  • Title: [Continence-preserving proctocolectomy using an ileum-pouch-anal anastomosis].
    Author: Luder PJ, Lerut JP, Krähenbühl L, Gertsch P, Huber A.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1991 Jun 29; 121(26):984-7. PubMed ID: 1862315.
    Abstract:
    Between 1985 and 1990 restorative proctocolectomy with ileo-anal anastomosis was performed in 19 patients (in 15 cases for ulcerative colitis, in 2 cases for familial adenomatous polyposis and in 2 cases for multiple synchronous colorectal carcinomas). Restoration of intestinal continuity was performed by ileo-anal J-pouch (j-shaped ileal reservoir) by the method of UTSUNOMIYA. Eleven patients were operated upon in a two-stage procedure and 8 patients in a three-stage procedure. There was no mortality and no pouch had to be removed. Mean bowel frequency is 5-6 times during daytime and 0-once during nighttime, a fact which speaks for the excellent quality of life in these patients.
