FIGURE 2.

Comparison of Wexner Scores at 6 and 12 months after traditional IPAA vs. TAMIP‐IPAA. At 6 months post‐stoma closure, the Wexner scores for the TAMIP‐IPAA and traditional IPAA groups were 8.0 and 14.5, respectively (p = 0.029). At 1‐year post‐stoma closure, the scores were 7.0 and 14.0, respectively (p = 0.020). Boxes indicate interquartile ranges. Bold lines are the medians, and bars are the ranges of scores. IPAA, ileal pouch‐anal anastomosis; TAMIP; transanal minimally invasive proctectomy.
