Abstract
Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) allows restoration of continence in select patients with ulcerative colitis but is associated with significant morbidity. Well-known complications following IPAA include pouchitis, anastomotic leak, and small bowel obstruction. Obstruction secondary to ileal pouch volvulus is exceedingly rare. We report a case of ileal pouch volvulus, which occurred secondary to internal hernia. Radiographic and endoscopic identification of volvulus allowed for early operative management and pouch salvage.
