The primary objective of this study is to perform a non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial to determine if pouch-related functional outcomes following ta-IPAA are not worse than after tabd-IPAA one year after surgery in UC. The COREFO questionnaire will be used to evaluate the functional outcome. Secondary objective is to assess pouch-related functional outcome within a year after surgery, measured at several intervals from surgery. This will include the assessment of COREFO questionnaire at 3 and 6 months. Other functional questionnaires will be used at 3, 6 and 12 months to measure the impact on urogenital function.
