From Ileostomyoptions.com, I've read that the original Kock pouches had some initial problems & that docs were not even recommending it. That site also indicated that a change done to the Kock pouch resolved these initial problems due to a major modification which created an intestinal collar to wrap around the outside of the valve mechanism to keep it in a stable position. This modified Kock procedure is called the Barnettt Continent Intestinal Reservior. I'm wondering if anyone has any further information on this new procedure, and if it is in fact, an improvement over the original Kock Pouch.

Dr. Schiller does the Barnett (BCIR). The site you mentioned is his site.
I have good things about him. If you google BCIR you will get there site.
I had my original Kock, done in1979, for 24 years. I have another done in Jan '06 by Dr. Fazio, who is terrific! There have been so many advancements in the Kock , that there is a small failure rate.
If you do searches, what you will find are testimonial sites to the bcir along with clininc/doctor bios. You will not find that for the Kock.
However, if you want more info on the Kock check this site, along with www.jpouch.org. and http://www.ostomates.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl (Shaz's board).
do a search for Kock pouch. Hope this helps

Bob,
The BCIR is just a variation of the Kock Pouch, the former done origionally by Dr. Barnett and the Kock done by Dr. Kock. They basically are the same, both continent ileostomies. The differences are in the design of the valve and stoma.
I have had my Kock Pouch since 1990, done by Dr. Fazio at the Cleveland Clinic. At that time, I got better recommendations than those for the BCIR.

Hi Folks,
I am new here. Just wanted to say I had the regular ileostomy until I was about 31....am 47 now. I had the BCIR because they said it had about a 98% success rate and was much better than the Koch pouch. Barnett did it himself....I was one of the first 100 to have it done. I am SOOOOO GLAD!!! I went thru all that pain so I could wear a bikini, go skinny dipping, have the wild and fun life that I lead. I am extremely active, workout 3x a week, dance 3x a week, do Bikram (hot yoga...sweat a LOT) 3 x a week. Have a great sex life....when I have a partner...or just decide to have a fling. I have not had one problem ever with this surgery.....have never returned to any doctor or hospital for anything regarding my digestive system. I eat really healthy food....do whatever I want. I just finished rapelling from a building in downtown Austin (where I live) for a site specific dance audition. I wear revealing dance clothes and get lots of compliments. I may sound somewhat vain but what can I say....I waited a long time to be able to excersize my vanity (of course I have my limits...my spiritual life is more important...but I think you can understand better than most folks what I am talking about). Anyway....I am so grateful for this surgery and have heard it is the most successful of all of these types. I highly recommend it.
