Abstract
Total abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis is a commonly performed surgical procedure. The postoperative outcome of these patients, however, has not been studied in detail in the Asian population. The purpose of this study was to analyze the functional outcome of patients following total abdominal colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis. All patients subjected to a total abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis during a six-year period from February 1989 to October 1995 were reviewed. Sixty-six patients (male:female, 40:26) with a mean age of 55.2 (range, 20-88) years underwent total abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis. Median follow-up after surgery was 26 (range, 4-78) months. Indications for surgery were synchronous or metachronous tumors (18), complicated pancolonic diverticular disease (15), obstructed tumors with impending perforation (13), familial adenomatous polyposis (7), slow-transit constipation (6), and others (7). Mean operative time was 137 +/- 48 minutes. Mean postoperative hospitalization was 13.3 +/- 11.9 days. Time to first bowel movement and commencement of solid diet were 4.7 +/- 1.8 and 7.2 +/- 2.4 days, respectively. Four patients had prolonged postoperative ileus. Average stool...Continue Reading
