Abstract
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA improves the quality of life in patients with ulcerative colitis by the removal of diseased large bowel and preservation of the natural route of defecation. Although the surgery may improve preexisting extraintestinal manifestations in the joints, skin, and eyes, extraintestinal manifestations, particularly primary sclerosing cholangitis, can persist after colectomy. OBJECTIVES A systematic review of diagnosis and treatment of liver, joint, skin, and eye manifestations in patients with restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA for ulcerative colitis. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane database. STUDY SELECTION Relevant articles on primary sclerosing cholangitis and extraintestinal manifestations in ileal pouches published between January 2001 and July 2023 in English were included on the basis of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. INTERVENTION Diagnosis and treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis and extraintestinal manifestations in patients with restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Association between primary sclerosing cholangitis, extraintestinal manifestations, and inflammatory disorders of the pouch and their management. RESULTS Primary sclerosing cholangitis and extraintestinal manifestations are associated with pouchitis, particularly chronic pouchitis. Primary sclerosing cholangitis is associated with chronic pouchitis, enteritis, and possible pouch neoplasia. However, the disease severity and course of primary sclerosing cholangitis and pouchitis do not appear to be parallel. Despite the fact that oral vancomycin or budesonide have been used to treat primary sclerosing cholangitis-associated pouchitis, their impact on the disease course of primary sclerosing cholangitis is not known. Biological therapy for chronic inflammatory disorders of the pouch may also be beneficial for the concurrent extraintestinal manifestations of the joints, skin, and eyes. However, studies on the correlation between the severity of inflammatory pouch disorders and the severity of joint, skin, and eye diseases are lacking. LIMITATIONS This is a qualitative, not quantitative, review of case series and case reports. CONCLUSIONS Primary sclerosing cholangitis and extraintestinal manifestations of the joints, skin, and eyes appear to be associated with inflammatory disorders of the ileal pouch. Although the treatment of pouchitis does not seem to affect the disease course of primary sclerosing cholangitis, effective therapy of inflammatory pouch disorders, particularly with biologics, likely benefits concurrent disorders of the joints, skin, and eyes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IPAA is often required for patients with ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis after colectomy. This procedure reduces but does not completely eliminate the risk of neoplasia. OBJECTIVE This study focuses on the histopathology of neoplasia in the ileal pouch, rectal cuff, and anal transition zone. DATA SOURCES We performed a MEDLINE search for English-language studies published between 1981 and 2022 using the PubMed search engine. The terms "ileal pouch-anal anastomosis," "pouchitis," "pouch dysplasia," "pouch lymphoma," "pouch squamous cell carcinoma," "pouch adenocarcinoma," "pouch neoplasia," "dysplasia of rectal cuff," and "colitis-associated dysplasia" were used. STUDY SELECTION Human studies of neoplasia occurring in the pouch and para-pouch were selected, and the full text was reviewed. Comparisons were made within and across studies, with key concepts selected for inclusion in this article. CONCLUSIONS Neoplasia in the pouch is a rare complication in patients with IPAA. Annual endoscopic surveillance is recommended for familial adenomatous polyposis patients and ulcerative colitis patients with a history of prior dysplasia or carcinoma. In familial adenomatous polyposis, dysplastic polyps of the pouch are visible and readily amenable to endoscopic removal; however, glandular dysplasia in the setting of ulcerative colitis may be invisible on endoscopy. Therefore, random biopsies and adequate tissue sampling of the pouch and rectal cuff are recommended in this setting. The histological diagnosis of IBD-associated dysplasia can be challenging and should be confirmed by at least 1 expert GI pathologist. See video from the symposium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Structural and inflammatory adverse sequelae are common after restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA. On rare occasions, neoplasia can occur in patients with ileal pouches. Pouchoscopy plays a key role in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, disease monitoring, assessment of treatment response, surveillance, and delivery of therapy. OBJECTIVE A systematic review of the literature was performed, and principles and techniques of pouchoscopy were described. