Abstract
INTRODUCTION To better inform the risk of cuffitis in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), we aimed to identify its occurrence and associated precolectomy factors in a large multicenter cohort of patients who underwent restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). METHODS This study was a retrospective cohort analysis of individuals diagnosed with UC or indeterminate colitis who underwent RPC with IPAA for refractory disease or dysplasia at Mount Sinai Hospital or the University of Chicago followed by at least 1 pouchoscopy with report of the pouch-anal anastomosis. The primary outcome was cuffitis defined as ulceration of the cuff as reported in each pouchoscopy report. RESULTS The pouch-anal anastomosis was mentioned in the pouchoscopy reports of 674 patients, of whom 525 (77.9%) had a stapled anastomosis. Among these, cuffitis occurred in 313 (59.6%) patients a median of 1.51 (interquartile range 0.59-4.17) years after final surgical stage. On multivariable analysis, older age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.02), extensive disease (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.01-1.78), exposure to biologics before colectomy (HR, 2.51; 95% CI, 1.93-3.27), and exposure to at least 2 or more biologics before colectomy (HR, 2.18; 95% CI, 1.40-3.39) were significantly associated with subsequent cuffitis. CONCLUSIONS In this multicenter study of patients who underwent RPC with stapled IPAA and at least 1 follow-up pouchoscopy, cuffitis occurred in approximately 60% and was significantly associated with extensive disease and exposure to multiple biologics precolectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare outcomes between stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and hand-sewn IPAA with mucosectomy in cases of ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis) guidelines 2020 and AMSTAR 2 (Assessing the methodological quality of systematic reviews) guidelines. We included randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs). Subgroup analysis was performed according to the indication for surgery. RESULTS The bibliographic research yielded 31 trials: 3 RCTs, 5 prospective clinical trials, and 24 CCTs including 8872 patients: 4871 patients in the stapled group and 4038 in the hand-sewn group. Regarding postoperative outcomes, the stapled group had a lower rate of anastomotic stricture, small bowel obstruction, and ileal pouch failure. There were no differences between the 2 groups in terms of operative time, anastomotic leak, pelvic sepsis, pouchitis, or hospital stay. For functional outcomes, the stapled group was associated with greater outcomes in terms of seepage per day and by night, pad use, night incontinence, resting pressure, and squeeze pressure. There were no differences in stool Frequency per 24h, stool frequency at night, antidiarrheal medication, sexual impotence, or length of the high-pressure zone. There was no difference between the 2 groups in terms of dysplasia and neoplasia. CONCLUSIONS Compared to hand-sewn anastomosis, stapled ileoanal anastomosis leads to a large reduction in anastomotic stricture, small bowel obstruction, ileal pouch failure, seepage by day and night, pad use, and night incontinence. This may ensure a higher resting pressure and squeeze pressure in manometry evaluation. PROTOCOL REGISTRATION The protocol was registered at PROSPERO under CRD 42022379880.

Serious Infections in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease 2002-2017-A Nationwide Cohort Study. J Pediatr 2021; 238:66-73.e1. [PMID: 34216628 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2021.06.076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess absolute and relative risks of serious infections (resulting in inpatient care) in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compared with the general population. STUDY DESIGN We identified children (<18 years of age) with a first diagnosis of IBD in the Swedish nationwide health registry (2002-2017; n = 5767) and individuals from the general population matched for sex, age, calendar year, and place of residence (reference group; n = 58 418). Hazard ratios (HRs) for serious infections were estimated using Cox regression separately in children with ulcerative colitis (n = 2287), Crohn's disease (n = 2365), and IBD unclassified (n = 1115). RESULTS During 17 408 person-years of follow-up, 672 serious infections (38.6/1000 person-years) occurred among the children with IBD compared with 778 serious infections in the reference group (4.0/1000 person-years; adjusted HR (95% CI), 9.46 [8.53-10.5]). HRs were increased for children with ulcerative colitis 8.48 (7.21-9.98), Crohn's disease 9.30 (7.86-11.0), and IBD unclassified 12.1 (9.66-16.1). HRs were highest in the first year of follow-up (HR = 12.6 [10.7-14.9]), then decreasing to a 4.8-fold increased risk beyond 10 years of follow-up. Particularly high HRs were also seen in children with IBD undergoing surgery. Apart from a high relative risk of gastrointestinal infections resulting in hospitalization, children with IBD were also at an increased risk of opportunistic infections (HR = 11.8 [6.17-22.5]). CONCLUSIONS Children with IBD have an increased risk of serious infection requiring hospitalization compared with the general population.

