Transverse coloplasty pouch and colonic J‐pouch for rectal cancer – a comparative study

Objectives  The introduction of the colonic J‐pouch has markedly improved the functional outcome of restorative rectal cancer surgery. However colonic J‐pouch surgery can be problematic and may present some late evacuatory problems. To overcome these limitations a novel pouch has been proposed: the transverse coloplasty pouch. The purpose of our study was to compare the functional outcomes of these two different types of pouches – the transverse coloplasty pouch (TCP) and the colonic J‐pouch (CJP) – during the first 12 months postoperatively.
