1. Describe the open and laparoscopic techniques of ileo-anal pouch reconstruction. 2. Review imaging techniques used for assessing the ileo-anal pouch for complications. 3. Illustrate selected complications of ileo-anal pouch reconstruction and their imaging findings.

Ileo-anal pouch reconstruction can be performed utilizing open or newer laparoscopic techniques. This presentation will describe the surgical technique for ileo-anal pouch reconstruction, and review imaging studies used to evaluate ileo-anal pouches for post-operative and long term complications. Examples of the more commonly described complications such as pouch leak and fistula will be discussed, as well as some more unusual complications such as volvulus. The importance and limitations of fluoroscopic-guided and CT contrast pouchograms in correctly identifying complications will be illustrated.
