COMPLICATIONS RELATED TO DIFFERENT CONTINENCE MECHANISMS IN ILEOCECAL RESERVOIRS

Abstract

In situ appendix and intussuscepted ileal valve techniques are satisfactory in providing ileocecal reservoir continence. Besides the known advantages of the appendix as the primary reconstructive approach, the treatment of subsequent complications is simple. Therefore, whenever an appropriate appendix is encountered it should be the intestinal segment of choice in forming a continence mechanism.
