  • Title: Role of ileostomy in restorative proctocolectomy.
    Author: Pellino G, Sciaudone G, Canonico S, Selvaggi F.
    Journal: World J Gastroenterol; 2012 Apr 21; 18(15):1703-7. PubMed ID: 22553394.
    Abstract:
    Restorative proctocolectomy (RP) is the treatment of choice in patients affected with refractory ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis. Surgery in elective settings is often performed in 2 stages, fashioning an ileostomy which is closed 2-3-mo later. It is still debated whether omitting ileostomy could offer advantages in the management of patients undergoing RP.
