Ulcerative colitis (CU) or Familiar Polyposis (FAP) can be the indication for proctocolectomy reconstructed with J pouch. The complete removal of the colon mucosa is essential regarding the late complications and at the same time the atraumatic surgical technique is very important concerning on the long term functional results. Both aspects seems to be answered by the stapled ileo-anal anastomosis using a "procedure for prolaps and haemorrhoids (PPH)" stapler applied by us since 2000. ⋯ Based on our experience the ileo-anal anastomosis performed by PPH stapler is technically feasible, seems to be effective concerning on the complete removal of the rectal mucosa and we observed better functional results compared with the hand-sewn anastomosis. Our data should be confirmed because of the low patients' volume.
