commentary on laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy without diverting ileostomy

Restorative proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis coexisting with colorectal cancer.

The aim of this study was to assess whether restorative proctocolectomy was suitable as an initial procedure for selected familial adenomatous polyposis patients with coexisting colorectal cancer. Six malignancy patients who underwent restorative proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis were reviewed. At the time of restorative proctocolectomy, cancer was not suspected in four patient...

Columnar cuff cancer after restorative proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis.

AIMS Restorative proctocolectomy with ileoanal anastomosis is one of the treatments of choice for patients suffering from familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). However, any residual rectal mucosa left behind after mucosectomy is at risk for the development of neoplasia. CASE REPORT A 31 year old male patient with FAP underwent restorative proctocolectomy with a pelvic ileal pouch-anal anastom...

Laparoscopic Restorative Total Proctocolectomy With Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

BACKGROUND Familial adenomatous polyposis is a hereditary disease characterized by the presence of thousands of colonic adenomas, which, if untreated, invariably undergo malignant transformation. Because this disease manifests at a young age, the laparoscopic approach to perform surgery would be desirable due to its cosmetic benefits. We describe our experience with this procedure and review th...

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...

Portal Vein Thrombosis after Restorative Proctocolectomy for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis and Sigmoid Cancer

Postoperative portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is rare, but has been described after various open as well as minimal access abdominal operations, especially splenectomy and colorectal surgical procedures. We report the case of a 39-year-old female who underwent restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for familial adenomatous polyposis with sigmoid cancer. She presented 14 days ...
