Abstract
Proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the intervention of choice for ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis requiring surgery. One of the long-term complications is pouch cancer, having a poor prognosis. The risk of high-grade dysplasia and cancer in the anal transitional zone and ileal pouch after 20 years is estimated to be 2 to 4.5% and 3 to 10% in ulcerative colitis and familial polyposis, respectively. The risk factors for ulcerative colitis are the presence of pre-operative dysplasia or cancer, disease duration > 10 years and severe villous atrophy. For familial polyposis, the risk factors are the number of pre-operative polyps > 1000, surgery with stapled anastomosis and the duration of follow-up. In the case of ulcerative colitis, a pouchoscopy should be performed annually if one of the following is present: dysplasia and cancer at surgery, primary sclerosing cholangitis, villous atrophy and active pouchitis (every 5 years without any of these factors). In the case of familial polyposis, endoscopy is recommended every year including chromoendoscopy. Even if anal transitional zone and ileal pouch cancers seldom occur following proctectomy for ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis, the high mortality rate associated with this complication warrants endoscopic monitoring.

Abstract
AIM There is no consensus as to which ileoanal pouch design provides better outcomes after restorative proctocolectomy. This study compares different pouch designs. METHOD A systematic review of the literature was performed. A random effects meta-analytical model was used to compare adverse events and functional outcome. RESULTS Thirty comparative studies comparing J, W, S and K pouch designs were included. No significant differences were identified between the different pouch designs with regard to anastomotic dehiscence, anastomotic stricture, pelvic sepsis, wound infection, pouch fistula, pouch ischaemia, perioperative haemorrhage, small bowel obstruction, pouchitis and sexual dysfunction. The W and K designs resulted in fewer cases of pouch failure compared with the J and S designs. J pouch construction resulted in a smaller maximum pouch volume compared with W and K pouches. Stool frequency per 24 h and during daytime was higher following a J pouch than W, S or K constructions. The J design resulted in increased faecal urgency and seepage during daytime compared with the K design. The use of protective pads during daytime and night-time was greater with a J pouch compared to S or K. The use of antidiarrhoeal medication was greater after a J reservoir than a W reservoir. Difficulty in pouch evacuation requiring intubation was higher with an S pouch than with W or J pouches. CONCLUSION Despite its ease of construction and comparable complication rates, the J pouch is associated with higher pouch failure rates and worse function. Patient characteristics, technical factors and surgical expertise should be considered when choosing pouch design.

Abstract
Ileal pouch‐anal anastomosis (IPAA) after total proctocolectomy (TPC) can be conducted with either hand‐sewn or stapled anastomosis for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Although stapled IPAA without mucosectomy has a higher risk for developing adenomas in the remnant mucosa, it is the simpler procedure with potential benefit in short‐term outcomes. However, it remains controversial as to whether stapled IPAA has any advantages in reducing postoperative complications. The aim of the present study was to compare the postoperative complications and short‐term outcomes of stapled and hand‐sewn IPAA for patients with FAP, using a multicenter cohort sample in Japan. Data of 143 patients with FAP who underwent TPC with stapled IPAA (n=37) and hand‐sewn IPAA (n=106) at 23 institutions between 2000 and 2012 were collected. Postoperative complications, proportion of ostomy, fecal continence and overall survival were compared. Overall rates of the Clavien‐Dindo grade II‐IV complications were not different between the two groups (19% in stapled vs 25% in hand‐sewn, P=.42), with significantly fewer pouch‐related complications including leakage, pelvic abscess, vaginal fistula and anastomotic stricture in stapled IPAA (none in stapled vs 11% in hand‐sewn, P=.036). There was no mortality. Proportion of ostomy at 12 months was similar (2.7% in stapled vs 4.3% in hand‐sewn, P=.26). Mean Wexner score was similar. (0.47 in stapled vs 2.0 in hand‐sewn, P=.12). Five‐year overall survival excluding Stage IV patients was 96% in both groups. Stapled IPAA is a safe option in patients with FAP with a potential benefit in reducing pouch‐related complications.

