Mucosectomy With Handsewn Anastomosis Reduces the Risk of Adenoma Formation in the Anorectal Segment After Restorative Proctocolectomy for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

Abstract

In Brief This study compared the incidence of adenoma and carcinoma in the anorectal segment after either mucosectomy and manual or stapled ileoanal anastomosis for FAP. The risk of adenoma is lower after mucosectomy and handsewn anastomosis. Regular endoscopic surveillance after either technique is mandatory.
