Although total colectomy with mucosal proctectomy and endorectal pullthrough affects two sites critical to the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids, little information is available regarding the manner in which normal digestive physiology is altered by these procedures. This study defines the early and long-term effects of colectomy and endorectal pullthrough on bile acid profile and the long-term effects on biliary lipid metabolism.