Abstract
AIMS To quantify the incidence of loss of an ileoanal pouch in children and to identify variables associated this event. METHODS Logistic regression of possible explanatory variables: age, sex, indication for procto-colectomy, pre-operative continence status, use of immunosuppressive drugs, open or laparoscopic surgery, number of stages, anastomotic leak, operative complication excluding anastomotic leak, performance of revisional surgery, albumin concentration and platelet count at time of surgery, rank order in series. Univariate logistic regression was used to identify significant variables which were then assessed in a multivariate model and construction of Kaplan-Meier graphs. RESULTS 103 children, 56 girls, underwent ileoanal pouch at median age 14years (SD 3.7). Indications and mean age were: ulcerative colitis (n=71, 14years), polyposis syndromes (n=13, 15years), chronic idiopathic constipation (n=9, 11years), Hirschsprung's disease (n=4, 1year), Crohn's disease (n=2, 16years), and fibrosing colonopathy (n=2, 11years). 13 patients had their pouch excised or permanently diverted. Three patients had successful revisional pouch surgery. Only pre-operative fecal incontinence and anastomotic leak were significantly associated with pouch excision/diversion, however on multivariate analysis, only fecal incontinence remained significant, odds ratio 21 (95%CI 1.8-235, p=0.01). Pouch survival was significantly worse where there was fecal incontinence pre-operatively, p<0.0001 or an anastomotic leak, p<0.001. CONCLUSIONS 13% of children subjected to restorative procto-colectomy ultimately receive a permanent ileostomy. Fecal incontinence prior to surgery is a relative contra-indication. Anastomotic leak increases the probability of later pouch excision. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
AIM Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and ulcerative colitis (UC) has been modified from a transanal hand-suture after mucosectomy to a stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) without mucosectomy. Better functional results favour stapled anastomosis; however, stapled anastomosis results in higher rates of adenomas in persisting anorectal mucosa. The purpose of this study was to compare the two techniques of pouch-anal anastomosis with respect to early postoperative complications in a collective of FAP patients. METHOD The study was performed as a matched-pair analysis. Data were obtained from a prospectively collected database. RESULTS The overall rate of postoperative complications was higher after stapled IPAA (31% stapled vs 23% handsewn), with anastomotic stricture occurring in 24.3% (stapled) and 16.2% (handsewn) (P = 0.22). Any leakage or pelvic abscess formation after stapled anastomosis occurred within 30 days in almost all patients, whereas these were mainly diagnosed between 30 days and 6 months after handsewn IPAA. A laparoscopic approach was used in 56.7% of patients in the stapled group but in only two patients in the handsewn group. Intra-operative blood loss was significantly higher in the handsewn group (mean ± SD: 699 ± 511 ml vs 369 ± 343 ml; P < 0.0001), as was the volume of blood transfused (mean ± SD: 205 ± 365 ml vs 8 ± 49 ml; P < 0.0001). Function did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSION There was a nonstatistically significant tendency towards a higher rate of early postoperative complications after stapled IPAA. The timing of anastomotic leakage and abscess formation differed between the groups.

