[Long-term results of ileorectal anastomosis in the treatment of ulcerative colitis].

: During the period 1951 to 1987, ileorectal anastomosis in one or two seances, depending upon the activity of the disease, was carried out in 63 patients with ulcerative pancolitis. It is concluded that the operative procedure seen in relation to recent continence-retaining types of operation and despite the relatively great frequency of convertion of 20% will still constitute an alternative in surgical treatment of patients with ulcerative colitis.
