New treatment for ileal pouch-anal or coloanal anastomotic stenosis

Dis Colon Rectum. 1998 Jul;41(7):935-7. doi: 10.1007/BF02235382.

Abstract

Persistent anastomotic stricture following ileal pouch-anal or coloanal anastomoses can be treated by transanal resection using a stapler or a more complex procedure, such as transanal pouch advancement with neoanastomosis. We propose an easier and faster technique, which does not require any particular device. Its long-term functional results are satisfactory in most patients.