Abstract
Restorative proctocolectomy is the most common surgical option for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). However, adenomas may develop in the ileal pouch mucosa over time, and even carcinoma in the pouch has been reported. We therefore reviewed the prevalence, nature, and treatment of adenomas and carcinoma that develop after proctocolectomy in the ileal pouch mucosa in patients with FAP. In 25 reports that were reviewed, the incidence of adenomas in the ileal pouch varied from 6.7% to 73.9%. Several potential factors that favor the development of pouch polyposis have been investigated, but many remain controversial. Nevertheless, it seems certain that the age of the pouch is important. The risk appears to be 7% to 16% after 5 years, 35% to 42% after 10 years, and 75% after 15 years. On the other hand, only 21 cases of ileal pouch carcinoma have been recorded in the literature to date. The diagnosis of pouch carcinoma was made between 3 to 20 years (median, 10 years) after pouch construction. Although the risk of malignant transformation in ileal pouches is probably low, it is not negligible, and the long-term risk cannot presently be well quantified. Regular endoscopic surveillance, especially using chromoendoscopy, is recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis may leave residual anal transitional zone mucosa that is prone to neoplasia. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term control of neoplasia at the IPAA, the functional outcomes, and the influence of anastomotic technique on these results. DESIGN : This research is a retrospective cohort study from a prospective database. SETTING The investigation took place in a high-volume specialized colorectal surgery department. PATIENTS Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who underwent IPAA between 1983 and 2010 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes measured were functional outcomes, quality of life, and the incidence of neoplasia in the anal transitional zone. RESULTS Eighty-six patients underwent mucosectomy and 174 underwent stapled anastomosis with mean 155 ± 99 and 95 ± 70 months follow-up. Eighteen patients (20.9%) in the mucosectomy group and 59 patients (33.9%) in the stapled group developed anal transitional zone adenomas (p = 0.03). One of 86 (1.2%) patients undergoing mucosectomy and 3 of 174 (1.7%) patients undergoing stapled anastomosis developed cancer in the anal transitional zone (p > 0.05). Three of these patients underwent an abdominoperineal resection, but one who refused abdominoperineal resection underwent transanal excision with neoileoanal anastomosis. Patients undergoing a mucosectomy had a significantly higher rate of anastomotic stricture, but other complications were similar. Incontinence, seepage, and pad usage were higher in the mucosectomy group. Cleveland global quality-of-life score was 0.8 ± 0.2 in patients with handsewn anastomoses and 0.8 ± 0.3 in patients with a stapled anastomoses (p > 0.05). LIMITATIONS This study was limited by its nonrandomized retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS Risk for the development of adenomas in the anal transitional zone is higher after a stapled IPAA than after a mucosectomy with handsewn anastomosis. However, control of anal transitional zone neoplasia results in a similar risk of cancer development. Because the stapled procedure is associated with better long-term functional outcomes than a mucosectomy, stapled IPAA is the preferable procedure for most patients with familial adenomatous polyposis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is controversy concerning whether or not to perform mucosectomy after IPAA in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. Although more frequent adenoma formation at the anastomotic site in patients without a mucosectomy is documented, the interpretation of the theoretical reflections and empirical findings are ambiguous. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the differences in adenoma formation at the anastomotic site and in the ileal pouch among patients with familial adenomatous polyposis after IPAA with or without mucosectomy. DESIGN Data were gathered from The Norwegian Polyposis Registry and The Cancer Registry of Norway. PATIENTS Sixty-one patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who had IPAA were included in the Norwegian Polyposis Registry. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The frequency of adenoma development in the pouch or at the anastomotic site was measured. RESULTS Thirty-nine patients had a pelvic pouch performed with mucosectomy and 22 patients without. The observational time was 15.5 and 13.7 years. Adenoma formation at the anastomotic site was 4 in 39 and 14 in 22, and the estimated rate was 17% vs 75% (p = 0.0001). One patient without mucosectomy had a cancer (Dukes A) at the anastomotic site. There was no estimated long-term difference in adenoma formation in the ileal pouches between the 2 surgical procedures (38%) (p = 0.10). LIMITATIONS The study is retrospective, in part, and relies on data from registries. There is a limited number of cases, and selection bias because of surgeon preference may exist. CONCLUSION In patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who undergo IPAA, adenoma formation at the anastomotic site is significantly reduced after mucosectomy. Mucosectomy may be the preferable procedure to prevent adenomas at the anastomotic site.

