Background/Purpose:
The standard procedure in the management of pouch colon is the staged procedure (SP), which has well-known disadvantages. We believe that staging is unnecessary and primary single-stage procedure (PSSP) can be done.
Methods:
Patients with pouch colon who underwent PSSP (102 cases from 1997 to 2003) and SP (98 cases from 1991 to 1997), 63 and 42 of whom, respectively, were in regular follow-up for more than 3 years, were evaluated.
Results:
In PSSP, male/female ratio was 94:8; in SP, 89:9. Mean age in PSSP was 4.6 days and in SP 26 months. The distribution of cases into types I, II, III, and IV was 10, 24, 14, and 15 in PSSP, and 8, 20, 10, and 4 in SP, respectively. The ratio of PSSP/SP for total pouch colon (I and II) was 34:28 and for partial pouch colon (III and IV) was 29:14. The ratio of PSSP/SP in terms of continence, mortality, and cost was 75:48, 11:47, and 1:4, respectively.
Conclusions:
Primary single-stage procedure gives better continence and cosmesis, with low morbidity and mortality at a low cost, and hence is recommended.
