Abstract

Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) has undergone a progression of techniques over the last several decades. It was first described in 1978 by Sir Alan Parks in the British Medical Journal [1]. Although other types of pouches have been employed, such as the S-pouch and W-pouch, the J-pouch remains the most common pouch technique employed currently [2]. The creation of the pouch is commonly performed in 2 or 3 stages, although single stage creation has been described [3]. These stages typically include total abdominal colectomy (or subtotal colectomy), followed by restorative proctocolectomy with pouch creation with or without a diverting loop ileostomy, and then closure of the diverting loop ileostomy.
