What is a pouch redo?

I read alot of posts about some people having a redo. What exactly is that and what was the reason for doing it?

Pouch redo is the same as pouch reconstruction. The only reason anyone would have it done is pouch failure (pouch complications that do not respond to any treatments and quality of life is such that the pouch must be removed and replaced, or removed and revert to permanent ostomy).

Essentially, it is a last resort, and not always an option.
