Ileal Reservoir Length and Functional Outcome in Ileal Pouch-anal Anastomosis
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare outcome after construction of an ileal (J-shaped) reservoir of 10 versus 15 centimeters in primary ileal pouch-anal anastomosis surgery.
Inclusion: Undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (implying a normal sphincter function as judged by history and clinical examination); Signed informed consent; Able to perform both a small (10 cm) and medium-size (15 cm) pouch with adequate reach and no tension as determined subjectively by the surgeon intraoperatively.
