Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic inflammatory conditions of the pouch are common after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC). AIMS We aimed to investigate the relationship between acute pouchitis within 180 days of the final stage of IPAA surgery (very early pouchitis) and the future development of chronic antibiotic dependent pouchitis (CADP) and Crohn's-like disease of the pouch (CLDP). METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study, evaluating patients who underwent proctocolectomy with IPAA between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2016. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationship between very early pouchitis and the development of CADP and CLDP. RESULTS Among 626 patients undergoing IPAA for UC, 137 (22%) developed very early pouchitis, 75 (12%) developed CADP, and 59 (9%) developed CLDP in a median follow-up of 5.18 years (interquartile range 0.94-10.8 years). Very early pouchitis was associated with a significant increase in the odds of developing CADP (adjusted odds ratio [aOR3.65, 95% CI 2.19-6.10) as was primary sclerosing cholangitis (aOR 3.97, 95% CI 1.44-11.0). Very early pouchitis was associated with increased odds for developing CLDP (aOR 2.77, 95% CI 1.54-4.98) along with a family history of inflammatory bowel disease (aOR 2.10, 95% CI 1.11-3.96). CONCLUSION In this cohort, very early pouchitis was associated with an increased risk of developing CADP and CLDP. These findings highlight very early pouchitis as a unique risk factor for chronic inflammatory conditions of the pouch and the need for future studies evaluating potential strategies for secondary prophylaxis strategies in this population.

Hassan Y, Connell WR, Rawal A, Wright EK. Review of long-term complications and functional outcomes of ileoanal pouch procedures in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. ANZ J Surg 2023. [PMID: 37095321 DOI: 10.1111/ans.18490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In medically refractory Ulcerative Colitis (UC), proctocolectomy with ileoanal pouch procedure (IAPP) is the preferred continence-preserving surgical option. Functional outcomes post-surgery and long-term complication rates in the biologic era remain ambiguous. This review primarily aims to provide an update on these outcomes. Secondarily, risk factors associated with chronic pouchitis and pouch failure are explored. METHODS Two online databases (MEDLINE and EMBASE) were searched on 4 October 2022 for English studies from 2011-present relating to long-term outcomes of IAPP in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Adult patients with 12 month follow-up were included. Studies focused on 30-day post-operative outcomes, non-IBD patients or studies including less than 30 patients were excluded. RESULTS Following screening and full-text review of 1094 studies, 49 were included. Median sample size was n = 282 (IQR: 116-519). Median incidences for chronic pouchitis and pouch failure were 17.1% (IQR: 12-23.6%) and 6.9% (IQR: 4.8-10.8%), respectively. Upon multivariate analysis, chronic pouchitis development was most significantly associated with pre-operative steroid use, pancolitis and extra-intestinal IBD manifestations, whilst pouch failure was most significantly associated with pre-operative diagnosis of Crohn's disease (compared to UC), peri-operative pelvic sepsis and anastomotic leak. Overall patient satisfaction was very high with four included studies reporting greater than 90% satisfaction rates. CONCLUSION Long-term complications for IAPP were common. However, despite this, patient satisfaction post-IAPP was high. Up-to-date knowledge of complication rates and their risk factors improves pre-operative counselling, management planning and patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are no prospective trials comparing the two main reconstructive options after colectomy for Ulcerative colitis, ileal pouch anal anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis. An attempt on a randomized controlled trial has been made but after receiving standardized information patients insisted on choosing operation themselves. METHODS Adult Ulcerative colitis patients subjected to colectomy eligible for both ileal pouch anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis are asked to participate and after receiving standardized information the get to choose reconstructive method. Patients declining reconstruction or not considered eligible for both methods will be followed as controls. The CRUISE study is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, open-label, controlled trial on satisfaction, QoL, function, and complications between ileal pouch anal anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis. DISCUSSION Reconstruction after colectomy is a morbidity-associated as well as a resource-intensive activity with the sole purpose of enhancing function, QoL and patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to provide the best possible information on the risks and benefits of each reconstructive treatment. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05628701.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Following IPAA failure, select patients are eligible for IPAA revision. Presently, there is limited evidence describing long-term revision outcomes and predictors of revision failure. This represents an important knowledge gap when selecting and counseling patients. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to define long-term IPAA survival outcomes after transabdominal IPAA revision and identify preoperative clinical factors associated with revision failure. DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS This study was conducted at a tertiary referral center. PATIENTS This study included all patients who underwent revisional IPAA surgery between 1982 and 2017 for pouch failure. INTERVENTION Transabdominal IPAA revision was included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was pouch failure, defined as pouch excision or permanent pouch diversion, after IPAA revision. RESULTS A total of 159 patients (64.2% women) were included with a median age of 36 years (interquartile range, 28.5-46.5) at revision. Eighty percent of patients had a primary diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. The most common indication for revision was leak/pelvic sepsis, representing 41% of the cohort, followed by pouch-vaginal fistula (22.2%), mechanical factors (20.4%), and poor pouch function (14.6%). During the study period, 56 patients (35.2%) experienced pouch failure. The 3-year pouch survival probability was 82.3% (95% CI, 75.5%-87.5%), 5-year pouch survival probability was 77.2% (95% CI, 69.8%-83.0%), and 10-year pouch survival probability was 70.6% (95% CI, 62.6%-77.2%). Compared to mechanical factors, pouch failure was significantly associated with pelvic sepsis (HR, 4.25; 95% CI, 1.50-12.0) and pouch-vaginal fistula (HR, 4.37; 95% CI, 1.47-12.99). No significant association was found between revision failure and previous revision, redo ileoanal anastomosis, or new pouch construction. LIMITATIONS This study is limited by its retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS Revisional IPAA can be undertaken with favorable long-term outcomes at high-volume centers. Consideration should be given to indication for revision when counseling patients regarding the risk of failure. Further research on risk stratifying patients before revision is required.

REVISIN DE LA ANASTOMOSIS ANAL DE LA BOLSA ILEAL TRANSABDOMINAL LA INDICACIN DICTA EL RESULTADO ANTECEDENTES:Después de la falla en la anastomosis del reservorio ileoanal, los pacientes seleccionados son elegibles para la revisión de la anastomosis del reservorio ileoanal. Actualmente, hay evidencias limitadas que describen los resultados de la revisión a largo plazo y los predictores del fracaso de la revisión. Esto representa un importante vacío de investigación a la hora de seleccionar y asesorar a los pacientes.OBJETIVO:Definir los resultados de supervivencia a largo plazo de la IPAA después de la revisión de la anastomosis del reservorio ileoanal transabdominal e identificar los factores clínicos preoperatorios asociados con el fracaso de la revisión.DISEÑO:Este fue un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo.ENTORNO CLINICO:Este estudio se realizó en un centro de referencia terciario.PARTICIPANTES:Todos los pacientes que se sometieron a una cirugía de revisión de la anastomosis ileoanal del reservorio entre 1982 y 2017, por falla del reservorio.INTERVENCIÓN:Revisión de la anastomosis de reservorio ileoanal transabdominal.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:El resultado primario es el fracaso del reservorio, definido como escisión del reservorio o derivación permanente del reservorio, después de la revisión de la anastomosis del reservorio ileoanal.RESULTADOS:Se incluyeron un total de 159 pacientes (64,2% mujeres) con una mediana de edad a la revisión de 36 años (RIC: 28,5-46,5). El ochenta por ciento tenía un diagnóstico primario de colitis ulcerosa. La indicación más común para la revisión fue la fuga/sepsis pélvica, que representó el 41 % de la cohorte, seguida de la fístula vaginal del reservorio (22,2 %), factores mecánicos (20,4 %) y mala función del reservorio 14,6 %. Durante el período de estudio, 56 pacientes (35,2 %) experimentaron fallas en la bolsa. Las probabilidades de supervivencia de la bolsa a los 3, 5 y 10 años fueron del 82,3% (IC del 95%: 75,5%-87,5%), del 77,2% (IC del 95%: 69,8%-83,0%) y del 70,6% (IC del 95%: 62,6%- 77,2%), respectivamente. En comparación con los factores mecánicos, la falla de la bolsa se asoció significativamente con sepsis pélvica (HR = 4,25, IC del 95 %: 1,50 a 12,0) y fístula vaginal de la bolsa (HR = 4,37, IC del 95 %: 1,47 a 12,99). No hubo una asociación significativa entre el fracaso de la revisión y la revisión previa, el rehacer la anastomosis ileoanal o la construcción de una nueva bolsa.LIMITACIONES:El estudio está limitado por su diseño retrospectivo.CONCLUSIONES:La revisión de la anastomosis del reservorio ileoanal se puede realizar con resultados favorables a largo plazo en centros de alto volumen. Se debe considerar la indicación de revisión al asesorar a los pacientes sobre el riesgo de fracaso. Se requiere investigación adicional sobre la estratificación del riesgo de los pacientes antes de la revisión. Consulte Video Resumen en http://links.lww.com/DCR/B966 .