Abstract
Pouchitis is a common complication in ulcerative colitis patients after total proctocolectomy. This is an unspecific inflammation of the ileo-anal pouch, the aetiology of which is not fully known. This inflammation induces the onset of symptoms such as urgency, diarrhoea, rectal bleeding and abdominal pain. Many patients suffering from pouchitis have a lower quality of life. In addition to symptoms, an endoscopy with biopsies is mandatory in order to establish a definite diagnosis. The recommended index to assess its activity is the Pouchitis Disease Activity Index (PDAI), but its modified version (PDAIm) can be used in clinical practice. In accordance with the duration of symptoms, pouchitis can be classified as acute (<4 weeks) or chronic (>4 weeks), and, regarding its course, pouchitis can be infrequent (<4 episodes per year), recurrent (>4 episodes per year) or continuous.

Abstract
The accepted current standard for treatment of medically refractory ulcerative colitis is total proctocolectomy with an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for restoration of continence. There are 2 techniques by which the anastomosis can be performed, including handsewn and stapled. Handsewn anastomosis with mucosectomy was the first method described; however, it has been associated with significant incontinence. The double-stapled anastomosis was developed in response to improve postoperative function. Controversy remains as to which technique is superior as both have disadvantages. This review article addresses differences between the 2 methodologies in relation to postoperative complications, anorectal physiology, functional outcomes, and oncological safety.

Does intramesorectal proctectomy with rectal eversion affect postoperative complications compared to standard total mesorectal excision in patients with ulcerative colitis? J Gastrointest Surg 2014; 18:385-90.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proctectomy for ulcerative colitis (UC) can be performed via intramesorectal proctectomy with concomitant rectal eversion (IMP/RE) or total mesorectal excision (TME). No data exists comparing the outcomes of the two techniques. METHODS All UC patients undergoing J-pouch surgery at a single institution over 10.5 years were included. Postoperative complications with IMP/RE vs. TME were analyzed using univariable and multivariable statistics. RESULTS One hundred nineteen of 201 (59 %) patients underwent IMP/RE. Demographic and disease characteristics were similar between groups. On univariable analysis, IMP/RE had fewer total perioperative complications than TME (p = 0.02), but no differences in postoperative length of stay or readmissions. Multivariable regression accounting for patient age, comorbidities, disease severity, preoperative medications, operative technique, and follow-up time (mean 5.5 ± 0.2 years) suggested that both anastomotic leak rate (OR 0.32; p = 0.04) and overall postoperative complications (2.10 ± 0.17 vs. 2.60 ± 0.20; p = 0.05) were lower in the IMP/RE group. CONCLUSIONS IMP/RE may be associated with fewer overall postoperative complications compared to TME. However, further studies on functional and long-term outcomes are needed.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the feasibility and long-term functional outcome of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis with modified double-stapled mucosectomy.
METHODS: From January 2002 to March 2011, fourty-five patients underwent ileal pouch anal anastomosis with modified double-stapled mucosectomy technique and the clinical data obtained for these patients were reviewed.
RESULTS: Patients with ulcerative colitis (n = 29) and familial adenomatous polyposis (n = 16) underwent ileal pouch-anal anastomosis with modified double-stapled mucosectomy. Twenty-eight patients underwent one-stage restorative proctocolectomy, ileal pouch anal anastomosis, protective ileostomy and the ileostomy was closed 4-12 mo postoperatively. Two-stage procedures were performed in seventeen urgent patients, proctectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis were completed after previous colectomy with ileostomy. Morbidity within the first 30 d of surgery occurred in 10 (22.2%) patients, all of them could be treated conservatively. During the median follow-up of 65 mo, mild to moderate anastomotic narrowing was occurred in 4 patients, one patient developed persistent anastomotic stricture and need surgical intervention. Thirty-five percent of patients developed at least 1 episode of pouchitis. There was no incontinence in our patients, the median functional Oresland score was 6, 3 and 2 after 1 year, 2.5 years and 5 years respectively. Nearly half patients (44.4%) reported “moderate functioning”, 37.7% reported “good functioning”, whereas in 17.7% of patients “poor functioning” was observed after 1 year. Five years later, 79.2% of patients with good function, 16.7% with moderate function, only 4.2% of patients with poor function.
CONCLUSION: The results of ileal pouch anal anastomosis with modified double-stapled mucosectomy technique are promising, with a low complication rate and good long-term functional results.

