Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does ileoanal-pouch reconstruction impair sphincter function or quality of life?
Answer: Proctocolectomy combined with IPAA neither deteriorates anorectal function nor quality of life compared to conservatively treated controls. These data support that prophylactic proctocolectomy in patients who are at high risk for the development of colorectal cancer can be performed at an early stage of the disease.
Output (English): no
