Flow chart showing the procedures done and outcome (short and long term). IPAA: ileal J Pouch anal anastomosis; IRA: ileorectal anastomosis; TPC: total proctocolectomy with permanent Brooke's ileostomy; FU: follow up; LFU: lost to follow up. * One patient had rectal cancer receiving adjuvant therapy and IPAA was not contemplated; the other patient developed intestinal tuberculosis and recurrent small bowel obstruction with multiple reoperations, hence pouch was not advocated. # One patient died of massive cerebral thromboembolism secondary to valvular heart disease with infective endocarditis; one additional patient died of disseminated colorectal cancer.
