Abstract

Formation of an ileoanal pouch, either at initial large bowel surgery to manage familial adenomatous polyposis, or if the rectum requires removal following previous colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis, is a very useful surgical option. It permits removal of virtually all large bowel mucosa, and hence colorectal cancer risk. It is not, however a panacea, and seems to be associated with increased desmoid formation, as well as neoplasia of the small bowel mucosa of the pouch. Careful counselling by a medical team fully conversant with these issues is essential before offering a patient such surgery.
