Fate of the Rectal Stump After Subtotal Colectomy for Ulcerative Colitis in the Era of Ileal Pouch–Anal Anastomosis

Abstract: Management of the retained rectum after subtotal colectomy remains an important issue even in the era of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Considering the risk of rectal cancer, the low success rate of long-term rectal preservation, and the safety of surgery, a more aggressive approach to early completion proctectomy seems justified in this situation.

“…Interestingly, more patients undergoing laparoscopic STC had a restorative procedure with IPAA or IRA in comparison to open STC. Again, In addition, like others [41], one-third of our overall population is under active endoscopic surveillance awaiting a second-stage procedure; these results should therefore be interpreted with caution. In the literature, the type of second-stage procedure does not seem to be related to the initial approach [10,32].…”

“…The latter group of patients is often older, as documented in this study. The relevance of considering a definitive proctocolectomy is pointed out by the fact that as many as 10-19% of patients initially undergoing total colectomy with ileostomy will not have their rectum removed [2,3] . These patients are reported to have a decreased quality of life [2] , and approximately 50% are bothered by bloody secretion from the rectum requiring continuous medical treatment (often topical).…”

“…A majority of patients, who have undergone a total colectomy, will later have a restorative procedure performed. About 20% of the patients will either retain their rectum or undergo a completion proctectomy at a later stage [2][3][4] . Approximately, 50% of pa-…”