Understanding fluorescence time curves during ileal pouch-anal anastomosis with or without vascular ligation. Surg Endosc 2023:10.1007/s00464-023-09921-y. [PMID: 36917344 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-09921-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) may be of added value during pouch surgery, in particular after vascular ligations as lengthening maneuver. The aim was to determine quantitative perfusion parameters within the efferent/afferent loop and explore the impact of vascular ligation. Perfusion parameters were also compared in patients with and without anastomotic leakage (AL). METHODS All consenting patients that underwent FA-guided ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) between July 2020 and December 2021 were included. After intravenous bolus injection of 0.1 mg/kg ICG, the near-infrared camera (Stryker Aim 1688) registered the fluorescence intensity over time. Quantitative analysis of ICG-FA from standardized regions of interests on the pouch was performed using software. Fluorescence parameters were extracted for inflow (T0, Tmax, Fmax, slope, Time-to-peak) and outflow (T90% and T80%). Change of management related to FA findings and AL rates were recorded. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were included, three patients (14%) required vascular ligation to obtain additional length, by ligating terminal ileal branches in two and the ileocolic artery (ICA) in one patient. In nine patients the ICA was already ligated during subtotal colectomy. ICG-FA triggered a change of management in 19% of patients (n = 4/21), all of them had impaired vascular supply (ligated ileocolic/ terminal ileal branches). Overall, patients with intact vascular supply had similar perfusion patterns for the afferent and efferent loop. Pouches with ICA ligation had longer Tmax in both afferent as efferent loop than pouches with intact ICA (afferent 51 and efferent 53 versus 41 and 43 s respectively). Mean slope of the efferent loop diminished in ICA ligated patients 1.5(IQR 0.8-4.4) versus 2.2 (1.3-3.6) in ICA intact patients. CONCLUSION Quantitative analysis of ICG-FA perfusion during IPAA is feasible and reflects the ligation of the supplying vessels.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the frequency and grade of anastomotic leakage (AL) in stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and its long-term impact on the pouch functions. METHODS A longitudinal cohort study was conducted on UC patients who underwent stapled IPAA at Yokohama City University Medical Center between 2007 and 2018. The diagnosis and grading of AL were performed in accordance with the recommendations of the International Study Group of Rectal Cancer. We assessed the functional pouch rate, late complication, pouch survival rate, bowel function (bowel movements per day, soiling, spotting, difficulty in distinguishing feces from flatus) and pouch inflammation (pouchitis disease activity index; PDAI) in the long-term period. RESULTS Two hundred seventy-six patients were analyzed. Twenty-three (8.3%; grade B/C; 13/10) patients were diagnosed with AL, but a functional pouch was achieved in all the twenty-three patients. Anastomotic stricture was significantly more common in patients with AL (AL group) than in patients without AL (non-AL group; AL/non-AL: 13.0/3.2%, p = 0.020). There were no differences in other late complications. Furthermore, the pouch survival rate did not differ between the AL and non-AL groups (100.0/97.9%/10 years, p = 0.494). There were no differences between the groups in bowel movements per day, spotting, soling, difficulty in distinguishing feces from flatus, or PDAI postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Curable AL may not affect late complications (except anastomotic stricture), pouch survival, the bowel function, or pouch inflammation over the long term. Perioperative management to prevent the severity of AL is as important as preventing its occurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with ulcerative colitis who undergo IPAA, a diverting ileostomy is used to diminish the severity of anastomotic complications. Typically, the ileostomy is closed after an interval of 2 to 4 months. The safety of earlier closure of the ileostomy after pouch surgery is unknown. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare postoperative outcomes in patients randomly assigned to early (7-12 days) or late (≥8 weeks) ileostomy closure after ileal pouch construction. DESIGN This was a multicenter, prospective randomized trial. SETTING The study was conducted at colorectal surgical units at select United States hospitals. PATIENTS Adults with ulcerative colitis who underwent 2- or 3-stage proctocolectomy with IPAA were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes included Comprehensive Complication Index at 30 days after ileostomy closure. The secondary outcomes included complications, severe complications, reoperations, and readmissions within 30 days of ileostomy closure. RESULTS The trial was stopped after interim analysis because of a high rate of complications after early ileostomy closure. Among 36 patients analyzed, 1 patient (3%) had unplanned proctectomy with end-ileostomy. Of the remaining 35 patients, 28 patients (80%) were clinically eligible for early closure and underwent radiologic assessment. There were 3 radiologic failures. Of the 25 remaining patients, 22 patients (88%) were randomly assigned to early closure (n = 10) or late closure (n = 12), and 3 patients were excluded. Median Comprehensive Complication Index was 14.8 (0-54) and 0 (0-23) after early and late closure (p = 0.02). One or more complications occurred in 7 patients (70%) after early closure and in 2 patients (17%) after late closure (p = 0.01)' and complications were severe in 3 patients (30%) after early closure and 0 patients after late closure (p = 0.04). Reoperation was required in 1 patient (10%) and 0 patients (p = 0.26) after early closure and readmission was required in 7 patients (70%) and 1 patient (8%) after late closure (p = 0.003). LIMITATIONS This study was limited by early study closure and selection bias. CONCLUSIONS Early closure of a diverting ileostomy in patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent IPAA is associated with an unacceptably high rate of complications.

