Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators hypothesis is that the patients who receive a side to end anastomosis have bowel outcome and quality of life that is equivalent to those who receive a J pouch.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The side to end anastomosis has become popular in recent years as it is technically simple to construct. The difference between the Baker type(side to end) of anastomosis and the J pouch, is that no formal pouch is constructed in the side to end. It has one staple line and the anastomosis.

The investigators hypothesis is that the patients who receive a side to end anastomosis have bowel outcome and quality of life that is equivalent to those who receive a J pouch.
