The authors present their experience with 93 patients operated at the First Surgical Clinic of the General Faculty Hospital and First Medical Faculty, Charles University Prague on account of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) assembled during 36 year starting in 1962. They analyze 91 patients followed up in collaboration with the First Medical Clinic of the General Faculty Hospital and First Medical Clinic Charles University Prague. Seventy-two of the patients were operated and in 55 of them an ileorectoanastomosis was made following subtotal colectomy. Two important findings were made. From the group of 91 patients incl. primary patients who suffered already from advanced malignant disease of the large bowel a total of 38.5% died. In the rectal stump after ileorectoanastomosis on average within 16 years after operation in 16.4% of the patients a malignant tumour was found. This leads to the belief that patients should be recommended colectomy with ileoanoanastomosis with an ileal reservoir. This operation was performed during the last five years in nine patients with this condition, using a one-stage or two-stage procedure with temporary ileostomy.
