Reconstructive ileal pouch procedures are well-accepted alternatives to a permanent ileostomy in select patients requiring proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis and familial polyposis. Double-, triple-, and quadruple-loop and lateral isoperistaltic designs have been described; however, the ideal pouch capacity and configuration are still debatable. Evidence has been reported that improved functional results and lower stool frequency with less antidiarrheal medication can be achieved with larger volume reservoirs. We describe a new modification of a quadruple-loop pouch that has been successfully performed in 10 patients. This new approach to pouch construction produced excellent functional results 6 to 12 months after ileostomy takedown and was easier to construct and engage into the muscular cuff of the distal rectum than quadruple-loop pouches of equal length loops.
