Ileoanal Anastomosis (J-Pouch) Surgery may be considered for selected patients with conditions such as ulcerative colitis or certain inherited colorectal disorders requiring removal of the colon and rectum. The procedure is often performed in stages, particularly when the patient's health or nutritional condition requires a temporary ileostomy. During surgery, the small intestine is formed into a pouch and connected to the anal canal to restore intestinal continuity.
