Ileal-pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is most commonly performed after total proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. Small-bowel obstruction is one of the complications that can occur years after the operation, but intestinal obstruction due to volvulus of the J pouch is a rare condition. We report a case of recurrent volvulus in a patient who had undergone IPAA after total proctocolectomy for cancer of the rectum and multiple colonic polyps. The patient underwent laparoscopic rectopexy and had no recurrence of volvulus.