Abstract
The incidence of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is one in 7,000 to 12,000 live births. Virtually, all surgically untreated patients with FAP inevitably develop colorectal-cancer in their lifetime because they carry the adenomatous polyposis coli gene. Thus prophylactic proctocolectomy is indicated. Surgical treatment of FAP is still controversial. There are however, four surgical options: ileorectal anastomosis, restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, proctocolectomy with ileostomy, and proctocolectomy with continent-ileostomy. Conventional proctocolectomy options largely lie between colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis or ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Detractors of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis prefer ileorectal anastomosis because of better functional results and quality of life. The functional outcome of total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis is undoubtedly far superior to that of the ileoanal pouch; however, the risk for rectal cancer is increased by 30%. Even after mucosectomy, inadvertent small mucosal residual islands remain. These residual islands carry the potential for the development of subsequent malignancy. We reviewed the literature (1975-2012) on the incidence, nature, and possible etiology of subsequent ileal-pouch and anal transit zone adenocarcinoma after prophylactic surgery procedure for FAP. To date there are 24 studies reporting 92 pouch-related cancers; 15 case reports, 4 prospective and 5 retrospective studies. Twenty three of 92 cancers (25%) developed in the pouch mucosa and 69 (75%) in anal transit zone (ATZ). Current recommendation for pouch surveillance and treatment are presented. Data suggest lifetime surveillance of these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study compared the risk of adenoma or carcinoma formation in the anorectal segment after either mucosectomy with manual anastomosis or stapled ileoanal anastomosis (IAA) following restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). BACKGROUND Few data exist on the risk of adenoma formation after either technique in FAP. METHODS All endoscopy and histology reports for patients having RPC for FAP attending for annual pouchoscopy from 1978 to 2007 were reviewed. The incidence, timing, and histological characteristics of adenoma or carcinoma formation were recorded. RESULTS Of the 206 patients, 140 attended for endoscopic follow-up for a median of 10.3 years after RPC. Fifty-two patients developed neoplastic transformation in the anorectal segment, with a cumulative risk at 10 years of 22.6% after mucosectomy with manual anastomosis and 51.1% after stapled IAA (P < 0.001). The median time to first adenoma was longer after mucosectomy with handsewn anastomosis than after stapled IAA (10.1 vs 6.5 years, P < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, stapled IAA (hazard ratio= 3.45, 95% confidence interval = 1.01–4.98) and age at RPC older than 40 years (hazard ratio = 2.20, 95% confidence interval = 1.01–4.89) were significantly associated with increased risk of adenoma formation. Nine patients developed a large (>10 mm) adenoma. One patient (handsewn ileoanal anastomosis) developed adenocarcinoma in the anorectal mucosa at 13 years and required pouch excision. CONCLUSIONS Adenoma formation in the anorectal mucosa after RPC for FAP is common but carcinoma is rare. The risk is lower after mucosectomy with handsewn anastomosis than after stapled IAA. Regular endoscopic surveillance after either technique is mandatory.

Abstract
Desmoid tumours (DT) are myofibroblastic proliferations found in 10-25% of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients, either intra-abdominally (IA), in the abdominal wall (AW) or elsewhere (extra-abdominal (EA)). Most DT occur following prophylactic colectomy but occasionally patients present with pre-operative DT. Mutations 3' to codon 1444, predispose to DT and attenuated phenotype, leading to a potential strategy of delaying surgery in patients at high risk of DT. Here we assess if the existence of a pre-operative AW-DT or EA-DT predisposes to IA-DT following laparotomy. Data were collected on FAP patients undergoing primary surgery at St Mark's Hospital. Patients were stratified into those having no DT, EA-DT or AW-DT pre-operatively. Relative-risks were calculated and proportions compared using Fisher's exact-test. 587 FAP patients were identified; nine discovered with IA-DT intra-operatively were excluded. 5(0.9%) and 6(1%) of the remainder had a pre-operative EA-DT and AW-DT, respectively; one (0.2%) had both. Six of these 12 developed a post-operative IA-DT. 566(98%) had no pre-operative DT, 50(9%) of these developed IA-DT post-operatively; median time to tumour was 2 (IQR, 1-3.5) years. A pre-operative AW-DT predisposed to IA-DT post-operatively (RR = 7.6, 95% CI 4.0-14.1, P = 0.0009) whilst EA-DT did not (RR = 2.3, 0.4-13.3, P = 0.38). A 3' mutation was significantly associated with post-operative IA-DT in the 'no pre-operative DT' group (P = 0.002). The presence of a DT external to the abdominal cavity pre-operatively, poses a clinical challenge with regards to surgical decision-making. Patients with an AW-DT pre-operatively may warrant a conservative surgical approach, to minimize post-operative IA-DT risk.