ALTA TASA DE COMPLICACIONES DESPUS DEL CIERRE PRECOZ DE LA ILEOSTOMA TERMINACIN TEMPRANA DEL ENSAYO ALEATORIZADO DE INTERVALO CORTO VERSUS LARGO PARA LA REVERSIN DE LA ILEOSTOMA EN ASA DESPUS DE LA CIRUGA DE RESERVORIO ILEAL ANTECEDENTES:En los pacientes con colitis ulcerosa que se someten a una anastomosis del reservorio ileoanal, se utiliza una ileostomía de derivación para disminuir la gravedad de las complicaciones de la anastomosis. Por lo general, la ileostomía se cierra después de un intervalo de 2 a 4 meses. Se desconoce la seguridad del cierre más temprano de la ileostomía después de la cirugía de reservorio.OBJETIVO:Comparar los resultados posoperatorios en pacientes asignados al azar al cierre temprano (7-12 días) o tardío (≥ 8 semanas) de la ileostomía después de la construcción de un reservorio ileal.DISEÑO:Este fue un ensayo aleatorizado prospectivo multicéntrico.ESCENARIO:El estudio se realizó en unidades quirúrgicas colorrectales en hospitales seleccionados de los Estados Unidos.PACIENTES:Se incluyeron adultos con colitis ulcerosa que se sometieron a proctocolectomía en 2 o 3 tiempos con anastomosis ileoanal con reservorio.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Los resultados primarios incluyeron el Índice Integral de Complicaciones a los 30 días después del cierre de la ileostomía. Los resultados secundarios incluyeron complicaciones, complicaciones graves, reoperaciones y readmisiones dentro de los 30 días posteriores al cierre de la ileostomía.RESULTADOS:El ensayo se detuvo después del análisis interino debido a una alta tasa de complicaciones después del cierre temprano de la ileostomía. Entre los 36 pacientes analizados, 1 (3%) tuvo una proctectomía no planificada con ileostomía terminal. De los 35 pacientes restantes, 28 (80%) fueron clínicamente elegibles para el cierre temprano y se sometieron a una evaluación radiológica. Hubo 3 fracasos radiológicos. De los 25 pacientes restantes, 22 (88 %) se asignaron al azar a cierre temprano (n = 10) o tardío (n = 12) y 3 fueron excluidos. La mediana del Índice Integral de Complicaciones fue de 14,8 (0-54) y 0 (0-23) después del cierre temprano y tardío (p = 0,02). Una o más complicaciones ocurrieron en 7 pacientes (70%) después del cierre temprano y 2 (17%) pacientes después del cierre tardío (p = 0,01) y fueron graves en 3 (30%) y 0 pacientes, respectivamente (p = 0,04). Requirieron reintervención en 1 (10%) y 0 (p = 0,26) y reingreso en 7 (70%) y 1 (8%) pacientes (p = 0,003).LIMITACIONES:Este estudio estuvo limitado por el cierre temprano del estudio; sesgo de selección.CONCLUSIONES:El cierre temprano de una ileostomía de derivación en pacientes con colitis ulcerosa con anastomosis de reservorio ileoanal se asocia con una tasa inaceptablemente alta de complicaciones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative intravenous fluid administration proves to be associated with surgical patients' postoperative outcomes. Few studies reported the relationship between intraoperative crystalloid-colloid infusion ratio and early surgical complications after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS Data on patients with underwent IPAA from January 2008 to March 2022 at our three inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) surgery centers were retrospectively collected. Intraoperative anesthetic data were recorded and later evaluated by our team anesthesiologist. RESULTS A total of 140 eligible patients with a median follow-up time of 6.0 years [interquartile range (IQR): 2.0-8.0] were enrolled. Among all enrolled patients, 34 (24.3%) developed early surgical complications after IPAA. Greater blood loss and lower crystalloid-colloid infusion ratio were observed in patients with early surgical complications. Crystalloid-colloid infusion ratio < 2 and blood loss ≥ 200 ml had the most significant area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.664 and 0.674 in predicting early surgical complications. Crystalloid-colloid infusion ratio < 2 [odds ratio (OR), 2.571; 95% confidence intervals (CI), 1.067-6.195, p = 0.035] and blood loss ≥ 200 ml (OR, 3.165; 95% CI, 1.288-7.777, p = 0.012) were independent risk factors for the development of early post-IPAA complications. CONCLUSION Intraoperative crystalloid-colloid infusion ratio < 2 and blood loss volume over 200 ml during IPAA contribute to the occurrence of early surgical complications. Early attentions and necessary interventions are warranted to avoid these risk factors during the IPAA surgery in order to prevent the development of early surgical complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis is a common late complication in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who undergo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). The heterogeneous nature of the clinical and endoscopic presentations could affect the evaluation of therapeutic interventions for pouchitis. Thus, identifying the risk factors and clinical outcomes of pouch inflammation at different sites and severity is becoming increasingly important for colorectal surgeons. METHODS Data on patients who underwent IPAA January from 2008 to June 2022 in our three pouch centers affiliated with the China UC Pouch Center Union were retrospectively collected. Pouchitis was categorized as a different phenotype according to the Chicago Classification. J pouches were classified into short (14 ± 2 cm) and long pouches (22 ± 2 cm) according to the distribution of ileal pouch length in our institute. RESULTS Altogether, 143 patients with a median follow-up time of 5.0 years (interquartile range: 2.0-8.0) were enrolled. Among them, 41 patients (28.7%) developed pouchitis and 32 patients (78%) had diffuse inflammation of the pouch. Patients with diffuse pouchitis had a higher pouchitis disease activity index and more seriously impaired improvement of long-term quality of life than those with pouch phenotypes. A short J pouch, recurrent UC, and preoperative high white blood cell count were independent risk factors for diffuse pouchitis. Furthermore, a short J pouch could effectively predict the occurrence of diffuse pouchitis with an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.614, a sensitivity of 62.5%, and a specificity of 60.4% (p = 0.049) and significantly decreased the overall diffuse pouchitis-free survival compared to a long J pouch (p = 0.0002). CONCLUSION Diffuse pouchitis is a common phenotype of pouchitis that seriously impairs long-term prognosis. For colorectal surgeons, decision-making regarding pouch construction with an appropriate length should be considered to prevent the development of diffuse pouchitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Current knowledge regarding the epidemiology of pouchitis is based on highly selected, mostly single-center, patient cohorts. Our objective was to prospectively determine the population-based incidence of pouchitis in patients with ulcerative colitis in the first 2 years after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis and analyze time trends of the incidence of pouchitis. METHODS Using national registries, we established a population-based cohort of all Danish patients undergoing proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis between 1996 and 2018. The primary outcome was the development of pouchitis within the first 2 years after surgery, evaluated by time period. We used Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard modeling to evaluate the time to development of pouchitis. RESULTS Overall, 1664 patients underwent an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. The cumulative incidence of pouchitis in the 2 years after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis increased throughout the study period, from 40% in the period from 1996 to 2000 (95% CI, 35%-46%) to 55% in the period from 2015 to 2018 (95% CI, 48%-63%). Patients undergoing surgery between 2015 and 2018 also showed an increased risk of pouchitis compared with the earliest study period (1996-2000) after adjusting for sex, age, and socioeconomic status (hazard ratio, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.20-2.05). CONCLUSIONS This population-based study showed a 15% absolute and 38% relative increase in the incidence of pouchitis among patients undergoing surgery between 1996 and 2018, with the greatest cumulative incidence of pouchitis shown in the most recent era (2015-2018). The striking increase in the incidence of pouchitis highlights the need for further research into causes and prevention of pouchitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The standard of care for surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis is restorative proctocolectomy with ileal J-pouch. Leaks from the tip of the J-pouch are a known complication, but there is a paucity of literature regarding this type of leak. OBJECTIVE We aimed to describe the diagnosis, management, and long-term clinical outcomes of leaks from the tip of the J-pouch at our institution. DESIGN This was a retrospective study of a prospectively maintained pouch registry. SETTING This study was conducted at a quaternary IBD referral center. PATIENTS Patients included those with ileal J-pouches diagnosed with leaks from the tip of the J-pouch. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The main measures of outcomes were pouch salvage rate, type of salvage procedures, and long-term Kaplan-Meier pouch survival. RESULTS We identified 74 patients with leaks from the tip of the J-pouch. Pain (68.9%) and pelvic abscess (40.9%) were the most common presentations, whereas 10.8% of patients presented with an acute abdomen. The leak was diagnosed by imaging and/or endoscopy in 74.3% of patients but only discovered during surgical exploration in 25.6% of patients. Some 63.5% of patients were diagnosed only after loop ileostomy closure, whereas 32.4% of patients were diagnosed before ileostomy closure. The most common methods used for diagnosis were pouchoscopy (31.1%) and gastrograffin enema (28.4%). A definitive nonoperative approach was attempted in 48.6% of patients but was successful in only 10.8% of patients overall. Surgical repair was attempted in 89.2% of patients, whereas 4.5% of patients had pouch excision. Salvage operations (n = 63) included sutured or stapled repair of the tip of the J (65%), pouch excision with neo-pouch (25.4%), and pouch disconnection, repair, and reanastomosis (9.5%). Ultimately' 10 patients (13.5%) required pouch excision, yielding an overall 5-year pouch survival rate of 86.3%. LIMITATIONS This was a retrospective review; referral bias may limit the generalizability. CONCLUSIONS Leaks from the tip of the J-pouch have variable clinical presentations and require a high index of suspicion. Pouch salvage surgery is required in the majority of patients and is associated with a high pouch salvage rate. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/C50 .

