 Herein are the observations of the ileoanal pouch from the ’heyday’ of pouch surgery; the volume of pouches was at its height as the backlog of unoperated pouch patients were referred for restorative operation. It also was the time of peak interest in pelvic physiology laboratory testing. The article presents the physiologic measurements observed in the formative years of the ileoanal pouch; this work is not apt to ever be repeated. In it is the groundwork for the increased popularity of the double-stapled technique from both the physiologic and clinical point of view.
