TLRP = total laparosopic restorative proctocolectomy; HAL-RP = hand-assisted laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy; ORP = open restorative proctocolectomy; M = male; F = female; UC = ulcerative colitis; FAP = familial polyposis coli; BMI = body mass index.

Data are numbers of patients or medians with ranges in parentheses unless otherwise indicated.
