Adenocarcinoma in the Anal Canal after Restorative Proctocolectomy with Ileal J-pouch for Ulcerative Colitis

Ileal-pouch-anal anastomosis after restorative proctocolectomy in patients with ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Restorative proctocolectomy is the "golden standard" in surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. The two alternative techniques of ileal-pouch-anal anastomosis include hand-made suture and double line stapled suture. The aim of the study was the analysis of postoperative complications and functional results of the two types of anastomosis. M...

Progress with the pouch--restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis.

Laparoscopic proctocolectomy with ileal j-pouch anal anastomosis in children.

BACKGROUND/AIMS We aimed to evaluate postoperative fecal incontinence scales of children who underwent laparoscopic proctocolectomy and ileal J-pouch anastomosis for familial adenomateous polyposis (FAP) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fecal incontinence scores were collected at 3 months post-surgery. A retrospective chart review was also performed to obtain the de...

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for restorative proctocolectomy with ileal J pouch-anal anastomosis.

Restorative proctocolectomy (RP) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the surgical procedure of choice for chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC). Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) has been shown to have its greatest merits in colorectal procedures involving the pelvis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of RP with IPAA using an innovative robotic techn...

Outcome of total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis

PURPOSE We evaluated the risk factors for late complications and functional outcome after total proctocolectomy (TPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS Pre- and postoperative clinical status and follow-up data were obtained for 55 patients who underwent TPC with IPAA between 1999 and 2010. The median follow-up duration was 4.17 years. Late complicat...
