Assessment of anorectal function after restorative proctocolectomy with ileoanal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis and polyposis coli.

Adenocarcinoma below stapled ileoanal anastomosis after restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis.

A case of adenocarcinoma arising in a 39-year-old patient after restorative proctocolectomy is reported. The patient underwent an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis with double-stapled technique for severe ulcerative colitis 18 years earlier, without evidence of associated neoplasm or dysplasia in operative specimen. After endoscopic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, the patient was submitted to excision ...

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...

Ileoanal Anastomosis after Proctocolectomy

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

Quality of life following restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary disease of the colon. Both FAP and long standing UC carry an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). At present, restorative proctocolectomy (RP) is the surgical treatment of choice for UC and for all patients with FAP. RP aims to remove the entire diseased colon and resto...
