This study comprised 116 patients with either ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis, who were treated from 1983 to 1990. The patients were subjected to total colectomy followed by formation of an ileoanal reservoir (J-pouch). In a retrospective study the radiological findings of the J-pouch and the reservoir related complications are presented and a description of the applied technique for pouchography is given. A total of 513 radiological investigations were performed--median two per patient (range: 1-44). All 116 patients were subjected to pouchography while 59 patients additionally underwent conventional X-ray investigations, 42 patients were referred to ultrasound and ten patients to CT. Fourty-five percent of the patients presented no radiological complications at all. Patients with a normal primary pouchogram showed a significantly lower risk of long term complications related to the pouch. Pouchography was a useful method for excluding pouch pathology before restoring intestinal continuity as well as showing fistulas or cavities. In cases of leakage and especially stenosis and pouchitis pouchography was, however, less reliable. Ultrasound examination combined with CT-scan was beneficial in diagnosing abscesses.
