| ileoanal anastomosis |
In this surgery the colon and rectum are removed but the anal sphincters are preserved. The end of the ileum is then formed into a pouch and connected to the anus. Waste can then flow though the ileum to the anus and out of the body. This surgery usually is done in two stages, requiring a temporary ileostomy until the newly formed rectum can heal and the ileum can be connected to the anus. This option also carries a risk of pouchitis and leakage of feces.
