COMPLICATIONS
The CRUISE study is a prospective, non-randomized, non-blinded, multi-center, controlled trial on satisfaction, QoL, function, and complications between IRA and IPAA and permanent stoma among adult UC patients subjected to subtotal colectomy. All adult UC patients scheduled for a subtotal colectomy will be asked for informed consent. The patients will then be presented standardized written and video recorded information on the available reconstructive options. If the patient meets the inclusion criteria, their preferred choice of IRA or IPAA will assign them to one of the study arms. Patients that do not meet the inclusion criteria or fulfill any of the exclusion criteria (e.g. not suitable for an IRA) or refrain reconstruction will be asked to participate as controls.
