[Surgical treatment of diffuse polyposis of the large intestine].

A technique of the operation developed by the authors for patients with diffuse polyposis of the colon is described. A new method of total colectomy is proposed including removal of the rectum mucosa and the endorectal loop ileoanal anastomosis and simultaneous creation of the small intestine reservoir (operations on 2 patients) and a new method of creation of the small intestine reservoir (operations on 7 patients). Good functional results were obtained. Six-eight months after operation the patients had stools 1-6 times a day. In none of 5 men operated upon impotence has developed.
