PURPOSE: This study was designed to evaluate whether operating surgeons could follow up the functional outcome of their own operations, without bias, by using standardized methods at follow-up. METHODS: Fifty-five patients who received a pelvic reservoir with an S-pouch were evaluated regarding functional outcome after at least one year postoperative follow-up. The functional surgical outcome was evaluated by an internist especially trained in gastroenterology and the operating surgeon by using a standardized scale comprising eight functional variables. RESULTS: None of the variables analyzed reached statistically significant difference between the two observers, and a high degree of agreement could be shown by using kappa and weighted kappa analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that it is possible for an operating surgeon to assess the postoperative surgical outcome using standardized methods at follow-up.