Abstract
AIM There are conflicting reports regarding long term function after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). The aim of the present prospective study was to investigate the influence of duration as an independent factor on long-term function results. METHOD Between 1984 and 2007, 315 patients underwent IPAA and were followed by a standardised interview and endoscopy protocol. There were 1802 interviews. Two hundred and thirty-five patients had three or more visits and these data were analysed by Time-Series-Cross-Section multivariate regression analysis. The mean time follow up was 12 years and the mean interval between visits was 34.5 months. RESULTS Mean frequency of defecation was 5.2 in the day and 0.55 at night. This did not change with time. Daytime and night incontinence occurred in 13% and 21%. There was no change in incontinence, urgency, soiling or perineal excoriation with time. After 24 years the cumulative incidence of pouchitis was 43.5%. Twenty patients had chronic pouchitis (6.3%). CONCLUSION The interval from IPAA did not influence the long-term functional outcome.

Abstract
Restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the surgical procedure of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). It is also performed in selected patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). A significant proportion of patients will develop pouch dysfunction. Flexible pouchoscopy is the most important initial investigation in patients with dysfunction. It is also important in UC and FAP surveillance. The aim is to provide gastroenterologists with a clear understanding of the technique, indications, and diagnostic pitfalls when investigating RPC patients with flexible pouchoscopy. Flexible pouchoscopy for the investigation of RPC patients with pouch dysfunction has a high diagnostic yield, with most causes of pouch dysfunction identifiable during this procedure. The risk of developing dysplasia following RPC is low. Surveillance pouchoscopy is only recommended in those with FAP, those with a previous history of dysplasia or carcinoma, primary sclerosing cholangitis, those with a retained rectal cuff, and those with Type C histological changes. Flexible pouchoscopy is a useful first-line investigation in patients with pouch dysfunction. It can be performed without sedation and has a high diagnostic yield; it is also important as part of surveillance in FAP and selected UC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The technique of rectal dissection during restorative proctocolectomy might influence the rate of septic complications. The aim of this study was to analyze the morbidity of restorative proctocolectomy in a consecutive series of patients who had rectal dissection with complete preservation of the mesorectum. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred thirty-one patients who had restorative proctocolectomy for chronic inflammatory bowel disease with handsewn ileopouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and preservation of the mesorectal tissue were analyzed by chart reviews and a follow-up investigation at a median of 85 (14-169) months after surgery. RESULTS Only one of 131 patients had a leak from the IPAA, and one patient had a pelvic abscess without evidence of leakage, resulting in 1.5% local septic complications. All other complications including the pouch failure rate (7.6%) and the incidence of both fistula (6.4%) and pouchitis (47.9%) were comparable to the data from the literature. CONCLUSION The low incidence of local septic complications in this series might at least in part result from the preservation of the mesorectum. As most studies do not specify the technique of rectal dissection, this theory cannot be verified by an analysis of the literature and needs further approval by a randomized trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a genetic disease characterized by multiple adenomatous colorectal polyps and different extracolonic manifestations (ECM). The present work is aimed to analyze the outcome after surgical treatment regarding complications and cancer recurrence. METHODS Charts from patients treated between 1977 and 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical and endoscopic data, results of treatment, pathological reports and information about recurrence were collected. RESULTS Eighty-eight patients (41 men [46.6%] and 47 women [53.4%]) were assisted. At diagnosis, associated colorectal cancer (CRC) was detected in 53 patients (60.2%), whose average age was higher than those without CRC (40.0 vs. 29.5 years). At