  • Title: Endorectal ileal pull-through for ulcerative colitis and polyposis in children.
    Author: Soave F.
    Journal: Dis Colon Rectum; 1985 Feb; 28(2):76-80. PubMed ID: 3971810.
    Abstract:
    The marked reluctance to leaving a permanent ileostomy in a child is understandable; too often, however, before surgical therapy is accepted, the patient is permitted to decline to a hopeless state from which restoration is virtually impossible without operation. Endorectal ileal pull-through provides an attractive alternative. From 1972 to 1982 at Children's Hospital, G. Gaslini Institute, Genoa, nine patients with ulcerative colitis and eight patients with familial polyposis received this operation. Results are encouraging and support the more frequent use of this alternative.
