  • Title: [Heidelberg polyposis register. Experiences with ileoanal pouch in familial adenomatous polyposis coli (FAP): the ileoanal anastomosis problem zone].
    Author: Tandara A, Kadmon M, Stern J, Herfarth C.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1998; 115():1411-3. PubMed ID: 9931897.
    Abstract:
    Restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the therapy of choice for the prophylactic treatment of FAP. Despite maximal radicality, we frequently observed remaining rectal mucosa and in some cases even adenomas at the pouch-anal anastomosis. Therefore, we changed our postoperative care by adding a yearly proctoscopy to regular pouchoscopies.
