"Restorative procto-colectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis has become the most common elective surgical procedure for patients with ulcerative colitis and is becoming popular in those with familial adenomatous polyposis coli." This is an excerpt from: Gastroenterology Surgical Department, St. Mark's Hospital, Northwick Park, Harrow, Middlesex, UK found on the web. It sounds like your dictator is combining and coining a new word. Pretty common to come across, albeit annoying. I would type it "proctoileal." Hope this helps

Thanks! nm - me
