Reply to "Pouch removal surgery"

I had my J pouch removed, bottom sewn shut and a BCIR constructed in the same surgery.  The total time for surgery was about 6 hours.  This time included about 2 hours for removal of dense adhesions from prior surgeries.  I do not think there is a “standard” time for these operations since it is often unknown what the surgeon will find once he gets inside.  What procedures other than J pouch and anus removal are you having?
