Abstract
The Kock continent ileostomy reservoir was designed in an attempt to overcome many of the problems associated with the conventional ileostomy. An account is given of the technical developments of this procedure since its inception. An intussusception valve within the reservoir is necessary for continence. However, valve failure is a common problem and the developments in construction which have helped to overcome this are described. The major complications associated with the continent ileostomy are discussed in detail, and an attempt is made to define its present role in the treatment of inflammatory disease of the colon.
