Ileostomy (IL) and ileal-pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) are treatment of choice in ulcerative colitis. We investigate the complications and quality of life after operation according to the operative methods. Methods: We analyzed patients experienced total proctocolectomy. We divided them in two groups according to the operation methods. We analyzed the characteristics and outcomes after IL or IPAA group for evaluation quality of life and evaluated the characteristics of patients preoperative and postoperative state retrospectively. Results: Fourteen patients were enrolled this study. IPAA was done at eight of them and IL was done at the six of them. There were no difference in sex, age, frequency of use of immunosuppressive agent, duration of medication of steroid and duration of ulcerative colitis according to the operation methods. Most common indication of operation was medical intractability. Similar incidence of postoperative complication in both operation methods. According to the questionnares for evaluating of quality of life, we compared both operation method. There was no difference. But in IPAA, antidiarrheal medication was more needed.
