Transanal endoscopic anorectal mucosectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis for familial adenomatous polyposis. A case report.

Abstract

In patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) who are undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), transanal mucosectomy can be performed without excessive anal dilatation and manipulation using the operative proctoscope introduced by Buess. In this way, mucosectomy under a direct three-dimensional six-fold magnified view is accurate and bloodless.
