Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate a new technique: Close Rectal Dissection (CRD) as restorative surgery for Ulcerative Colitis patients: the Close Rectal Ileo Pouch Anal Anastomosis (CR-IPAA). Clinical outcome and quality of life will be compared to the conventional Ileo Pouch Anal Anastomosis (C-IPAA) and the Ileo Neo Rectal Anastomosis (INRA).

Detailed description

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by recurring episodes of inflammation limited to the mucosal layer of the colon. The surgery rate after 10 years is 30%. After (sub)total colectomy with end ileostoma patients have a choice for restorative surgery. The conventional ileo pouch anal anastomosis (C-IPAA) is the gold standard of reconstructive surgery. This is al well established technique, but still carries a significant morbidity-rate. The recent studied ileo neo rectal anastomosis (INRA) has shown to reduce reservoir-related complications with a similar functional outcome, but is a very laborious technique. Therefore, we want to investigate an alternative technique: the Close Rectal Ileo Pouch Anal Anastomosis (CR-IPAA). The CR-IPAA is conducted in the nonanatomic perimuscular plane, resulting in a reduction of reservoir-related complications. After the close rectal dissection an ileo-anal pouch anastomosis will be constructed in a similar way. The close rectal dissection (CRD) is very laborious and has therefore never been developed extensively. But recent technical development of electrothermal bipolar vessel sealer (EBVS ) and ultrasound dissection have enhanced the CRD technique enormously. This brought along new interest in the CRD and justifies the research of its application.