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Patient-Reported Outcomes After Pouch Surgery Delphi Consensus Study identified 7 symptoms and 7 consequences as key domains for evaluating and analyzing ileoanal pouch function. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to use items identified as priorities by the Patient-Reported Outcomes After Pouch Surgery Delphi Consensus Study to create a validated tool for quantifying pouch function. DESIGN Patients were administered a questionnaire-based survey eliciting responses regarding frequency of a variety of bowel symptoms. SETTING Patients with pouches were recruited at IBD centers and via patient advocacy websites. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Associations between items and quality of life were computed in a score generation cohort of 298 patients by logistic regression modeling. Individual score values were designated to items to create an additive score titled the Ileoanal Pouch Syndrome Severity Score. Validity was tested in a subsequent cohort of 386 patients using receiver operating characteristic area under the curve. In addition, test-retest validity, convergent validity, and clinical validity were evaluated. RESULTS After the determination of item weights, the range of possible scores was found to be 0 to 145. Score ranges were then determined as cutoff values for "ileoanal pouch syndrome." The score was then validated on the second patient cohort, with a receiver operating characteristic area under the curve of 0.83. Importantly, worsening severity of Ileoanal Pouch Syndrome Score significantly correlated with higher rates of poor quality of life. Finally, the questionnaire was rigorously validated to show test-retest validity, convergent validity compared to other bowel function scores, and clinical validity. CONCLUSIONS This study developed a patient-centered, clinically useful scoring system that can quantify the range and severity of symptoms experienced by patients with ileoanal pouches and their correlation with quality of life. DESARROLLO Y VALIDACIN DE UN SISTEMA DE PUNTUACIN BASADO EN SNTOMAS PARA LA DISFUNCIN INTESTINAL DESPUS DE LA RECONSTRUCCIN CON RESERVORIO ILEOANAL LA PUNTUACIN DE GRAVEDAD DEL SNDROME DE RESERVORIO ILEOANAL ANTECEDENTES:En el estudio Delphi Consensus los resultados informados por el paciente después de la cirugía de reservorio identificaron 7 síntomas y 7 consecuencias como dominios clave para evaluar y analizar la función del reservorio ileoanal.OBJETIVO:Utilizar elementos identificados como prioritarios por el estudio de consenso Delphi de resultados informados por el paciente después de la cirugía de reservorio para crear una herramienta validada para cuantificar la función del reservorio.DISEÑO:A los pacientes se les administró una encuesta basada en un cuestionario que obtuvo respuestas con respecto a la frecuencia de una variedad de síntomas intestinales.ESCENARIO:Los pacientes con reservorio fueron reclutados en centros de enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal y a través de sitios web dirigidos al paciente.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Las asociaciones entre los elementos y la calidad de vida se calcularon en una cohorte de generación de puntuación de 298 pacientes mediante un modelo de regresión logística. Se asignaron valores de puntuación individuales a los elementos para crear una puntuación aditiva denominada Puntuación de gravedad del síndrome de reservorio ileoanal. La validez se probó en una cohorte posterior de 386 pacientes utilizando el área característica operativa del receptor bajo la curva. Además, se evaluaron la validez del test-retest, la validez convergente y la validez clínica.RESULTADOS:Después de determinar el peso de los elementos, el rango de puntajes posibles fue de 0 a 145. Los rangos de puntaje se determinaron luego como valores de corte para el "síndrome de la reservorio ileoanal". A continuación, la puntuación se validó en la segunda cohorte de pacientes, con un área característica operativa del receptor bajo la curva de 0.3. Es importante destacar que el empeoramiento de la gravedad de la puntuación del síndrome de reservorio ileoanal se correlacionó significativamente con tasas más altas de mala calidad de vida. Por último, el cuestionario fue rigurosamente validado para mostrar validez test-retest, validez convergente en comparación con otras puntuaciones de función intestinal y validez clínica.CONCLUSIONES:Este estudio desarrolló un sistema de puntuación clínicamente útil y centrado en el paciente que puede cuantificar el rango y la gravedad de los síntomas experimentados por los pacientes con reservorio ileoanal y su correlación con la calidad de vida.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) causes diffuse friability and superficial wall degeneration that is accompanied by bleeding. UC, now recognized as a global illness, affects millions of people globally. The most effective treatment for UC is Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis (IPAA). Many medical experts and patients favor proctocolectomy with IPAA because it improves bowel function and allows feces to pass via the anus. Considering the most recent research, systematic reviews, statistical analysis, and recommendations, a selective literature search was carried out. The database used was PubMed. The current work provides a summary of surgical alternatives, results, and pre-and postoperative treatment for UC patients. In the course of their illness, about 30% of UC patients will need surgery. Due to its natural limitation to the colon and rectum, UC may mostly be treated surgically. The preferred surgical process is a restorative proctocolectomy with an IPAA. A 30% postoperative complication rate and a 0.1% death rate for this operation are both shown in large studies. One of the biggest things preventing UC from being successfully treated surgically is pouchitis. A long-run success rate of the pouch is >90% after 10 follow-ups, despite a significant surgical complication rate. For patients with UC to have the best possible outcome, extensive collaboration among the various specialties in the pre and postoperative context is crucial. In skilled centers, more than 90% of the total patients can eventually achieve a decent quality of life despite a 30% likelihood of early postoperative problems. UC patients may be cured with proctocolectomy, but there is a risk of morbidity that must be considered, especially in pediatric patients. As a result of advancements in our comprehension of the pathogenic mechanisms causing UC, new therapies have been proposed, the most significant change being the emergence of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) medications.

Abstract
A number of factors should be considered when performing an intestinal anastomosis in the setting of surgery for Crohn's disease. Preoperative risk factors, such as malnutrition, abdominal sepsis, and immunosuppressive medications, may increase the risk of postoperative anastomotic complications and alter surgical decision-making. The anatomical configuration and technique of constructing the anastomosis may have an impact on postoperative function and risk of recurrence, particularly in the setting of ileocolic resection, where the Kono-S anastomosis has gained popularity in recent years. There may be circumstances in which it may be more appropriate to perform an ostomy either without an anastomosis or to temporarily divert an anastomosis when the risk of anastomotic complications is felt to be high. In the setting of total abdominal colectomy or proctocolectomy for Crohn's colitis, restorative procedures may appropriate in lieu of a permanent stoma in certain scenarios.

