Functioneel resultaat na pouch chirurgie bij patiënten met colitis ulcerosa of een rectumcarcinoom
Loss of normal bowel control has a devastating effect on quality of life. Psychological implications and social restrictions with impaired continence have been extensively documented. Therefore restoration of intestinal continuity after rectal resection with acceptable postoperative morbidity is a challenge to surgeons. This thesis will focus on the functional outcome after sphincter-preserving procedures in the treatment of ulcerative colitis and rectal cancer. Especially, continence mechanisms after colonic pouch construction and the role of gut flora in the etiology of pouchitis after ileal pouch surgery have been investigated.
