A review of twenty-one rectal mucosectomy and XXXX pull through procedures.

@entity1 @entity322 @entity4628 @entity254 @entity31 @entity260 @entity281 @entity1412 @entity1744
Twenty-one @entity1 with chronic @entity31 (CUC) or @entity1412 underwent total colectomy, rectal mucosectomy, @entity4628 formation and @entity254 of the pouch to the dentate line. Eleven (52%) intraoperative problems occurred. No deaths resulted. Ten (48%) @entity260 were treated without operative intervention. Ten @entity260 required a minor or major procedure to remedy the problem. The most common major complications were four small @entity1744 . The only septic complication was a single wound @entity281 . Functional results have been satisfactory with 14 of 19 (74%) having six or fewer bowel movements per day. Most @entity1 do not wear perineal pads either day or night. Only one @entity1 felt his lifestyle had worsened. Seventeen of 19 (90%) @entity1 were satisfied with their result and would choose to have the operation again. Frequent diarrheal stools associated with @entity322 was the primary reason for a failure and excision of one pouch. This procedure is becoming the alternative of choice for CUC and @entity1412 because of the ability to cure the disease as well as preserve anal sphincter function.