BACKGROUND A robotic approach to total colectomy/proctectomy and ileal pouch reconstruction would seem to be a sensible use of the platform's enhanced reach, visualization, and dexterity. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to discuss current published data for robotic ileal pouch surgery. STUDY SELECTION The study selection included a paucity of published data to date, representing early learning curves and case series with small numbers. CONCLUSIONS Current robotic platforms may offer advantages, particularly in the low pelvis beyond what is found with a laparoscopic approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total proctocolectomy with IPAA reconstruction is the surgical approach of choice in ulcerative colitis, indeterminate colitis, familial adenomatous polyposis, and selected patients with Crohn's disease. Pouch stricture is a common complication after IPAA. OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify surgical management options for pouch stricture and offer a treatment algorithm. DATA SOURCES A computer-assisted search of the online bibliographic databases MEDLINE and Embase from 1990 to 2021 was performed. STUDY SELECTION Randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, observational studies, and case reports were considered. INTERVENTIONS Mechanical dilation, strictureplasty, stapler resection, pouch advancement, bypass, and repeat IPAA were included. MAIN OUTCOMES Twenty-three articles were considered eligible. Overall incidence of strictures varied from 5% to 38%. Strictures were categorized into 3 areas: pouch inlet (with a reported incidence of 9% to 56%), mid-pouch (with a reported incidence of 2%), and pouch-anal anastomosis (with a reported incidence of 43% to 87%). Pouch-anal strictures were initially managed using bougie or Hegar dilation, with various surgical procedures advocated when initial dilation failed. Mid-pouch strictures are relatively unstudied with scant data. Pouch inlet strictures can be surgically managed by various transabdominal techniques' including resection and reconnection, strictureplasty, or bypass. RESULTS Pouch-anal strictures should be managed in a step-up strategy as conservative procedures are associated with acceptable success rates. Initial mechanical dilation using bougie or Hegar dilation has a success rate of >80%, although it is likely to require repeat dilations. When these measures fail, transanal surgical approaches using strictureplasty, stapler resection' or pouch advancement should be offered. Transabdominal pouch revision should be offered to patients refractory to a transanal approach. In mid-pouch strictures, the treatment of choice is pouch revision and reanastomosis. Pouch inlet strictures can be managed by resection, strictureplasty, or bypass depending on the location and length of the stricture and surgeon experience. LIMITATIONS Studies were often small and retrospectively analyzed. There were no randomized controlled trials or comparison between different treatment options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, ileoanal pouch syndrome (IPS) has been proposed and defined according to a series of patient-centered bowel symptoms and consequences after ileoanal pouch surgery. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of IPS and the related disability in UC patients undergoing IPAA. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. SETTING This study was conducted in a tertiary center. PATIENTS Data of 128 UC-related IPAA from October 2014 to May 2021 were collected. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcomes were prevalence of IPS. RESULTS One hundred twenty-eight patients were enrolled with a median postoperative follow-up of 2.64 (IQR, 1.31-3.80) years. The prevalence of IPS and its constituent symptoms and consequences are lower for patients with longer follow-up after ileostomy reversal. Fecal incontinence and pad usage had the greatest impact on the quality of life affecting 29% and 31% of patients. IPS group had a significantly higher IBD-Disability Index score compared to the non-IPS group (27.25 vs 12.15, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that 4 symptoms (fecal incontinence, clustering, fragmentation and incomplete evacuation, and nocturnal symptoms) and 2 consequences (pad usage and negative mental alterations) were associated with increased IBD-Disability Index (p < 0.05). For patients followed-up for >2 years, multivariate analysis showed that male gender (OR, 4.485; 95% CI, 1.354-14.857; p = 0.014), preoperative duration of disease (OR, 1.013; 95% CI, 1.001-1.025; p = 0.031), and postoperative follow-up (OR, 0.462; 95% CI, 0.244-0.876; p = 0.049) were independently associated with IPS. LIMITATIONS This is a single-center cross-sectional study rather than a prospective multicenter large longitudinal study. CONCLUSIONS IPS is a common situation negatively affecting the quality of life for patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing IPAA, and its rate decreased over time from ileal pouch surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA is the procedure of choice when colectomy is needed for medically refractory ulcerative colitis. Pouchitis is one of the most common complications among patients who have undergone IPAA and represents a spectrum of disease varying in both phenotype and clinical course. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assist clinicians and surgeons in the treatment of both acute and chronic pouchitis, including newer therapies and future directions. DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT Diagnosis is made by endoscopy of the pouch with biopsy because other conditions may produce similar symptoms such as increased stool frequency, abdominal cramps, and urgency. Pouchitis is classified by duration (acute versus chronic), disease pattern (infrequent, relapsing, and continuous), and response to antibiotics (responsive, dependent, and refractory). The Pouchitis Disease Activity Index may be used to measure disease activity. The management of pouchitis is guided by the disease phenotype. Acute episodes are treated with an initial 2-week course of antibiotics (typically ciprofloxacin or metronidazole), although patients with relapsing or chronic pouchitis may require long-term antibiotic treatment or the cycling of different antibiotics. Certain probiotics may also be used for maintenance therapy in those with chronic symptoms. For patients with chronic antibiotic refractory pouchitis, oral budesonide, immunosuppressive agents (azathioprine), or biologic therapy (infliximab, adalimumab, vedolizumab, and ustekinumab) may be required for both induction and maintenance with close monitoring for potential side effects. In rare cases, diverting ileostomy or pouch excision may be required. CONCLUSION Pouchitis represents a spectrum of disease phenotypes, ranging from acute antibiotic responsive pouchitis to chronic antibiotic refractory pouchitis. The management of pouchitis is primarily directed by the disease phenotype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with ulcerative colitis often develop medically refractory colonic inflammation or colorectal neoplasia, and approximately 10% to 15% of patients require surgery. The most common surgical procedure is a restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA. Even if the preoperative diagnosis is ulcerative colitis, approximately 10% of patients can develop inflammatory pouch conditions resembling a Crohn's disease phenotype. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to review the diagnostic approach, prognosis, and management of IPAA with Crohn's disease-like features. DATA SOURCES The data sources include search in electronic databases. STUDY SELECTION This narrative review included studies focusing on pouches with Crohn's disease-like features. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The main topics in this review included the pathogenesis, risk factors, diagnosis, phenotypes, prognosis, and medications of pouches with Crohn's disease-like features. RESULTS A diagnostic approach for the pouch conditions resembling a Crohn's disease phenotype should be based on history-taking to evaluate its risk factors and endoscopic assessment of the pouch. Prior disease history and pathology, location of pouch complications, and timing of complications offer clues for the differential diagnosis of this phenotype. We advocate for the more descriptive term "pouch with Crohn's disease-like features" and reserve the term "Crohn's disease of the pouch" for patients who undergo IPAA and have a precolectomy diagnosis of Crohn's disease or whose colectomy pathology revealed Crohn's disease. Medications, which are often used for traditional Crohn's disease, show efficacy in pouches with Crohn's disease-like features as well. The poor prognosis associated with pouches with Crohn's disease-like features, particularly the fistulizing phenotype, underscores the importance of proactive monitoring and therapeutic intervention. LIMITATIONS The limitations include no explicit criteria for article selection. CONCLUSIONS This review suggests future research should seek to understand the natural history and meaningful shorter and longer term therapeutic targets for these types of pouch phenotypes. Long-term follow-up and prospective preoperative and postoperative interventional trials of treatments and prevention strategies are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic pouch surgery evolved under the late Dr. Victor Fazio's influence. OBJECTIVE This article aimed to describe construction of J- and S-pouches according to Fazio's teachings. TECHNICAL POINTS There are several key points to consider for pelvic pouch construction, starting with the decision of performing a 2- or 3-stage procedure and handling of the rectal stump. At time of pouch construction, ileal reach must be assessed early in the operative course, and mesenteric lengthening maneuvers are deployed as warranted. If these maneuvers still do not allow sufficient length, alternatives include an S-pouch, longer rectal stump/anal transitional zone, or returning to the operating room at a later date. The rectum is then mobilized sufficiently to allow a straight stapler firing to avoid outlet obstruction from impinged nearby tissues. The 15- to 20-cm pouch is constructed, ensuring that its staple lines are straight, staple line bleeding is addressed, the tip of the J is closed to be as short as possible, and a leak test is performed. At the time of the anastomosis, it is crucial to keep the mesentery and pouch straight, ensure no bowel is trapped below the mesentery, confirm that anterior structures are not being incorporated into the anastomosis, and perform a leak test, adding transanal sutures as needed to repair any defects. An ileostomy is then created. CONCLUSION Pouch construction is challenging. At each stage, consider the patient, who carries the ultimate risk. The end goal is a functional, long-lasting pouch.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with ulcerative colitis refractory to medication or familial adenomatous polyposis may require ileal pouch-anal anastomosis after a colectomy. IPAA is generally well tolerated. However, patients can experience posttreatment complications, including pouch strictures and leaks. Medical therapy has a limited role in mechanical fibrotic strictures, whereas surgery is invasive and costly. In the past few decades, endoscopic therapies have provided a less invasive and less costly intervention for pouch strictures and leaks. OBJECTIVE This systematic literature review aimed to describe the status of advancements in endoscopic therapy for pouch leaks and strictures. DATA SOURCES The sources used were PubMed and Cochrane databases. STUDY SELECTION Studies between January 1990 and January 2022, in any language, were included. Articles regarding surgical management or pouches other than adult ileal pouch-anal anastomosis were excluded. INTERVENTIONS Endoscopic management of acute and chronic leaks and strictures ileal pouch-anal anastomosis was included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Successful management (including persistent leak or stricture, pouch failure, subsequent endoscopy, or surgery) was measured. RESULTS Sixty-one studies were included in this review, including 4 meta-analyses or systematic reviews, 11 reviews, 17 cohort studies, and 18 case series. LIMITATIONS The limitations include qualitative review of all study types, with no randomized controlled studies available. CONCLUSION Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis leaks are various in configuration, and endoscopic therapies have included clipping leaks at the tip of the "J" as well as endoscopic sinusotomy. Endoscopic therapies for pouch strictures have included endoscopic balloon dilation, endoscopic stricturotomy, and endoscopic stricturoplasty, which are now considered first-line therapies for pouch strictures. Endoscopic balloon dilation has shown safety and efficacy in single, short, and straight strictures and endoscopic stricturotomy for refractory long, fibrotic, anastomotic strictures. Endoscopic therapies can delay or prevent invasive surgeries. Key tenets of successful endoscopic therapy include patient and lesion candidacy, an experienced endoscopist, and adequate rescue surgery plans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with ulcerative colitis may require colectomy for severe disease unresponsive or refractory to pharmacological therapy. Managing ulcerative colitis is complicated because there are many factors at play, including patient optimization and treatment, as the guidance varies on the ideal perioperative use of corticosteroids, immunomodulators, biologics, and small molecule agents. OBJECTIVE A systematic literature review was performed to describe the current status of perioperative management of ulcerative colitis. DATA SOURCES PubMed and Cochrane databases were used. STUDY SELECTION Studies published between January 2000 and January 2022, in any language, were included. Articles regarding pediatric or endoscopic management were excluded. INTERVENTIONS Perioperative management of ulcerative colitis was included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Successful management, including reducing surgical complication rates, was measured. RESULTS A total of 121 studies were included in this review, including 23 meta-analyses or systematic reviews, 25 reviews, and 51 cohort studies. LIMITATIONS Qualitative review including all study types. The varied nature of study types precludes quantitative comparison. CONCLUSION Indications for colectomy in ulcerative colitis include severe disease unresponsive to medical treatment and colitis-associated neoplasia. Urgent colectomy has a higher mortality rate than elective colectomy. Corticosteroids are associated with postsurgical infectious complications and should be stopped or weaned before surgery. Biologics are not associated with adverse postoperative effects and do not necessarily need to be stopped preoperatively. Additionally, the clinician must assess individuals' comorbidities, nutrition status, and risk of venous thromboembolism. Nutritional imbalance should be corrected, ideally at the preoperative period. Postoperatively, corticosteroids can be tapered on the basis of the length of preoperative corticosteroid use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is used to treat patients with ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis who need colectomy. While this procedure substantially improves patient's quality of life and reduces cancer risk, it is associated with a variety of sequelae' including surgical complications, inflammatory disorders, and neoplasia. Pouchitis, cuffitis, and Crohn's disease of the pouch are the most common inflammatory disorders of the pouch and para-pouch. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to elaborate on the histopathology of common inflammatory and neoplastic disorders of the pouch and para-pouch. DATA SOURCES A Medline search for English language studies published between 1981 and 2021 using the PubMed search engine. The terms "ileal pouch-anal anastomosis," "pouchitis," "pouchitis activity score," "secondary pouchitis," "Crohn's disease of the pouch," "Crohn's-like conditions of the pouch," "pre-pouch ileitis," "cuffitis," "pouch adenocarcinoma," and "pouch neoplasia" were used. STUDY SELECTION The published human studies that reported histopathology of common inflammatory and neoplastic disorders of the ileal pouch were selected and reviewed. CONCLUSIONS Histologic examination plays an essential role in confirming inflammation in pouchitis, identifying etiology and clues for secondary pouchitis, and diagnosing neoplasia. A standardized, simple, and reproducible histologic grading system for pouchitis is needed. Pouch and para-pouch glandular dysplasia diagnosis is challenging and should always be reviewed by at least one gastrointestinal pathologist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used for the treatment of perianal Crohn's fistulizing disease by direction injection. No studies to date have included patients with an ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) in situ. METHODS A phase IB/IIA randomized control trial of bone marrow derived allogeneic MSCs via direct injection to treat adult patients with a peripouch fistula(s) was conducted. 75 million MSCs were administered with a 22G needle; repeat injection at 3 months was given if complete clinical and radiographic healing were not achieved. Adverse and serious adverse events at post procedure day 1, week 2, week 6, month 3, month 6 and month 12 were assessed. Clinical healing, radiographic healing per pelvic MRI, and patient reported outcomes were assessed at the same time points. RESULTS A total of 22 patients were enrolled and treated; 16 were treatment and 6 were control. There were no adverse or serious adverse events related to MSC therapy. At six months, 31% of the treatment group and 20% of the control had complete clinical and radiographic healing. When stratifying the treatment group into perianal (n=7) and anovaginal (n=8) fistulas, 6 month healing in the treatment groups was 57% and 0%, respectively. The perianal Crohn's disease activity index (PCDAI), Wexner incontinence score, and VanAssche score all significantly decreased in treatment patients at six months; only the PCDAI decreased in the control group. CONCLUSION Bone marrow derived allogeneic MSCs offer a safe and effective alternative treatment approach for peripouch fistulas in the setting of a Crohn's like phenotype of the pouch.

