Risk of Rectal Cancer in Patients After Colectomy and Ileorectal Anastomosis for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

Abstract: Although follow-up is shorter, ileorectal anastomosis for familial adenomatous polyposis performed since 1983 carries a much lower rate of rectal cancer and proctectomy than ileorectal anastomosis performed before this time, when restorative proctocolectomy was not an option. This is related, at least in part, to a greater number of patients with severe polyposis having their rectum initially spared.

“…The perception that IRA is a less technically demanding procedure than IPAA has in the past led to the suggestion that it is associated with less postoperative morbidity 47 . Factors that may play a part in this include increased operating time, hospital stay and blood loss with IPAA, as well as increased pelvic dissection and potential for damage to the internal anal sphincter 15 .…”

“…Total abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis or total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis are the traditional management strategies for colonic polyposis. Lifelong endoscopic surveillance of the rectum is required for the management of recurrent polyposis and does not obviate the development of uncontrolled rectal polyposis or rectal cancer that may require proctectomy (1).…”

“…Ileorectal anastomosis should not be performed in severe diseases which have adenomas larger than 3 cm in diameter in the rectum, severe dysplasia, colonic or rectal cancer or sphincter dysfunction. It's better to perform IPAA in these cases (8). When polyposis becomes too significant not to be managed by polypectomy (i.e., when polyp ≥1 cm in diameter, polyp number >20 at any individual examination or with advanced histology is identified) proctocolectomy is recommended (9).…”
