Are you looking for an alternative to a permanent ileostomy? A J-pouch procedure (also known as pelvic pouch, ileo pouch or ileal pouch) may be the answer.
Living with chronic pain, keeping up with taking numerous medications and being tied to the restroom is no way to live. After having a J-pouch procedure, patients regain control over their bowel movements, choose when to use the restroom and resume a normal life.
Cleveland Clinic has performed more J-pouch procedures than any other hospital in the country. It also is the largest national referral center for repairing failed pelvic pouches.
