Excision of a failing pelvic pouch is often a great disappointment for the patient. It is also an unfortunate decision considering that a significant length of terminal ileum is sacrificed. Transformation of the pouch to a continent ileostomy is an alternative. Five patients with a malfunctioning pelvic pouch have had their pouch converted to a continent ileostomy. The operative technique is described.