Abstract
Proctocolectomy with ileal J‑pouch-anal and rectal reconstruction is the standard surgical treatment for ulcerative colitis, selected cases of Crohn's disease, FAP and multilocular colon carcinoma. Although this treatment has been continuously developed over the last 40 years, the long-term success rate is 80-90% of the treated patients. The reasons for this are manifold: chronic pouchitis, incontinence, secondary diagnosis of Crohn's disease, fistulas, severe surgical complications, rectal stump left for too long, chronic abscess and surgical technical errors. This article deals with the control of acute complications and with the management of long-term complications. Some of the triggering complications for pouch failure do not generally imply failure of the method. A correction, closure of the fistula and in individual cases also a completely new pouch creation can restore a good pouch function in about 75% of cases. Various indications, techniques and results are presented.

Abstract
The continuous development of pouch surgery has enabled continence-preserving treatment after coloproctectomy. The ileoanal J‑pouch is nowadays the standard reconstruction after restorative coloproctectomy with excellent functional long-term results. Taking the relative contraindications and a suitable patient selection into consideration, pouch placement can be indicated not only for ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis, but also for patients with nonfistular Crohn's disease. Due to a high treatment density with immunosuppressants, the surgical treatment regimen should be subdivided into a multistage procedure, whereby according to current data a modified two-stage procedure should be favored.

Abstract
Anastomotic leaks remain a dreaded complication after ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA). Their impacts can be devastating, ranging from an acute leak leading to postoperative sepsis to chronic leaks and sinus tracts resulting in long-term pouch dysfunction and subsequent pouch failure. The management of acute leaks is intricate. Initial management is important to resolve acute sepsis, but the type of acute intervention impacts long-term pouch function. Aggressive management in the postoperative period, including the use of IV fluids, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and operative interventions may be necessary to preserve pouch structure and function. Early identification and knowledge of the most common areas of leak, such as at the IPAA anastomosis, are important for guiding management. Long-term complications, such as pouch sinuses, pouch-vaginal fistulas, and diminished IPAA function complicate the overall survival and functionality of the pouch. Knowledge and awareness of the identification and management of leaks is crucial for optimizing IPAA success.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) requires surgical management in 20 to 30% of patients. Indications for surgery include medically refractory disease, dysplasia, cancer, and other complications of UC. Appropriate patient selection for timing and staging of surgery is paramount for optimal outcomes. Restorative proctocolectomy is the preferred standard of care and can afford many patients with excellent quality of life. There have been significant shifts in the treatment of UC-associated dysplasia, with less patients requiring surgery and more entering surveillance programs. There is ongoing controversy surrounding the management of UC-associated colorectal cancer and the techniques that should be used. This article reviews the most recent literature on the indications for elective and emergent surgical intervention for UC and the considerations behind the surgical options.

Abstract
Up to 30% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) will require surgical management of their disease during their lifetime. An ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the gold standard of care, giving patients the ability to be free from UC's bowel disease and avoid a permanent ostomy. Despite surgical advancements, a minority of patients will still experience pouch failure which can be debilitating and often require further surgical interventions. Signs and symptoms of pouch failure should be addressed with the appropriate workup and treatment plans formulated according with the patient's wishes. This article will discuss the identification, workup, and treatment options for pouch failure after IPAA.

Abstract
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs) are chronic, relapsing and disabling diseases that affect the gastrointestinal tract. This relapsing course is often unpredictable with severe flares and the need for intensive medical treatment, hospitalization, or emergent/urgent surgery, all of which significantly impact patients' quality of life (QoL). QoL in IBD patients is significantly lower than in the general population, and depression and anxiety have been shown to have a higher prevalence than in healthy individuals, especially during disease flares. Complications requiring hospitalization and repeated surgeries are not uncommon during the disease course and significantly affect QoL in IBD patients. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) can be used to measure the impact of chronic disease on QoL from the patient's perspective. The use of PROMs in IBD patients undergoing surgery could help to investigate the impact of the surgical procedure on QoL and determine whether there is any improvement or worsening. This review summarizes the use of PROMs to assess QoL after various surgical procedures required for IBD treatment.

Abstract
Background Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the gold standard procedure for ulcerative colitis refractory to medical treatment, as an alternative to permanent end ileostomy. Gaining experience in pouch surgery is difficult as the procedure is performed infrequently. This study presents an institutional initiative to promote standardisation of multidisciplinary care in IPAA surgery. Methods A dedicated pathway for patients who had an IPAA or are considering IPAA surgery was developed among colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists, paediatric colorectal surgeons, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) nurses, dietitians, stoma nurses, trainees in colorectal surgery. Pathway items were discussed and finalised via emails and videoconferences.The pathway included triaging of patients referred for IPAA surgery, preoperative IBD multidisciplinary team discussion and management plan for surgery, surgical review prior to surgery, peer to peer counselling, surgical technique, postoperative short-term and long-term follow-up, audit, research and training in IPAA surgery. Results A multidisciplinary preoperative pathway was developed and a stepwise approach to minimally invasive ileoanal pouch surgery was formalised. A dedicated one-stop ileoanal pouch clinic was established integrating endoscopy and imaging on the same day of the consultation with the surgical and gastroenterology team. The clinic reviewed 72 patients over 24 months, and during the same time 36 patients underwent IPAA surgery at our institution. Conclusions We have described our initial experience in establishing a specialist IPAA surgery pathway and have proposed outcome measures that we hope will support a subspecialty IPAA service.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis has been associated with multiple short- and long-term complications. In this review, we examine the role of biomarkers, imaging, and pouchoscopy in the assessment of patients after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, with a particular focus on the emergence of novel biomarkers and techniques for evaluating and risk stratifying patients after this procedure in the hopes of improving outcomes in this specific population. RECENT FINDINGS There are indications that that the incidence of pouchitis may be increasing in recent decades. Calprotectin and other non-invasive imaging tests such as ultrasound may offer advantages in distinguishing patients with inflammatory conditions of the pouch from other etiologies. In the search for other biomarkers that may identify patients at risk for inflammatory conditions of the pouch, the stool microbiota and metabolomics may play a key role in identifying those patients at greatest risk for complications. Advances in biomarkers, imaging, and standardized pouchoscopy scoring offer immediate improvements in clinical care and will prompt future research efforts.

Abstract
The population of older patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is expected to continue to increase in the coming decades, which necessitates and improved understanding of the critical issues faced by patients in this population. Although restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA remains the surgical procedure of choice for the majority of patients with medically refractory ulcerative colitis (UC) and UC-related dysplasia, the evidence surrounding surgery for older patients UC remains sparse. In particular, comparisons of outcomes among older and younger patients undergoing IPAA and comparisons between older patients undergoing IPAA and those undergoing proctocolectomy with end ileostomy remain an understudied and important issue, as evidence in this area will be used to guide patient-centered surgical choices among older patients who require colectomy for UC. In this narrative review, we review the available literature regarding IPAA for older patients, as well as the pre-, peri-, and postoperative factors that may influence outcomes in this population.