Abstract
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the surgical therapy of choice for patients with chronic ulcerative colitis and the majority of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. It restores gastrointestinal continuity, re-establishes transanal defecation, and avoids a permanent stoma. Although this technically demanding procedure is associated with low mortality rates, it is frequently accompanied by early and late complications. This article will review these complications and discuss the interventions that are needed to provide appropriate treatment.

Abstract
Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) has become the procedure of choice for surgical treatment of intractable ulcerative colitis (UC). Surgical complications occurring in the short-term, like pelvic sepsis, are responsible for pouch dysfunction. We prospectively evaluated 118 patients with IPAA for UC operated on between 1987 and 2002. Follow-up intervals were at 3, 6, and 12 months in the first year, then every year for at least 5 years. Patients answered a questionnaire 1 and 5 years after ileostomy closure. One hundred and seventeen patients completed the early follow-up. Nine patients developed early pelvic sepsis (7.69%); six required pouch salvage procedure. In about 33.3 per cent of cases more than one procedure was necessary. Eighty-eight patients were available for 5-year functional evaluation. Patients developing early sepsis (n = 9) showed worse long-term functional results compared with the remaining study population (n = 79): stool frequency; night evacuation; perfect day/night continence; discrimination; antidiarrhoeals need; pad usage; and sexual restriction were significantly different ( P < 0.05). Quality of life and satisfaction after surgery were good in all patients. This observation did not correlate with function. Eighty-eight and 97 per cent would undergo IPAA again and would recommend it to others respectively, in septic group and controls. Functional outcome after IPAA may be influenced by early septic complications. Overall quality of life and satisfaction with surgery are comparable with those of controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare outcomes after primary hand-sewn versus stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). METHODS Patients undergoing a primary IPAA (1983-2007) were identified from a prospective pelvic pouch database. Differences between group A (hand-sewn) and group B (stapled) for pre-operative and peri-operative factors, complications, functional outcomes, and quality of life (QOL) were investigated. RESULTS Of 3,382 patients with a primary IPAA, 3,109 were included. Median follow-up was 7.1 years (0.1-24). Mean age was 37.9 +/- 13.2 years. Overall, 1,741 patients (56%) were male. Group A (n = 474) and group B (n = 2635) had similar age (P = .28), sex (P = .8), albumin level (P = .74), prior colectomy (P = .98), and use of steroids (P = .1). Group A had a greater use of ileostomy (P = .001) and a longer duration of stay (P < .001). Group B had a greater body mass index (P < .001) and J-pouch (P < or = .001). Wound infection (P = .42) and pouchitis (P = .59) were similar. Anastomotic stricture (P = .002), septic complications (P = .019), bowel obstruction (P = .027), and pouch failure (P < .001) were greater in group A. At most recent follow-up, bowel frequency (P = .74) and rate of urgency were similar (P = .71). A greater proportion of patients in group A described incontinence (P < .001), seepage (P < .001), pad usage (P < .001), dietary (P < .001), social (P < .001), and work restrictions (P = .025). The Cleveland Global QOL score (P = .018) was greater in group B. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing a stapled IPAA had better outcomes and QOL than those undergoing a hand-sewn IPAA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is generally believed that the accompanying conditions in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are associated with a high incidence of surgical site infection (SSI), and sometimes these patients are classified as compromised hosts without definitive clinical evidence. The aim of this study was to clarify the impact of IBD on the occurrence and features of SSI in patients with clean-contaminated wounds. METHODS We conducted prospective SSI surveillance of 580 patients with clean-contaminated wounds who underwent surgery between March 2006 and December 2007 using the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance system. Multivariate analyses using stepwise logistic regression were performed to determine risk factors for SSI. RESULTS A total of 562 patients with clean-contaminated wounds who underwent surgery for IBD [ulcerative colitis (UC), n = 173; Crohn's disease (CD), n = 122] or colorectal cancer [(CA), n = 267] were identified for evaluation. SSI was observed in 12.6% of all patients and there was no significant difference in infection rate by type of disease (UC, 14.5%; CD, 13.9%; CA, 10.9%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis yielded an ASA score > or =3 [odds ratio (OR) = 2.04; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.06-3.93] and rectal surgery (OR = 2.35; 95% CI = 1.28-4.31) as independent risk factors for SSI. IBD surgery was not an independent risk factor for overall SSI (OR = 1.62; 95% CI = 0.94-2.80). However, there was a significant difference in the incidence of incisional SSI [IBD, 11.9% (UC, 12.7%; CD, 10.7%); CA, 4.9%, p = 0.003]. In the analysis of rectal surgery, the incidence of incisional SSI was 5.3% in CA patients, 12.0% in UC patients, and 26.3% in CD patients. In contrast to overall SSI data, IBD surgery was found to be an independent risk factor for incisional SSI (OR = 2.59; 95% CI = 1.34-5.03). CONCLUSIONS In patients of surgery restricted to clean-contaminated wounds, IBD was shown to be an independent risk factor for incisional SSI. With the use of proper operative procedures and techniques, the incidence of organ/space SSI should not be high in patients who undergo an uncomplicated IBD surgical procedure.

