Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis by stapling technique.
2012
: An ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) has become the gold standard procedure for ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis coli. Construction of an ileal pouch reservoir is now standard, usually in the form of J pouch. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis by stapling technique after total proctocolectomy. This prospective observational study of six patients who underwent proctocolectomy followed by an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis by stapling technique. Whole colon and rectum was mobilized and resected; J pouch created by GIA device and pouch-anal anastomosis done by staplers. All patients were continent. Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and ulcerative colitis showed excellent outcome regarding their disease after proctocolectomy. The ileal pouch-anal anastomosis has become a feasible alternative to the conventional permanent ileostomy after total proctocolectomy. Satisfactory results have been reported, although the procedure is associated with considerable morbidity. Excision of all the affected mucosa is an essential part of the procedure. Our experience with the ileal pouch-anal anastomosis using stapling devices without mucosectomy.