Abstract
Acute or chronic anastomotic leak is a common complication after any gastrointestinal surgery in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The underlying disease of the bowel, comorbidities, malnutrition, anemia, and concurrent use of corticosteroids increase the risk for the development of anastomotic leaks. Anastomotic leak is traditionally managed with surgery. However, recent innovation has allowed the use of endoscopic methods in the management of some anastomotic leaks and their consequences. This article discusses a variety of endoscopic techniques that have either been established or are under current evaluation, for the management of anastomotic leaks in patients with IBD.

Abstract
The complication rate after surgery in patients with inflammatory bowel disease is high owing to chronic inflammatory and suboptimal physiologic state, the effect of steroids and immunosuppressive medication, and the inherent complexity of the surgical procedures. Although some of the complications after surgery are similar for Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis, others are specific to the diagnosis. Complications are divided into early postoperative and late complications. Specific complications are related to more extensive surgery such as a proctocolectomy or reoperative procedures or with complex reconstructive procedures such as the ileoanal pouch and continent ileostomy.

Abstract
Background Ileal pouch inflammation is a common problem following ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). Despite its prevalence, diagnosis remains multimodal and requires endoscopy. The use of biomarkers in the prediction of and/or association with pouchitis has not been well characterized. We performed a systematic review to summarize the available evidence. Method A search of Ovid, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science was conducted. Inclusion criteria included studies evaluating biomarkers for the evaluation and prediction of inflammation in patients with IPAA utilizing pouchoscopy as the gold standard. Exclusion criteria included studies on the role of the microbiome or genetic markers. Results A total of 28 studies, 5 case-control studies, and 23 observational cohort studies were identified. Fecal biomarkers were assessed in 23 studies, of which fecal calprotectin was the most commonly studied with sensitivities ranging from 57% to 92% and specificities from 19% to 92%. Six studies examined serum biomarkers. None of the serum biomarkers demonstrated a high sensitivity or specificity in association with pouch inflammation. Six studies described the longitudinal assessment of biomarkers. Of these studies, only three reported a predictive role of biomarkers in diagnosing endoscopic inflammation. Conclusions Biomarkers have emerged as a potential option to improve the management of pouchitis given the relative ease of sampling compared to pouchoscopy. Unfortunately, the evaluated biomarkers have not consistently demonstrated accuracy in predicting inflammation. Moreover, these biomarkers have not been reliably shown to be sensitive or specific in association with endoscopic pouch inflammation to merit their widespread use in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The treatment of chronic pouchitis remains a challenge due to the paucity of high-quality studies. We aimed to provide guidance for clinicians on the appropriateness of medical and surgical treatments in chronic pouchitis. METHODS Appropriateness of medical and surgical treatments in patients with chronic pouchitis was considered in 16 scenarios incorporating presence/absence of four variables: pouchitis symptoms, response to antibiotics, significant prepouch ileitis, and Crohn's disease (CD)-like complications (i.e., stricture or fistula). Appropriateness of permanent ileostomy in patients refractory to medical treatments was considered in eight additional scenarios. Using the RAND/UCLA appropriateness method, international IBD expert panelists rated appropriateness of treatments in each scenario on a 1-9 scale. RESULTS Chronic antibiotic therapy was rated appropriate only in asymptomatic antibiotic-dependent patients with no CD-like complications and inappropriate in all other scenarios. Ileal-release budesonide was rated appropriate in 6/16 scenarios including patients with significant prepouch ileitis but no CD-like complications. Probiotics were considered either inappropriate (14/16) or uncertain (2/16). Biologic therapy was considered appropriate in most scenarios (14/16) and uncertain in situations where significant prepouch ileitis or CD-like complications were absent (2/16). In patients who are refractory to all medications, permanent ileostomy was considered appropriate in all scenarios (7/8) except in asymptomatic patients with no CD-like complications. CONCLUSIONS In the presence of significant prepouch ileitis or CD-like complications, chronic antibiotics and probiotics are inappropriate. Biologics are appropriate in all patients except in asymptomatic patients with no evidence of complications. Permanent ileostomy is appropriate in most medically refractory patients.

Abstract
Historically, dietitians played a minor part in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Patients were commonly referred for consequences of uncontrolled disease, such as malnutrition and bowel obstruction risk. Today, dietitians are fundamental members of the multidisciplinary IBD team, from educating on the role of diet at diagnosis and throughout the lifespan of a patient with IBD to guiding primary induction therapy. This aspect is reflected in published guidelines for IBD management, which previously placed diet as only a minor factor, but now have diet-specific publications. This Review describes a four-step approach in a dietitian's assessment and management of diet in patients with IBD: (1) identifying and correcting nutritional gaps and dietary imbalances; (2) considering diet to treat active disease with the use of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) or emerging diets that could replace EEN; (3) using therapeutic diets to control existing complications of IBD, such as reduced fibre to prevent bowel obstruction in stricturing disease or a fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols diet to manage co-existing functional gut symptoms; and (4) considering the role of diet in preventing IBD development in high-risk populations.

Abstract
Fistula in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a well-known yet poorly understood phenotype. Pathophysiology is largely based on the activation of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT); however, interactions with the microbiome, genetics, mechanical stress and the presence of stricturing disease, and surgical complications play a role. Perianal penetrating disease represents a more severe phenotype in IBD. Pouch-associated fistula can arise as a result of an anastomotic leak, surgical complications, or Crohn's disease (CD) of the pouch. Classification is site-dependent, includes a range of severity, and informs management. It is important to determine associated symptoms and recognize the complex interplay of underlying etiologies to form the basis of appropriate care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is commonly used to restore gastrointestinal continuity after surgical treatment of mucosal ulcerative colitis (MUC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). The aim of the present systematic review was to compare the outcomes of patients with MUC and patients with FAP who underwent IPAA. METHODS A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)-compliant systematic review was performed. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched through December 2021. Cohort and randomized studies were eligible for inclusion if they directly compared patients with MUC and FAP who underwent IPAA. The main outcome measures were pouch failure, complications, and need for pouch excision or revision. ROBINS-I tool was used to assess the risk of bias across the studies. A random-effect meta-analysis was conducted. RESULTS Twenty-three studies (9200 patients) were included in this meta-analysis. Seven thousand nine hundred fifty (86.4%) had MUC and 1250 (13.6%) had FAP. The median age of patients was 33.1 years. The male to female ratio was 1.4:1. MUC had higher odds of pouchitis (OR 3.9, 95% CI 2.8-5.4, p < 0.001), stricture (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.25-2.65, p = 0.002), fistula (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.18-2.54, p = 0.004), and total complications (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.3-2.77, p < 0.001) as compared to FAP. Both groups had similar odds of pelvic sepsis, leakage, pouch failure, excision, revision, and fecal incontinence. CONCLUSIONS Although patients with MUC undergoing IPAA may be at a higher risk of developing complications, particularly pouchitis, stricture, and fistula; the ultimate and functional outcome of the pouch is similar to patients with FAP. Pouch failure, excision and revision were similar in the two groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite significant differences in surgical outcomes between pediatric and adult patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) undergoing colectomy, counseling on pediatric outcomes has largely been guided by data from adults. We compared differences in pouch survival between pediatric and adult patients who underwent total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). METHODS This was a retrospective single-center study of patients with UC treated with IPAA who subsequently underwent pouchoscopy between 1980 and 2019. Data were collected via electronic medical records. We stratified the study population based on age at IPAA. Differences between groups were assessed using t tests and chi-square tests. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to compare survival probabilities. Differences between groups were assessed using a log-rank test. RESULTS We identified 53 patients with UC who underwent IPAA before 19 years of age and 329 patients with UC who underwent IPAA at or after 19 years of age. Subjects who underwent IPAA as children were more likely to require anti-tumor nerosis factor (TNF) postcolectomy compared with adults (41.5% vs 25.8%; P < .05). Kaplan-Meier estimates revealed that pediatric patients who underwent IPAA in the last 10 years had a 5-year pouch survival probability that was 28% lower than that of those who underwent surgery in the 1990s or 2000s (72% vs 100%; P < .001). Further, children who underwent IPAA and received anti-TNF therapies precolectomy had the most rapid progression to pouch failure when compared with anti-TNF-naive children and with adults who were either exposed or naive precolectomy (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS There are lower rates of pouch survival for children with UC who underwent IPAA following the uptake of anti-TNF therapy compared with both historical pediatric control subjects and contemporary adults.

