Core Tip	Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the most commonly performed procedure for treatment of UC patients refractory to medical therapy. However, IPAA carries on its own risks. Recently, some authors have proposed ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) as a valid surgical alternative to IPAA. IRA is an easier operation than IPAA associated with low complication rates and comparable long-term functional results. This manuscript reviews the pros and cons of both procedures and compares results.
