Laparoscopic ventral pouch pexy with acellular dermal matrix (ADM)—a novel technique for the treatment of full-thickness pouch prolapse after restorative proctocolectomy and j-pouch

Purpose Ileal pouch prolapse is a rare complication after j-pouch formation with an incidence of about 0.3%. However, if a pouch prolapse occurs, it can be a debilitating complication for the patient. Full-thickness pouch prolapse usually warrants surgical repair as reported by Sagar and Pemberton (Br J Surg 99(4):454–468, 2012) and Sherman et al. (Inflamm Bowel Dis 20(9):1678–1685, 2014). This report presents our first experience with laparoscopic ventral pouch pexy with acellular dermal matrix (ADM).
