Three cases of adenocarcinoma following restorative proctocolectomy with hand-sewn anastomosis for ulcerative colitis: a review of reported cases in the literature. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) has been accepted as optimal surgical therapy for most patients with ulcerative colitis. The occurrence of adenocarcinoma adjacent to the ileoanal anastomotic site for ulcerative colitis is a serious but rare outcome. There are 16 reported cases. We report three additional cases and review previous cases in the literature.