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases. STUDY SELECTION Relevant articles on endoscopy in ileal pouches published between January 2000 and May 2023 were included based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. INTERVENTION Diagnostic, surveillance, and therapeutic endoscopy in ileal pouch disorders were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Accurate characterization of the ileal pouch in healthy or diseased states. RESULTS The main anatomic structures of a J- or S-pouch are the stoma closure site, prepouch ileum, inlet, tip of the "J," pouch body, anastomosis, cuff, and anal transition zone. Each anatomic location can be prone to the development of structural, inflammatory, or neoplastic disorders. For example, ulcers and strictures are common at the stoma closure site, inlet, and anastomosis. Leaks are commonly detected at the tip of the "J" and anastomosis. Characterization of the anastomotic distribution of inflammation is critical for the differential diagnosis of subtypes of pouchitis and other inflammatory disorders of the pouch. Neoplastic lesions, albeit rare, mainly occur at the cuff, anal transition zone, or anastomosis. LIMITATIONS This is a qualitative, not quantitative, review of mainly case series. CONCLUSIONS Most structural, inflammatory, and neoplastic disorders can be reliably diagnosed with a careful pouchoscopy. The endoscopist and other clinicians taking care of pouch patients should be familiar with the anatomy of the ileal pouch and be able to recognize common abnormalities. See video from symposium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis often require prophylactic colectomy with IPAA to treat or reduce the risk of colorectal neoplasia. However, after surgery, patients are still at some risk of developing pouch polyps and even cancer in both handsewn and stapled anastomoses. Management relies mainly on endoscopic or surgical interventions, whereas chemopreventive agents have a limited role in the management and prevention of pouch neoplasia. Novel endoscopic techniques are evolving and may gradually overtake surgical intervention in selected cases. Because familial adenomatous polyposis is relatively rare, there is a scarcity of data regarding the natural history of pouch polyps and cancer in this population. OBJECTIVE This systematic literature review aims to describe the evolution, characteristics, various treatment modalities and their outcomes, and recommended surveillance strategies of pouch neoplasia. DATA SOURCES PubMed and Cochrane databases and the International Ileal Pouch Consortium (for expert opinion). STUDY SELECTION Studies published between 1990 and 2023 in English were included. Studies reporting neoplastic outcomes of only patients with IBD-related pouch neoplasia were excluded. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Incidence of pouch neoplasia and its outcomes (successful resections, surgical complications, and mortality). RESULTS Thirty-five studies were included. LIMITATIONS Most studies focused on patients with IBD-related pouch neoplasia; there were scarce data regarding polyposis patients only. Most cohorts were small and retrospective. Data on interventions were mainly descriptive, and no randomized controlled trials were available. CONCLUSIONS Pouch adenomas are common and well managed by endoscopic resections because advanced endoscopic techniques are becoming more available. Additional data are required for defining updated recommendations for either endoscopic or surgical intervention. Pouch cancer is a very rare event and may arise despite surveillance. Continued endoscopic surveillance is key in cancer prevention and early detection. The outcome of cancer cases is poor, and management in a referral center should be advised with tumor board discussions. See video from symposium .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the standard restorative procedure following proctocolectomy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who require colectomy. However, removal of the diseased colon does not eliminate the risk of pouch neoplasia. We aimed to assess the incidence of pouch neoplasia in IBD patients following IPAA. METHODS All patients at a large tertiary center with International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision/International Classification of Diseases-Tenth Revision codes for IBD who underwent IPAA and had subsequent pouchoscopy were identified using a clinical notes search from January 1981 to February 2020. Relevant demographic, clinical, endoscopic, and histologic data were abstracted. RESULTS In total, 1319 patients were included (43.9% women). Most had ulcerative colitis (95.2%). Out of 1319 patients, 10 (0.8%) developed neoplasia following IPAA. Neoplasia of the pouch was seen in 4 cases with neoplasia of the cuff or rectum seen in 5 cases. One patient had neoplasia of the prepouch, pouch, and cuff. Types of neoplasia included low-grade dysplasia (n = 7), high-grade dysplasia (n = 1), colorectal cancer (n = 1), and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (n = 1). Presence of extensive colitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, backwash ileitis, and rectal dysplasia at the time of IPAA were significantly associated with increased risk of pouch neoplasia. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of pouch neoplasia in IBD patients who have undergone IPAA is relatively low. Extensive colitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and backwash ileitis prior to IPAA and rectal dysplasia at the time of IPAA raise the risk of pouch neoplasia significantly. A limited surveillance program might be appropriate for patients with IPAA even with a history of colorectal neoplasia.

