Abstract
The transverse coloplasty pouch. Review of experimental data and clinical application. The transverse coloplasty pouch is a novel technique for sphincter preserving colonic reconstruction after total mesorectal excision. The method was developed in an animal model and resulted in favorable early functional results. Our results in patients with rectal cancer demonstrate that the technique is technically easy and safe. The transverse coloplasty pouch provides a neorectal reservoir of adequate volume and a favorable early functional outcome. It leads to a reduction in stool frequency compared with a straight anastomosis and the outcome is comparable to other colon reservoirs.
