Reply to "J pouch clarification"

Yes, if you have too much stricturing in your colon, they can remove it. I am not sure how much colon is needed to do a colonic j-pouch, so that may still be an option.

 

That, none of the options are guaranteed, as it all depends on your individual anatomy and if there are internal issues, like adhesions, that may interfere with other surgery. BCIR is not done in very many centers. The Kock pouch is more common, but even that is not done in many hospitals. If you go to the K-pouch Forum, there is a list of surgeons that do it.
