Abstract
Ileal pouch anal anastomosis is the procedure of choice for most patients undergoing proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis and a proportion of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. Since its first description in 1978, there has been evolution and refinement in the technical aspects of ileoanal pouch construction. This has been facilitated by advancements in stapler technology, and an increased focus on functional outcome.