Abstract
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis remains the gold standard treatment for patients with ulcerative colitis who desire restoration of intestinal continuity. Despite a significant cancer risk reduction after surgical removal of the colon and rectum, dysplasia and cancers of the ileal pouch or anal transition zone still occur and are a risk even if an anal canal mucosectomy is performed. Surgical care and maintenance after ileoanal anastomosis must include consideration of malignant potential along with other commonly monitored variables such as bowel function and quality of life. Cancers and dysplasia of the ileal pouch are rare but sometimes difficult-to-manage sequelae of pouch surgery.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). The risk for CRC is positively correlated to the duration of disease, extent of colonic involvement, and severity of inflammation. After 8 to 10 years of IBD diagnosis, the risk for CRC rises substantially and screening colonoscopy is recommended. Surveillance colonoscopy interval ranges from 1 to 5 years depending on patient and disease-specific risk factors. IBD patients with high risk factors such as having concomitant primary sclerosing cholangitis, moderate-to-severe inflammation, first-degree relative with CRC at early age, or history of invisible dysplasia or high-risk visible dysplasia should undergo surveillance colonoscopy in 1 year. Meanwhile, those with minimal colonic involvement or ≥2 consecutive unremarkable examinations while in continuous remission may consider extending the surveillance interval to 5 years. Advance in colonoscopy technique such as chromoendoscopy using dyes and/or image digital processing (virtual chromoendoscopy) may enhance dysplasia detection and is the preferred method for IBD surveillance. In the era of high-definition colonoscope, the practice of obtaining extensive biopsies throughout the colon remains controversial but is generally recommended to improve the detection rate of invisible dysplasia. Endoscopic surveillance in IBD has been shown to result in earlier detection of CRC and improved prognosis.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that progressively affects mucosa and submuccosa of the colon and rectum in a continual pattern. In comparison, Crohn disease (CD), the other type of IBD, is a chronic transmural inflammatory disorder that can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract. MR enterography (MRE) has emerged as an important imaging modality for the diagnosis and detection of disease activity and complications in CD, with comparable results to those of endoscopy. But MRE has been underused for assessment of UC in recent years, and clinicians heavily rely on endoscopic findings for management of UC. Despite UC being considered an endoscopically assessable disease, MRE can provide useful information beyond that obtained with endoscopy about mural or extramural abnormalities, inaccessible parts of the colonic lumen, associated extraintestinal diseases, and superimposed pathologic conditions. Moreover, endoscopy might be contraindicated in some clinical settings due to the risk of colonic perforation. In addition to depicting the features of UC activity in different phases, MRE demonstrates findings of disease chronicity that cannot be achieved with endoscopy, particularly in a patient with colitis of unknown cause. The valuable diagnostic role of MRE to exclude undiagnosed CD in patients with UC who have refractory disease or those with postproctocolectomy complications is also emphasized. Radiologists can play a crucial role in the management of UC with MRE by addressing what is beyond endoscopy. ©RSNA, 2023 Test Your Knowledge questions are available in the supplemental material.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer or dysplasia, ileal pouch-anal handsewn anastomosis (IAA) is preferred to avoid the risk of cancer development in the remaining rectal mucosa. However, there is a risk of the ileal pouch not reaching the anus with this procedure. Here, we created deformable 3-dimensional (3D) models for simulation. METHOD Six patients who underwent IAA without vessel ligation and 5 patients who underwent ileal pouch-anal canal double-stapled anastomosis (IACA) because the ileal pouch did not reach the anus were studied. A 3D printer was used to create deformable 3D models from the data obtained from computed tomography scans. The positional relationship among the mesenteric arteries, pubis, and coccyx were evaluated. RESULT The distance between the superior mesenteric artery root and the tip of the ileal artery was longer in the IAA group than that in the IACA group (IAA vs IACA: 26.2 ± 2.1 cm vs 20.9 ± 1.6cm). The distance from the tip of the ileal artery to the coccyx (IAA vs IACA: 6.7 ± 1.7 cm vs 12.1 ± 2.1 cm) and the distance from the tip of the ileal artery to the lower edge of the pubis (IAA vs IACA; 8.1 ± 1.3 cm vs 12.7 ± 2.4 cm) were longer in the IACA group than those in the IAA group. CONCLUSIONS We established a method for creating 3D deformable models of patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. These 3D models may be useful for preoperative simulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inflammatory bowel disease colitis-associated dysplasia is managed with either enhanced surveillance and endoscopic resection or prophylactic surgery. The rate of progression to cancer after a dysplasia diagnosis remains uncertain in many cases and patients have high thresholds for accepting proctocolectomy. Individualised discussion of management options is encouraged to take place between patients and their multidisciplinary teams for best outcomes. We aimed to develop a toolkit to support a structured, multidisciplinary and shared decision-making approach to discussions about dysplasia management options between clinicians and their patients. METHODS Evidence from systematic literature reviews, mixed-methods studies conducted with key stakeholders, and decision-making expert recommendations were consolidated to draft consensus statements by the DECIDE steering group. These were then subjected to an international, multidisciplinary modified electronic Delphi process until an a priori threshold of 80% agreement was achieved to establish consensus for each statement. RESULTS In all, 31 members [15 gastroenterologists, 14 colorectal surgeons and two nurse specialists] from nine countries formed the Delphi panel. We present the 18 consensus statements generated after two iterative rounds of anonymous voting. CONCLUSIONS By consolidating evidence for best practice using literature review and key stakeholder and decision-making expert consultation, we have developed international consensus recommendations to support health care professionals counselling patients on the management of high cancer risk colitis-associated dysplasia. The final toolkit includes clinician and patient decision aids to facilitate shared decision-making.