colonoscopy, polyposis was classified as attenuated in 12 patients (14.3%). Surgical treatment consisted in total proctocolectomy with ileostomy (PCI, 15 [17.4%]), restorative proctocolectomy (RPC, 27 [31.4%]), total colectomy with ileal-rectum anastomosis (IRA, 42 [48.8%]), palliative segmental resection (1 [1.2%]) and internal bypass (1 [1.2%]). Two patients were not operated on due to religious reasons and advanced disease. Complications occurred in 25 patients (29.0%), more commonly after RPC (48.1%). There was no operative mortality. Local or distant metastases were detected in six (11.3%) patients with CRC treated to cure. During the follow-up of 36 IRA, cancer developed in the rectal cuff in six patients (16.6%), whose average age was higher than in patients without rectal recurrence (45.8 vs. 36.6 years). Five of them have had colonic cancer in the resected specimen. Among the 26 patients followed after RPC, cancer in the ileal pouch developed in 1 (3.8%). CONCLUSIONS (1) Within the present series, FAP patients presented a high incidence of associated CRC and diagnosis was generally established after the third decade of life; (2) operative complications occurred in about one third of the patients, being more frequent after the confection of an ileal reservoir; (3) rectal cancer after IRA was detected in 16.6% of patients and it was associated with greater age and previous colonic carcinoma; (4) both continuous and long-term surveillance of the rectal stump and ileal pouch are necessary during follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the procedure of choice for the majority of patients with ulcerative colitis who require surgery. Over 2500 patients in the UK have undergone restorative proctocolectomy. It is now increasingly being performed in district general hospitals as well as in specialist inflammatory bowel disease units. Gastroenterologists are increasingly involved in the management of patients following restorative proctocolectomy. AIM To provide gastroenterologists with a clear understanding of the investigation and evidence-based management of complications and the aftercare required in patients who have undergone restorative proctocolectomy. RESULTS Following restorative proctocolectomy, most patients have an excellent long-term functional outcome. Pouchitis, pelvic sepsis and poor function are the most common causes of failure. The development of cancer is rare; nevertheless, long-term follow-up is required. CONCLUSIONS The investigation and management of patients who develop complications require a multidisciplinary team approach to optimize the outcome. Protocols are suggested for investigation and management of patients with complications and for long-term cancer surveillance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is reported that previous colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) has no effect on postoperative complications and functional outcomes of secondary proctectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). This retrospective study re-examined the question in a single centre. METHODS Some 185 patients were grouped by either IPAA as the initial prophylactic surgical procedure (primary IPAA) or IPAA preceded by IRA (secondary IPAA). Data on functional outcomes were available for 104, 83 and 56 patients at years 1, 5 and 10 respectively. RESULTS The 78 patients who had secondary IPAA were older at the time of operation than the 107 who underwent primary IPAA (35.7 versus 29.2 years; P < 0.001). Six (8 per cent) of the secondary IPAA procedures could not be completed. Otherwise, apart from more wound infections in the secondary IPAA group (9 versus 0.9 per cent in the primary IPAA group; P = 0.012), there were no significant differences in rates of complications, functional outcomes, desmoid disease or pouch failure. CONCLUSION Conversion from IRA to IPAA may not be possible in patients with FAP. Where conversion is successful, pouch outcomes are similar but wound infections are more frequent.

Abstract
Colon cancer, the third leading cause of mortality from cancer in the United States, afflicts about 150,000 patients annually. More than 10% of these patients exhibit familial clustering. The most common and well characterized of these familial colon cancer syndromes is hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer syndrome (Lynch syndrome), which accounts for about 2% to 3% of all cases of colon cancer in the United States. We review the current knowledge of familial cancer syndromes, with an emphasis on Lynch syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis.
