Diseases of the Colon and Rectum
|March 1, 1976
Abstract:
Rectal mucosal stripping is a technique for removal of diseased tissue secondary to chronic ulcerative colitis. It is a technique for the preservation of a functional rectum following a total colectomy. Subsequent mucosal regeneration can allow ileorectal anastomosis without fear of recurrent disease and with maintenance of general health and acceptable gastrointestinal tract function.
