Abstract

Results of surgical treatment of patients with diffuse polyposis of the colon (a juvenile form) are analyzed. During 1979-1990 20 ileoanal and 8 ileorectal anastomoses were performed with demucosation of the rectum. The operative intervention is performed by an original method without temporary creation of ileostoma. Long-term results of treatment allow recommendations of these operations for use in pediatric practice.