Abstract
As medical management of inflammatory bowel disease makes great advances, most patients with inflammatory bowel disease will have long life expectancies without need for total colectomy. With prolonged disease duration, however, there is increased risk of dysplasia leading to colorectal cancer. Multiple consensus and guideline documents have been published over the last decade with recommendations to optimize early detection and management of dysplastic lesions. Endoscopic technology has improved tremendously, even over the past few years. Previously invisible dysplasia has become visible in most cases with advanced imaging technologies that now allow for much clearer and more detailed mucosal inspection. New tools to facilitate endoscopic resection of visible lesions have also enabled patients to avoid colectomy, with resulting need to continue colon surveillance. There are limited or conflicting data leading to inconsistent recommendations regarding the need for random biopsies, the preferred endoscopic imaging technique, and surveillance intervals after resection of dysplasia. Similarly, there remains significant variability in the application of guidelines into daily practice and availability of and training with advanced imaging technologies. Here, we present a narrative review of which patients are at highest risk for dysplasia, the current guidelines on surveillance colonoscopy, factors affecting optimal mucosal visualization, enhanced imaging techniques, standardized reporting terminologies for surveillance colonoscopy, endoscopic management of dysplasia, indications for colectomy, and briefly on future potential technologies to assist in dysplasia detection.

Abstract
Management of ulcerative colitis after surgery suggested by guidelines (total proctocolectomy with ileal-pouch anal anastomosis) is a big challenge for physicians because patients who believed that their disease had been cured started experiencing very uncomfortable symptoms repeatedly. A high number of patients develop episodes of pouchitis, which is a non-specific inflammation of the pouch whose etiology is unknown. Antibiotics are the elective treatment for acute pouchitis, but regarding chronic pouchitis, this condition is very complicated to treat due to the absence of well-designed specific studies for this group of patients. Antibiotics, budesonide, and biological therapies are some of the recommended drugs for these patients, but despite their use, some need a permanent ileostomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continent ileostomy was first introduced by Nils Kock in 1969 as Kock pouch (K-pouch). Its most characteristic feature, the nipple valve that offers continence' was a later addition. Even though today's continent ileostomy is sidelined by ileal pouch-anal anastomosis as the gold standard of restorative procedures for colectomy patients, it remains an excellent option for select patients, offering an alternative to end-ileostomy or a poorly functioning ileoanal pouch. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to summarize principles and techniques behind K-pouch construction, both de novo and as "J to K" conversion, as well as examine surgical outcomes following the procedure in the modern era regardless of indication. DATA SOURCES Data sources included PubMed and the Cochrane Library up to July 2021. STUDY SELECTION The study selection materials included articles reviewing continent ileostomy procedures and outcomes between 2000-2021. Case reports and series <15 were excluded. RESULTS Fifteen articles were selected for review, describing 958 patients with a K-pouch, 510 patients who had undergone a Barnett continent intestinal reservoir, and 40 who had undergone construction of a T-pouch. CONCLUSION Continent ileostomies carried out in specialized centers by experienced surgeons can be a great option for patients who would otherwise be confined by an end ileostomy. High pouch survival rates with higher quality-of-life scores than end ileostomy and comparable with IPAA make continent ileostomy a great option, even if we consider the less than ideal reoperation and complication rates. However, it is of paramount importance that patients are carefully selected, thoroughly educated, highly motivated, and engaged in their care. Specifically, for patients with Crohn's disease, further research is needed to help elucidate factors that affect pouch survival and candidacy for K-pouch creation. Finally, continuous surgical technique modifications and refinements can allow even more patients to be considered suitable for the procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouch neoplasia occurs following ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, with or without mucosectomy in ulcerative colitis and familiar adenomatous polyposis. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to review available literature and make recommendations regarding pouch neoplasia. DATA SOURCES Data were collected from specialty hospitals, and a literature review was conducted due to the lack of published large-scale studies. Recommendations for treatment were made based on the literature review and expert opinions. STUDY SELECTION Large-scale studies of pouch neoplasia were selected. INTERVENTION The intervention was studies with details of pouch neoplasia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We aimed to identify the management modalities for pouch neoplasia based on the type. RESULTS Pouch neoplasia can occur in each component of the pouch-afferent limb, pouch body, cuff, and anal transitional zone. In patients with ulcerative colitis, pouch neoplasia is treated because colitis-associated neoplasia comprises a multifocal lesion, which most commonly involves the cuff and anal transitional zone. Close surveillance or endoscopic complete resection is optimal for low-grade dysplasia. For adenocarcinoma, high-grade dysplasia, and low-grade dysplasia with difficult complete resection, pouch excision is recommended. In familiar adenomatous polyposis patients with adenomas of the afferent limb or pouch body, endoscopic resection is optimal. Endoscopic resection is feasible for discrete adenoma in the cuff and anal transitional zone, and surgical excision is optimal for laterally spreading, extensive, large, or flat adenoma. For adenocarcinomas involving any component, pouch excision is recommended. LIMITATIONS Published large-scale studies were lacking because of disease rarity. CONCLUSION Pouch neoplasia occurs in each pouch component. In patients with ulcerative colitis, pouch excision is recommended for adenocarcinomas and high-grade dysplasia, whereas endoscopic intervention may be preferable to low-grade dysplasia. In familiar adenomatous polyposis patients, pouch excision is necessary for adenocarcinoma, and endoscopic resection or excisional surgery is optimal for adenoma.

