In FAP, the initial procedure (late teens to early twenties) should be total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis, followed approximately 10 years later by proctocolectomy and ileal pouch construction.
These procedures include subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis, vertical reduction rectoplasty, or total proctocolectomy with either end ileostomy or ileoanal anastomosis.
For example, individuals with HNPCC who develop colorectal cancer may undergo subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis rather than segmental colectomy because of the risk of a metachronous primary.
