Background:
Although laparoscopic total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis has recently been used for this group of patients, there are rare reports of its treatment outcomes and postoperative complications. For this purpose, the very aim of the present study was to evaluate the complications of this surgery after 6 months in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and ulcerative colitis (UC).
Materials And Methods:
The present cross-sectional study was performed on 20 patients undergoing restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (RPC-IPAA) for FAP or UC during 2009-2014. Outcomes of patients were recorded 6 months after surgery for complications and satisfaction.
Results:
There were 11 (60%) males and 9 (40%) females with a mean age of 30.65 ± 9.59 years. There were 12 patients (60%) with FAP and eight patients (40%) with UC. The length of stay (LOS) ranged from 4 days to 10 days with the mean of 6.40 ± 1.76 days. The incidence of complications including leak, urinary retention, and wound infection were 10%, 5%, and 10%, respectively. Moreover, no postoperative mortalities occurred. Male patients had no problems during sexual activity or micturition. All patients were highly satisfied with the outcome of the surgery.
Conclusion:
According to the results of the present study, laparoscopic RPC-IPAA was a surgery with the least complications and the highest level of satisfaction for young patients with FAP and UC. Therefore, it seems that this surgery can be a suitable surgical method for the mentioned patients.

Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
