Hi all, first time posting here.

I wanted to get more scientific information about J-pouch and wanted to know if there are any recent journals in the past 5 years that discuss the subject.

Anecdotes are okay, but not what I'm looking for.

Welcome from Oz 🇦🇺

What is it you are specifically looking for?

Successes, failures, post-op complaints.

There are no "scientific journals" here, just people's own firsthand experiences.

MEETANOSTOMATE REVIEW.


I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.


I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.


When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.


When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.


Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.


I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.


There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash.


Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.

Hmm... me thinks she's looking for medical journals? Those very specific journals on J-pouches from surgeons who do the operation.

The New England Medical Journal, for example.

All kinds of links to that subject via Google.

You will not find journals here. But in some way, we members write the book.

Now the short question: are you considering a J-pouch?

You won't need journals to make that decision.

You are in the right place for those answers.

Welcome and good luck.

Don't bother reading about it; personal reply, stay with the ileostomy.

I wouldn't do it if you have Crohn's disease because that can affect all through your digestive tract and your bowels and intestines. My surgeon told me that because of that, I wasn't a good candidate. I knew someone who had this done, and she had many problems and then actually died as a result. It sounds tempting, but you need to really check into this procedure before you do it.

I have a K pouch, and it changed my life. I had a conventional ileostomy for thirty years and converted to K pouch. I have met a few people with J pouch, and only one is happy. Several changed to K pouch. I would explore that too.

JWOCN, Journal of Wound Ostomy Continence Nursing, is one suggestion. World Journal of Colorectal Surgery is another. ASCRS, Annual Scientific Meeting, is the leading educational event in the field of colon and rectal surgery; they have a section on their site for patient resources. Hope this aligns with what you were asking!
