- Abstract
The conventional methods of making an ileal J pouch require an enterotomy to introduce a linear stapler. We devised a new surgical technique that removes any need for this enterotomy by using both circular and linear staplers. We applied this method to two patients who underwent a total colectomy for ulcerative colitis and succeeded in making a J pouch without difficulty. This procedure may represent an improved method of making a J pouch. Copyright © 2006 S. Karger AG, Basel
