title: The functional result of pelvic ileal reservoir in 10 patients with familial adenomatous polyposis.
abstract: Ten patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) were treated by total colectomy, mucosal protectomy and ileoanal anastomosis with a pelvic ileal reservoir. The functional results were assessed by means of a patient questionnaire and suggested that this operation may represent the ideal treatment for the condition, irradicating disease-bearing mucosa, avoiding an ileostomy and providing acceptable function.
