Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Ileal‐pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is most commonly performed after total proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. Small‐bowel obstruction is one of the complications that can occur years after the operation, but intestinal obstruction due to volvulus of the J pouch is a rare condition. We report a case of recurrent volvulus in a patient who had undergone IPAA after total proctocolectomy for cancer of the rectum and multiple colonic polyps. The patient underwent laparoscopic rectopexy and had no recurrence of volvulus.
