    Abstract:
    Functional variables after coloanal anastomosis or anastomosis with J pouch were investigated in 40 patients in a prospective randomized study. Continence for liquids and gas control were superior after J pouch anastomosis compared with coloanal reconstruction. The neorectal capacity was higher after J pouch anastomosis. The perception threshold for stool filling was higher in patients with J pouch resembling those values observed preoperatively. Quality of life was improved in subjects with with J pouch, although differences did not reach a significant level.
