Abstract
A case of persistent ileitis following the refashioning of a Kock ileal pouch into a Brooke ileostomy for severe pouchitis is reported. Preserving the terminal ileum by a salvage procedure may not be a safe alternative to pouch excision with the formation of a new end ileostomy in the surgical management of pouchitis refractory to medical treatment.