Abstract
Preservation of the anal transition zone has long been a significant source of controversy in the surgical management of ulcerative colitis. The two techniques for restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis (RPC IPAA) in common practice are a stapled anastomosis and a handsewn anastomosis; these techniques differ in the amount of remaining rectal mucosa and therefore the presence of the anal transition zone following surgery. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages in long-term functional outcomes, operative and postoperative complications, and risk of neoplasia. Therefore, we propose a selective approach to performing a stapled RPC IPAA based on the presence of dysplasia in the preoperative endoscopic evaluation.

Abstract
SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA The role of a defunctioning stoma in patients undergoing low anterior resection for rectal cancer is still the subject of controversy. Recent studies suggest reduced morbidity after low anterior rectal resection with a defunctioning stoma. METHODS Retrospective and prospective studies published between 1966 and 2007 were systematically reviewed. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing anterior resections with or without defunctioning stoma were included in a meta-analysis. The pooled estimates of clinically relevant anastomotic leakages and of reoperations were analyzed using a random effects model (odds ratio and 95% confidence interval, CI). RESULTS Relevant retrospective single (n = 18) and multicenter (n = 9) studies were identified and included in the systematic review. Analysis of incoherent data of the leakage rates in these nonrandomized studies demonstrated that a defunctioning stoma did not influence the occurrence of anastomotic failure but seemed to ameliorate the consequences of the leak. Four RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. The odds ratio for clinically relevant anastomotic leakage was 0.32 (95% CI 0.17-0.59), revealing a statistically significant benefit conferred through a defunctioning stoma (Z = 3.65, P = 0.0003). The odds ratio for reoperation because of leakage-caused complications was 0.27 (95% CI 0.14-0.51), with significantly fewer reoperations in patients with a defunctioning stoma (Z = 3.95, P < 0.0001). Overall mortality rates were comparable regardless of the presence of a defunctioning stoma. CONCLUSION A defunctioning stoma reduces the rate of clinically relevant anastomotic leakages and is thus recommended in surgery for low rectal cancers.

