Abstract: | Fifty-eight Danish polyposis patients had been treated with colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis by the end of 1982. Three
of these patients developed rectal cancer despite regular proctoscopic control, but one was probably an overlooked synchronous
cancer. The cumulative risk at five and ten years after operation (actuarial method) was 3.5 and 13.3 per cent (95 per cent
confidence limits 0–10.3 and 0–70.3 per cent, respectively), which seem to be acceptably low figures. This study supports
the assumption that colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis is still the operation of choice in polyposis patients without rectal
cancer. |
