What is a surgical pouch made of?
The pouch is made by taking the end of the small intestine and sewing or stapling it into a “J” shape. The pouch is then pulled through the pelvis and sewn to the anal sphincter. That is why it is commonly referred to as the “pullthrough” procedure. The IPAA is a major operation.