Abstract
Both medical and surgical therapies for ulcerative colitis have inherent advantages and disadvantages that must be balanced for patients with moderate to severe disease. Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis has become the surgical treatment of choice for the majority of patients with ulcerative colitis who require proctocolectomy. However, adverse sequelae of mechanical, inflammatory, functional, neoplastic, and metabolic conditions related to the pouch can occur postoperatively. Recognition and familiarization of the disease conditions related to the ileal pouch can be challenging for practicing gastroenterologists. Accurate diagnosis and classification of the disease conditions are imperative for proper management and prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Debate exists as to the benefits of performing mucosectomy as part of pouch surgery for ulcerative colitis (UC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Whilst mucosectomy results in a more complete removal of diseased mucosa, this benefit may be at the price of poorer function. We examined these issues. METHOD Using Medline, Embase, Ovid and Cochrane database searches papers were identified relating to the outcome following pouch surgery with and without mucosectomy. Potential reasons for functional problems were investigated, as were rates of 'cuffitis', dysplasia, polyposis and cancer in the ileal pouch and anal canal. RESULTS The available evidence suggests that performing a mucosectomy leads to a worse functional outcome. Meta-analysis suggested that nighttime seepage of stool and resting and squeeze pressure were worse after mucosectomy. The most likely reason for functional impairment following pouch surgery was the degree of anal manipulation. Mucosectomy does seem to confer benefit in terms of disease control but this benefit does not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSION Stapled anastomosis avoiding mucosectomy is the approach of choice for ileal pouch anal anastomosis because this leads to superior functional outcome. Performing mucosectomy results in some clinical benefits in terms of lower rates of inflammation and dysplasia in the retained mucosa in UC patients and lower rates of cuff polyposis in FAP patients. However, on the basis of available evidence mucosectomy is only indicated in those cases where the patient is at a high risk of disease in the retained rectal cuff.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Using meta-analytical techniques, the study compared postoperative adverse events and functional outcomes of stapled versus hand-sewn ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) following restorative proctocolectomy. BACKGROUND The choice of mucosectomy and hand-sewn versus stapled pouch-anal anastomosis has been a subject of debate with no clear consensus as to which method provides better functional results and long-term outcomes. METHODS Comparative studies published between 1988 and 2003, of hand-sewn versus stapled IPAA were included. Endpoints were classified into postoperative complications and functional and physiologic outcomes measured at least 3 months following closure of ileostomy or surgery if no proximal diversion was used, quality of life following surgery, and neoplastic transformation within the anal transition zone. RESULTS Twenty-one studies, consisting of 4183 patients (2699 hand-sewn and 1484 stapled IPAA) were included. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the 2 groups. The incidence of nocturnal seepage and pad usage favored the stapled IPAA (odds ratio [OR] = 2.78, P < 0.001 and OR = 4.12, P = 0.007, respectively). The frequency of defecation was not significantly different between the 2 groups (P = 0.562), nor was the use of antidiarrheal medication (OR = 1.27, P = 0.422). Anorectal physiologic measurements demonstrated a significant reduction in the resting and squeeze pressure in the hand-sewn IPAA group by 13.4 and 14.4 mm Hg, respectively (P < 0.018). The stapled IPAA group showed a higher incidence of dysplasia in the anal transition zone that did not reach statistical significance (OR = 0.42, P = 0.080). CONCLUSIONS Both techniques had similar early postoperative outcomes; however, stapled IPAA offered improved nocturnal continence, which was reflected in higher anorectal physiologic measurements. A risk of increased incidence of dysplasia in the ATZ may exist in the stapled group that cannot be quantified by this study. We describe a decision algorithm for the choice of IPAA, based on the relative risk of long-term neoplastic transformation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Controversy exists regarding the safety for omission of diverting ileostomy in restorative proctocolectomy because of fears of increased septic complications. This study was designed to evaluate the outcomes of restorative proctocolectomy in a consecutive series of patients by comparing postoperative complications, functional results, and quality of life in patients with and without diverting ileostomy. METHODS Data regarding demographics, length of stay, surgical characteristics, and complications were reviewed and recorded according to the presence (n= 1,725) or absence (n = 277) of a diverting ileostomy at the time of pelvic pouch surgery. Criteria for omission of ileostomy included: stapled anastomosis, tension-free anastomosis, intact tissue rings, good hemostasis, absence of airleaks, malnutrition, toxicity, anemia, and prolonged consumption of steroids. Functional outcome and quality of life indicators were prospectively recorded and compared. RESULTS Patients in the ileostomy group had greater body surface area and older mean age at time of surgery, were taking greater doses of steroids preoperatively, and required more blood transfusions at the time of surgery compared with the one-stage (P < 0.05). There were no differences between the two groups in septic complications (P > 0.05). Early postoperative ileus was more common in the one-stage group (P < 0.001). There were no differences between the groups in quality of life and functional outcomes. CONCLUSIONS For carefully selected patients undergoing restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, omission of diverting ileostomy is a safe procedure that does not lead to an increase in septic complications or mortality. Quality of life and functional results are similar to those who undergo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis with diversion, provided that certain selection factors are considered.

