Abstract

The results of surgical management (restorative proctocolectomy) in 15 patients operated on for familial polyposis and ulcerative colitis were presented. The comparison of ileo-anal, hand-sewn anastomosis with endorectal mucosectomy and double-stapled ileo-rectal anastomosis indicates both methods equally useful in surgical practice. In all patients J-pouch was created. The choice of anastomosis should be carefully considered before operation in every patient, but sometimes changed intraoperatively.