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 Patients with longstanding ulcerative colitis and Crohn's colitis are at risk for developing colorectal cancer and need regular endoscopic surveillance to detect and remove precursor lesions. To do so, different technologies are available. DATA SOURCES The sources are observational and controlled studies, meta-analysis, and expert consensus articles available on PubMed. STUDY SELECTION The selected materials include articles reporting outcomes of and recommendations on endoscopic surveillance and resection of dysplasia in the gastrointestinal tract, including the ileoanal pouch and the anal transition zone, in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Incidence and detection rate of dysplasia and cancer with different endoscopic techniques in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. RESULTS Risk of cancer is proportional to the duration and extent of the disease, and surveillance interval should be tailored on the individual risk in a range of 1 to 5 years. High-definition imaging and virtual chromoendoscopy have improved the detection of dysplasia and are now comparable with conventional dye spray chromoendoscopy. After restorative proctocolectomy with ileoanal pouch, the risk of cancer is modest, but its high mortality warrants endoscopic surveillance. The evidence to guide pouch surveillance is limited, and recently, the first expert consensus provided a framework of recommendations, which include an initial assessment 1 year after surgery and follow-up depending on individual risk factors. LIMITATIONS The limitation includes scarcity of data on ileoanal pouch surveillance. CONCLUSIONS Virtual chromoendoscopy and high-definition imaging have improved endoscopic surveillance, and more progress is expected with the implementation of artificial intelligence systems.

Abstract
Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is a popular way of reconstruction the gastrointestinal tract after total proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis. The pouch-anal anastomosis is usually stapled, which requires the preservation of a small amount of upper anal canal and lower rectum. This includes the anal transition zone (ATZ), a surprisingly small and irregular ring of tissue at and just above the dentate line. The ATZ and rectal cuff is prone to inflammation and neoplasia, particularly in patients who had a colon cancer or dysplasia at the time their large bowel was removed. This high-risk group needs ATZ/rectal cuff surveillance before and after the surgery. Those without colorectal dysplasia preoperatively are at low risk of developing ATZ/rectal cuff dysplasia postoperatively and follow-up can be more relaxed. Treatment of ATZ dysplasia is difficult and may mean mucosectomy, pouch advancement, pouch removal, or a redo pelvic pouch.

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
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
INTRODUCTION Restorative proctocolectomy results in the formation of a pouch that adapts to a more colonic phenotype. The incidence of cancer of the pouch is thought to be low with most societal guidelines differing on their recommendations for surveillance. AIMS We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis to report the incidence of cancer in all pouch patients. METHODS The Embase, Embase classic and PubMed databases were searched between June 1979- June 2021. A random effects model was performed to find the pooled incidence of pouch cancer. In addition, we also looked for risk factors for pouch cancers. RESULTS Forty-six studies were included. In 19,964 patients with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) the pooled incidence of pouch cancer was 0.0030 (95% CI: 0.0016 -0.0055). In 3741 patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) the pooled incidence of pouch cancer was 0.01 (95% CI: 0.01 - 0.02). In UC most pouch cancers were found to occur in the pouch body (0.59 (95% CI: 0.29-0.84)). CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that the pooled incidence of pouch cancer in UC is similar to that which was previously published, and this is the first meta-analysis to report a pooled incidence for pouch cancer in FAP.

