Reply to "Older age: J-Pouch versus Ileostomy"

ShainyMember

i would have thought issues with a j pouch when you are very old are incontinence as your sphincter muscles weaken.

i dont think anyone has had a j pouch yet for 50 years.

as for ileostomy i would have thought the main challenge would be changing the bag if you are bed bound, but then emptying the pouch would also be tough.

to be honest im not qualified to answer this.

i think its fairly straight forward to go from pouch to ileostomy, but not to actually remove the pouch itself...
