Rediversion with an ileostomy was a safe, important first step in pouch salvage, with subsequent surgery for noninflammatory indications showing significantly higher pouch salvage rates than for inflammatory complications. Overall, 52% of patients underwent successful pouch salvage after rediversion, with a 5-year pouch survival rate of 94.5% for noninflammatory indications. Rediversion can be a helpful strategy in managing failing ileoanal pouches, providing valuable insights into post-salvage outcomes.