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.

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
Surveillance pouchoscopy is recommended for patients with restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis, with the surveillance interval depending on the risk of neoplasia. Neoplasia in patients with ileal pouches mainly have a glandular source and less often are of squamous cell origin. Various grades of neoplasia can occur in the prepouch ileum, pouch body, rectal cuff, anal transition zone, anus, or perianal skin. The main treatment modalities are endoscopic polypectomy, endoscopic ablation, endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection, surgical local excision, surgical circumferential resection and re-anastomosis, and pouch excision. The choice of the treatment modality is determined by the grade, location, size, and features of neoplastic lesions, along with patients' risk of neoplasia and comorbidities, and local endoscopic and surgical expertise.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the selection criteria, postoperative complications, bowel function, and prognosis of stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and hand-sewn IPAA for ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS We defined our surgical indications and strategy, and compared the postoperative complications, bowel function, and prognoses between patients who underwent stapled and hand-sewn IPAA for UC at the Yokohama City University Medical Center between 2004 and 2017. RESULTS Among 320 patients enrolled, 298 patients underwent stapled IPAA while 22 underwent hand-sewn IPAA. There was no significant difference in the postoperative complications between the two groups. Regarding postoperative bowel function, stapled IPAA caused significantly less soiling (stapled vs hand-sewn: 9.1% vs 41.0%, odds ratio (OR) = 0.14, p < 0.0002), spotting (stapled vs hand-sewn: 23.2% vs 63.6%, OR = 0.17, p < 0.0001), and difficulty in distinguishing feces from flatus (stapled vs hand-sewn: 39.9% vs 63.6%, OR = 0.36, p < 0.026). No postoperative neoplasia was observed at the final follow-up in all patients. CONCLUSION In this study, there was no clear difference in the postoperative complications between stapled and hand-sewn IPAA, but stapled IPAA resulted in better postoperative bowel function. Postoperative oncogenesis from the residual mucosa is rare. However, future cancer risk remains; thus, careful follow-up is required.

Abstract
Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at risk of developing a colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to examine our experience in the treatment of ulcerative Colitis Cancer (CC), the role of the ileal pouch–anal anastomosis (IPAA), and the clinical outcome of the operated patients. Data from 417 patients operated on for ulcerative colitis were reviewed. Fifty-two (12%) were found to have carcinoma of the colon (n = 43) or the rectum (n = 9). The indication to surgery, the histopathological type, the cancer stage, the type of surgery, the oncologic outcome, and the functional result of IPAA were examined. The majority of the patients had a mucinous or signet-ring carcinoma. An advanced stage (III or IV) was present in 28% of the patients. Early (stage I or II) CC was found in all except one patient submitted to surgery for high-grade dysplasia, low-grade dysplasia, or refractory colitis. Thirty-nine (75%) of the 52 patients underwent IPAA, 10 patients were treated with a total abdominal proctocolectomy with terminal ileostomy. IPAA was possible in 6/9 rectal CC. Cumulative survival rate 5 and 10 years after surgery was 61% and 53%, respectively. The survival rate was significantly lower for mucinous or signet-ring carcinomas than for other adenocarcinoma. No significant differences of the functional results and quality of life were observed between IPAA patients aged less than or more than 65 years. Failure of the pouch occurred in 5 of 39 (12.8%) patients for cancer of the pouch (2 pts) or for tumoral recurrence at the pelvic or peritoneal level. Early surgery must be considered every time dysplasia is discovered in patients affected by UC. The advanced tumoral stage and the mucous or signet-ring hystotype influence negatively the response to therapy and the survival after surgery. IPAA can be proposed in the majority of the patients with a functional result similar to that of UC patients not affected by CC. Failures of IPAA for peritoneal recurrence or metachronous cancer of the pouch can be observed when CC is advanced, moucinous, localized in the distal rectum, or is associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis.

