Laparoscopic Total Colectomy & Ileoanal Pullthrough

Three-stage procedure

This procedure is generally done when a patient is on high dose corticosteroids, or the disease is unresponsive to medical management. Severe inflammation or ulceration of the rectum makes successful removal of the rectal lining more difficult.
