    Author: Taylor TV, Bhandarkar DS, Seehra HK.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; ; 51(3):108-110. PubMed ID: 8193832.
    Abstract:
    In the past decade pelvic pouch procedure (restorative proctocolectomy) has become the surgical treatment of choice for ulcerative colitis and most cases of familial adenomatous polyposis. It is an operation that eradicates disease yet restores gastrointestinal continuity and maintains continence.
