| Popis: | Kock first described continent ileostomy for fecal diversion in 1969 as an alternative procedure to conventional ileostomy. Later, this procedure was replaced by restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis as the procedure of choice. The main reasons for its virtual abandonment include technical difficulty, high morbidity, and the need for a stoma. To our knowledge, this report is the first published case of successful enterolith destruction and retrieval from a Kock pouch, using a Holmium: yttrium aluminium garnet laser. This outpatient procedure can avoid the morbidity and cost of a laparotomy. |