Functional outcomes of transanal versus transabdominal restorative proctectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in ulcerative colitis-a monocentric retrospective comparative study. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2022; 407:3607-3614. [PMID: 35945298 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-022-02640-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 10/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) ensures satisfactory gastro-intestinal function and quality of life (QoL) in patients with refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). The transanal approach to proctectomy and IPAA (Ta-IPAA) has been developed to address the technical shortfalls of the traditional transabdominal approach (Tabd-IPAA). Ta-IPAA has proven to be safe but there is lack of reported functional outcomes. Aim of this study is to compare functional outcomes and QoL after Ta- or Tabd-IPAA for UC. METHODS This is a retrospective study of consecutive UC patients who underwent IPAA between 2011 and 2017, operated according to a modified 2- or 3-stage approach. Close rectal dissection was performed in Ta-IPAA as opposed to total mesorectal excision in Tabd-IPAA. A propensity score weighting was performed. Functional outcomes were assessed using the pouch functional score (PFS) and the Öresland score (OS). The global quality of life scale (GQOL) was used for patients' perspective on QoL. Follow-up was scheduled at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, postoperatively. RESULTS One hundred and eight patients were included: 38 patients had Ta-IPAA. At 12 months follow-up, mean OS and PFS were 4.6 (CI 3.2-6.0) vs 6.2 (CI 5.0-7.3), p = 0.025 and 6.1 (CI 3.5-8.8) vs 7.4 (CI 5.4-9.5), p = 0.32, for Ta and Tabd-IPAA, respectively. Mean GQOL for Ta-IPAA was 82.5 (CI 74.8-90.1) vs 75.5 (69.4-81.7) for Tabd-IPAA (p = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS At 12 months postoperatively, pouch function and QoL of Ta-IPAA are probably as good as those of Tabd-IPAA. Limitations include retrospectivity, differences in the surgical technique, and lack of validated scores for QoL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obese patients are traditionally considered difficult pouch candidates because of the potential for intraoperative technical difficulty and increased postoperative complications. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of obese versus nonobese patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing an IPAA. DESIGN This is a retrospectively, propensity score-matched, prospectively collected cohort study. SETTING This study was conducted at an IBD quaternary referral center. PATIENTS Patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing IPAA (1990-2018) were included. Obesity was defined as a BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary measures included 30-day complications, long-term anastomotic leak, and pouch failure rate (excision, permanent diversion, revision). RESULTS Of 3300 patients, 631 (19.1%) were obese (median BMI = 32.4 kg/m 2 ). On univariate analysis, obese patients were more likely to be >50 years old (32.5% versus 22.7%, p < 0.001), ASA class 3 (41.7% versus 27.7%, p < 0.001), have diabetes (8.1% versus 3.3%, p < 0.001), and have had surgery in the biologic era (72.4% versus 66.2%, p = 0.003); they were less likely to have received preoperative steroids (31.2% versus 37.4%, p = 0.004). After a median follow-up of 7 years, 66.7% had completed at least 1 quality-of-life survey. Pouch survival in the matched sample was 99.2% (99.8% nonobese versus 95.4% obese, p = 0.002). After matching and controlling for confounding variables, worse clinical outcomes associated with obesity included global quality of life (relative risk, -0.71; p = 0.002) and long-term pouch failure (HR, 4.24; p = 0.007). Obesity was also independently associated with an additional 27 minutes of operating time ( p < 0.001). There was no association of obesity with the likelihood of developing a postoperative complication, length of stay, or pouch leak. CONCLUSION Restorative ileoanal pouch surgery in obese patients with ulcerative colitis is associated with a relatively decreased quality of life and increased risk of long-term pouch failure compared with nonobese patients. Obese patients may benefit from focused counseling about these risks before undergoing restorative pouch surgery. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B873 . RESULTADOS A CORTO Y LARGO PLAZO EN LA REALIZACIN DEL RESERVORIO ILEAL EN PACIENTES OBESOS CON COLITIS ULCEROSA ANTECEDENTES:Habitualmente se considera a los obesos como pacientes difíciles para la realización de un reservorio ileal, debido a su alta probabilidad de presentar dificultades técnicas intraoperatoria y aumento de las complicaciones posoperatorias.OBJETIVO:El propósito de este estudio fue comparar los resultados de pacientes con colitis ulcerosa obesos versus no obesos sometidos a un reservorio ileal y anastomosis anal (IPAA).DISEÑO:Este es un estudio de cohorte recopilado prospectivamente, retrospectivo, emparejado por puntajes de propensión.AJUSTE:Este estudio se llevó a cabo en un centro de referencia de cuarto nivel para enfermedades inflamatorias del intestino.PACIENTES:Se incluyeron pacientes con colitis ulcerosa sometidos a un reservorio ileal y anastomosis anal (1990-2018). Obesidad definida como un IMC ≥ 30 kg/m2.PRINCIPALES RESULTADO MEDIDOS:Los principales resultados medidos incluyeron complicaciones a los 30 días, fuga anastomótica a largo plazo y tasa de falla del reservorio ileal (escisión, derivación permanente, revisión).RESULTADOS:De 3.300 pacientes, 631 (19,1%) eran obesos (mediana de IMC = 32,4 kg/m2). En el análisis univariado, los pacientes obesos tenían más probabilidades de ser > 50 años (32,5% frente a 22,7%, p < 0,001), clase ASA 3 (41,7% frente a 27,7%, p < 0,001), tener diabetes (8,1% frente a 3,3%, p < 0,001), haberse sometido a cirugía en la era biológica (72,4% frente a 66,2%, p = 0,003), y tenían menos probabilidades de haber recibido esteroides preoperatorios (31,2% frente a 37,4%, p = 0,004). Después de una mediana de seguimiento de 7 años, el 66,7% había completado al menos una encuesta de calidad de vida. La supervivencia de la bolsa en la muestra emparejada fue del 99,2% (99,8% no obesos versus 95,4% obesos, p = 0,002). Después de emparejar y controlar las variables de confusión, los peores resultados clínicos asociados con la obesidad incluyeron la calidad de vida global (RR = -0,71, p = 0,002) y el fracaso de la bolsa a largo plazo (HR = 4,24, p = 0,007). La obesidad también se asoció de forma independiente con 27 minutos adicionales de tiempo quirúrgico ( p < 0,001). No hubo asociación de la obesidad con la probabilidad de desarrollar una complicación posoperatoria, la duración de la estadía o la fuga de la bolsa.CONCLUSIÓNES:La cirugía restauradora del reservorio ileoanal en pacientes obesos con colitis ulcerosa se asocia a una disminución relativa de la calidad de vida y un mayor riesgo de falla del reservorio a largo plazo en comparación con los pacientes no obesos. Los pacientes obesos pueden beneficiarse de un asesoramiento centrado en estos riesgos antes de someterse a una cirugía restauradoracon reservorio ileal y anastomosis anal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The data on management and outcomes of pelvic sepsis after re-do IPAA are scarce. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to report our management algorithm of pelvic sepsis in the setting of re-do IPAA and compare functional outcomes and quality of life after successful management of pelvic sepsis with a no sepsis control group. DESIGN This is a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS This investigation is based on a single academic practice group experience on re-do IPAA. PATIENTS Patients who underwent re-do IPAA for ileal pouch failure between September 2016 and September 2020 were included in the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Management of pelvic sepsis was reported. Functional outcomes, restrictions, and quality-of-life scores were compared between the sepsis and no sepsis groups. RESULTS One-hundred ten patients were included in our study, of whom 25 (22.7%) developed pelvic sepsis. Twenty-three patients presented with pelvic sepsis before ileostomy closure, and 2 patients presented with pelvic sepsis after ileostomy closure. There were 6 pouch failures in the study period due to pelvic sepsis. Our management was successful in 79% of the patients with median follow-up of 26 months. Treatments included interventional radiology abscess drainage (n = 7), IV antibiotics alone (n = 5), interventional radiology drainage and mushroom catheter placement (n = 1), mushroom catheter placement (n = 1), and endoluminal vacuum-assisted closure (n = 1). Average number of bowel movements, urgency, incontinence, pad use, and seepage were comparable between the pelvic sepsis and no pelvic sepsis groups ( p > 0.05). Lifestyle alterations, Cleveland Global Quality of Life scores, and happiness with the results of the surgery were similar ( p > 0.05). LIMITATIONS This study is limited by its low study power and limited follow-up time. CONCLUSIONS Pelvic sepsis is common after re-do IPAA, and management varies according to the location and size of the abscess/sinus. If detected early, our management strategy was associated with high pouch salvage rates. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B823 .