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
BACKGROUND The risk of neoplasia of the pouch or residual rectum in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who undergo total proctocolectomy (TPC) with ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is incompletely investigated. Thiopurine use is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal neoplasia in patients with UC. We tested the hypothesis that thiopurine use prior to TPC may be associated with a reduced risk of primary neoplasia after IPAA. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of patients from a tertiary referral center from January 2008 to December 2017. Eligible patients with UC or IC underwent TPC with IPAA and had at least two pouchoscopies with biopsies ≥ 6 months after surgery. Propensity score analysis was conducted to match thiopurine exposed vs unexposed groups based on clinical covariates. Multivariable Cox regression analysis estimated the risk of neoplasia. RESULTS A total of 284 patients with UC or IC (57.4% male, median age 35.6 years) were analyzed. Ninety-seven patients (34.2%) were confirmed to have thiopurine exposure ≥ 12 weeks immediately prior to TPC ("exposed") and 187 (65.8%) were confirmed to have no thiopurine exposure for at least 365 days prior to TPC ("non-exposed"). Compared to non-exposed patients, patients with thiopurine exposure less often had dysplasia (7.2% vs 23.0%, p = 0.001) and had lower grades of dysplasia before colectomy. After IPAA, patients with neoplasia were older (44.0 vs 34.8 years, p = 0.03), more likely to have had dysplasia as colectomy indication (44.4% vs 15.4%, p = 0.007), and more likely to require pouch excision (55.6% vs 10.2%, p < 0.0001), compared to patients without neoplasia. On propensity-matched cohort analysis, no factors were significantly associated with risk of primary neoplasia. CONCLUSION Thiopurine exposure for at least the 12 weeks prior to TPC in patients with UC or IC does not appear to be independently associated with risk of primary neoplasia following IPAA.

Abstract
1: ESGE suggests performing segmental biopsies (at least two from each segment), which should be placed in different specimen containers (ileum, cecum, ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid colon, and rectum) in patients with clinical and endoscopic signs of colitis.Weak recommendation, low quality of evidence. 2: ESGE recommends taking two biopsies from the right hemicolon (ascending and transverse colon) and, in a separate container, two biopsies from the left hemicolon (descending and sigmoid colon) when microscopic colitis is suspected.Strong recommendation, low quality of evidence. 3: ESGE recommends pancolonic dye-based chromoendoscopy or virtual chromoendoscopy with targeted biopsies of any visible lesions during surveillance endoscopy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Strong recommendation, moderate quality of evidence. 4: ESGE suggests that, in high risk patients with a history of colonic neoplasia, tubular-appearing colon, strictures, ongoing therapy-refractory inflammation, or primary sclerosing cholangitis, chromoendoscopy with targeted biopsies can be combined with four-quadrant non-targeted biopsies every 10 cm along the colon. Weak recommendation, low quality of evidence. 5: ESGE recommends that, if pouch surveillance for dysplasia is performed, visible abnormalities should be biopsied, with at least two biopsies systematically taken from each of the afferent ileal loop, the efferent blind loop, the pouch, and the anorectal cuff.Strong recommendation, low quality of evidence. 6: ESGE recommends that, in patients with known ulcerative colitis and endoscopic signs of inflammation, at least two biopsies be obtained from the worst affected areas for the assessment of activity or the presence of cytomegalovirus; for those with no evident endoscopic signs of inflammation, advanced imaging technologies may be useful in identifying areas for targeted biopsies to assess histologic remission if this would have therapeutic consequences. Strong recommendation, low quality of evidence. 7: ESGE suggests not biopsying endoscopically visible inflammation or normal-appearing mucosa to assess disease activity in known Crohn's disease.Weak recommendation, low quality of evidence. 8: ESGE recommends that adequately assessed colorectal polyps that are judged to be premalignant should be fully excised rather than biopsied.Strong recommendation, low quality of evidence. 9: ESGE recommends that, where endoscopically feasible, potentially malignant colorectal polyps should be excised en bloc rather than being biopsied. If the endoscopist cannot confidently perform en bloc excision at that time, careful representative images (rather than biopsies) should be taken of the potential focus of cancer, and the patient should be rescheduled or referred to an expert center.Strong recommendation, low quality of evidence. 10: ESGE recommends that, in malignant lesions not amenable to endoscopic excision owing to deep invasion, six carefully targeted biopsies should be taken from the potential focus of cancer.Strong recommendation, low quality of evidence.