Abstract
PURPOSE A restorative proctocolectomy has become an elective surgical treatment for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). In children with UC, however, the role of this procedure has not yet been well evaluated. We investigated the postoperative status of pediatric patients with UC regarding the side effects of steroids, postoperative complications, and growth. METHODS The medical records of 15 patients with UC who underwent a restorative proctocolectomy between August 1993 and October 2003 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Their mean age was 12.6 +/- 3.4 years (range 5.7-15.7; boys: 9, girls: 6). All patients had total colitis, except for one who had left-sided colitis. The mean cumulative dose of preoperative prednisolone was 6201 +/- 7980 mg (mean +/- SD). The operative indications were an unsuccessful response to medical treatments in 12 patients (80%) and severe colitis in 3 patients (20%). Surgery was performed in one stage in 6 patients and in two stages in 9 patients. Seven patients (47%) demonstrated growth retardation at the time of operation. Steroid-related complications were seen in 3 cases, i.e., steroid myopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts, respectively. As early postoperative complications, an intestinal obstruction was seen in 2 patients, peritonitis in 1, and pancreatitis in 1. As late complications, anastomotic stenosis was observed in 5 patients, pouchitis in 4, residual proctitis in 3, and anal or proctovaginal fistula in 2. An intestinal obstruction, peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum, and dehydration each was seen in 1 patient. A growth "catch-up" was obtained for all but one patient. All patients became free of corticosteroids. CONCLUSION A restorative proctocolectomy was found to be an effective treatment alternative even in children with UC when conservative therapy proves to be ineffective.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) has become a standard procedure for patients with ulcerative colitis requiring surgical intervention. The technique has greatly improved and, since 1990, all patients at Huddinge University Hospital have been operated on with the double stapled technique. Pelvic sepsis is one of the most serious complications postoperatively, and, according to previous reports, leads to impaired function of the pouch and, in some cases, extirpation of the pouch. AIM The purpose of this study was to find out if pelvic sepsis postoperatively after IPAA leads to impaired functional outcome at long-term follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred consecutive patients with ulcerative colitis operated on between 1990 and 1997 with double stapled J-shaped pouches were followed prospectively with a standardised questionnaire, clinical follow-up and endoscopy of the pouch. The function of the pouch has been evaluated at a minimum of 2 years after surgery to compare the functional outcome between patients with and without pelvic sepsis postoperatively. RESULTS Twelve patients developed pelvic sepsis postoperatively. No significant differences were found in pouch evacuation frequency, incontinence, deferral time, usage of protecting pads, skin irritation, evacuation problems, diet, usage of medication or social handicap. There was one failure in the control group. CONCLUSION In this study, no evidence was found that suggested pelvic sepsis postoperatively impairs functional outcome after IPAA at long-term follow-up.

Abstract
The immunological and genetic pathogeneses of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been well elucidated in the recent years. The pharmacologic treatment of IBDs accordingly becomes to focus upon the individual pathologic step (targeting therapy), whereas the therapeutic action is not yet a pinpoint one. It has been known recently that new drugs such as biological immunomodulating agents and anti-inflammatory cytokines have better short-term effects in some respects than the conventional drugs, and they might alter the treatment strategy of IBDs in the near future. The limitation of pharmacologic treatments mainly results from adverse effects of the drugs, i.e. infection susceptibility, oncogenesis, teratogenesis and so forth. The extracorporeal therapy such as leukocytapheresis and photopheresis is reportedly effective for IBDs probably through immunomodulation such as decrease in circulating activated T-lymphocytes and activated granulocytes that play a central role in the pathogenesis of IBD. It can be said that these extracorporeal treatment methods have advantage of rapid action and lack of serious adverse effects to drug therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND From a post hoc analysis a hypothesis was generated that women deposit more collagen in a surrogate test wound than men. The purpose of this study has been to verify this hypothesis prospectively in a controlled study. METHODS Post hoc analyses were done on 37 volunteers (study A). The prospective trial included 47 smoking volunteers (study B). Outcome measures were deposition levels of collagen (hydroxyproline) and protein during a period of 10 days in subcutaneously implanted tubes of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. RESULTS The mean increments of collagen deposition levels in women as compared with men were 56% (P <.01) in study A and 74% (P <.001) in study B. The mean increase in the ratio collagen/total protein was 74% (P <.001) and 69% (P <.001), indicating that the increase was specific for collagen. CONCLUSIONS The studies show that deposition in a miniature subcutaneous test wound of collagen, but not noncollagenous protein, is promoted in women as compared to men. These findings may relate to the observation in some reports indicating higher rates of compromised postoperative wound healing in men.
