Abstract
Laparoscopic proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the removal of the entire colon and rectum with creation of an ileal neo-reservoir. It is performed for patients with inflammatory or neoplastic processes isolated to the colon and rectum with good sphincter control and without involvement of the small bowel or anus.
