title: The Kock continent ileostomy--radiology of dysfunctions.
abstract: Some patients who have undergone coloproctectomy due to colitis or polyposis with a continent ileostomy constructed ad modum Kock reveal postoperative, secondary abnormalities and dysfunction. The radiological appearance of the pouch in six such patients who complained of incontinence and/or difficulties to catheterize is reported and the findings are correlated with the findings at subsequent surgery and/or endoscopy. It can be concluded that radiology can contribute substantially to the morphodynamic assessment of patients with dysfunction of a Kock ileostomy whereas endoscopy easily depicts mucosal lesions.
