Safety of transanal ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis: a retrospective observational cohort study

CONCLUSION: Postoperative complication rates in patients with benign colorectal disease remain an area of concern for surgical patient safety. In this pilot study on 22 selected patients, taIPAA was associated with two patients developing anastomotic leakage. Future large-scale validation studies are required to determine the safety and feasibility of taIPAA in patients with ulcerative colitis.PMID:34537080 | DOI:10.1186/s13037-021-00306-5
