Abstract

Prophylactic colectomy or proctocolectomy is standard treatment for colorectal manifestation of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a dominantly inherited disorder for which the risk of developing colorectal cancer in an untreated patient is close to 100 percent. Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is also dominantly inherited but has a lower risk of colorectal cancer than FAP and does not have a clinically obvious phenotype. The role of prophylactic colectomy in patients with HNPCC is controversial. This study was performed to examine the outcome of colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) so its use as a prophylactic procedure can be better evaluated. Records of all patients undergoing IRA for FAP between 1985 and 1993 were reviewed. Demographic data and data about the operation were collected. Surgical outcome data included length of hospital stay, complications, bowel function, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. There were 51 patients with a median age of 28 years; 24 were male. All but eight patients were asymptomatic, and all had less than 1,000 polyps in the resected specimen. Mean surgery time was 3.5 hours, mean blood loss was 406 ml, and median length of hospital stay was seven days. There we...Continue Reading
