Nope, your inguinal canal and the J-Pouch are a long way from each other. Should not have an effect at all. The stress of surgery and the effects of anaesthesia are the only things that might affect the pouch.

thanks / I take it when you say affecting the J pouch you don't mean damaging the J pouch

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Structurally your surgeon shouldn't be anywhere near the pouch.
