The results of nine patients undergoing restorative proctocolectomy with ileal reservoir are presented. Mean frequency of defaecation per 24 h is 5.8. The reservoir was removed in one patient. Continence was normal in six patients and two had minor soiling. Manometry was normal in all except one with minor soiling and electromyography showed no features of sphincter denervation.
