Abstract:AimThe aim of this study was to compare modified 2‐stage and 3‐stage IPAA construction techniques to evaluate the effect of diverting loop ileostomy following completion proctectomy and IPAA for ulcerative colitis. In addition, our overall institutional experience was reviewed to describe long‐term outcomes and changes in staging trends over time.MethodsOur institutional database was searched to identify all cases of IPAA for ulcerative colitis between 1981 and 2018.
