Total proctocolectomy and permanent ileostomy in a 42 years old poor man who had presented with rectal bleeding and severe anaemia, corrected by several blood transfusions. He had a family history of colorectal polyps and also had a duodenal polyp. The distalmost polyps were big and bleeding and possibly malignant and were present in the lower rectum, hence the decision to remove all of distal rectum and anus as well. An abdominoperineal resection and closure of anus were performed after total proctocolectomy was completed.
