Yet, lengthening maneuvers to ensure an adequate tension-free anastomosis are crucial to minimizing complications and ensuring appropriate pouch function. This chapter will discuss what steps to take should the pouch not reach.