Abstract
A 36-year-old man with familial adenomatous polyposis secondary to an adenomatous polyposis coli mutation status post proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis presented with hematochezia. Pouchoscopy revealed a 4-cm indurated mass in the distal ileal pouch just 17 months after a normal pouchoscopy. Histopathology was diagnostic for Burkitt lymphoma, and the patient achieved complete remission with subsequent chemotherapy. Although there are reports of Burkitt lymphoma in patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, to date, this is the first report in a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis. This case highlights the presentation of a rapidly enlarging tumor not commonly seen in the adult gastroenterology population.

Abstract
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is an option for most patients with ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis who require colectomy. Although the construction of an ileal pouch substantially improves patients' health-related quality of life, the surgery is, directly or indirectly, associated with various structural, inflammatory, and functional adverse sequelae. Furthermore, the surgical procedure does not completely abolish the risk for neoplasia. Patients with ileal pouches often present with extraintestinal, systemic inflammatory conditions. The International Ileal Pouch Consortium was established to create this consensus document on the diagnosis and classification of ileal pouch disorders using available evidence and the panellists' expertise. In a given individual, the condition of the pouch can change over time. Therefore, close monitoring of the activity and progression of the disease is essential to make accurate modifications in the diagnosis and classification in a timely manner.

Abstract
Surveillance colonoscopies for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are necessary to monitor for the development of cancer and its precursor, dysplasia. The management of dysplasia in the setting of UC has been evolving over the past two decades. This is in large part due to higher resolution colonoscopes and development of advanced endoscopic techniques, such as chromoendoscopy, endoscopic mucosal resection, and endoscopic submucosal dissection. Mucosal evaluation, as well as identification and removal of dysplastic tissue, has improved markedly, such that the majority of dysplasia is now considered visible. Whereas previously random biopsies were deemed necessary for surveillance, currently their value is uncertain. Surveillance with high-definition colonoscopes is recommended and consideration of chromoendoscopy is suggested. During colonoscopy, if visible dysplasia is identified and removed completely, continued surveillance is appropriate. If dysplasia is unresectable or there are other high-risk factors such as primary sclerosing cholangitis or multifocality, patients should undergo colectomy. If random biopsies are taken and high-grade dysplasia is identified, that is, invisible dysplasia, patients should similarly consider colectomy. Surgical options include total proctocolectomy with end ileostomy versus ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Patients undergoing pouch surgery must continue surveillance for dysplasia of the rectal cuff and the pouch. Although surgical management remains an important option for dysplasia in the setting of UC, endoscopic surveillance and resection have improved tremendously, leading to a shift in the overall management strategies for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] requires a lifelong multidisciplinary approach. The quality of medical reporting is crucial in this context. The present topical review addresses the need for optimised reporting in endoscopy, surgery, and histopathology. METHODS A consensus expert panel consisting of gastroenterologists, surgeons, and pathologists, convened by the European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation, performed a systematic literature review. The following topics were covered: in endoscopy: [i] general IBD endoscopy; [ii] disease activity and surveillance; [iii] endoscopy treatment in IBD; in surgery: [iv] medical history with surgical relevance, surgical indication, and strategy; [v] operative approach; [vi] intraoperative disease description; [vii] operative steps; in pathology: [viii] macroscopic assessment and interpretation of resection specimens; [ix] IBD histology, including biopsies, surgical resections, and neoplasia; [x] IBD histology conclusion and report. Statements were developed using a Delphi methodology incorporating two consecutive rounds. Current practice positions were set when ≥ 80% of participants agreed on a recommendation. RESULTS Thirty practice positions established a standard terminology for optimal reporting in endoscopy, surgery, and histopathology. Assessment of disease activity, surveillance recommendations, advice to surgeons for operative indication and strategies, including margins and extent of resection, and diagnostic criteria of IBD, as well as guidance for the interpretation of dysplasia and cancer, were handled. A standardised report including a core set of items to include in each specialty report, was defined. CONCLUSIONS Interdisciplinary high-quality care requires thorough and standardised reporting across specialties. This topical review offers an actionable framework and practice recommendations to optimise reporting in endoscopy, surgery, and histopathology.

Abstract
The majority of patients with Crohn's disease and a proportion of patients with ulcerative colitis will ultimately require surgical treatment despite advances in diagnosis, therapy, and endoscopic interventions. The surgical procedures that are most commonly done include bowel resection with anastomosis, strictureplasty, faecal diversion, and ileal pouch. These surgical treatment modalities result in substantial alterations in bowel anatomy. In patients with inflammatory bowel disease, endoscopy plays a key role in the assessment of disease activity, disease recurrence, treatment response, dysplasia surveillance, and delivery of endoscopic therapy. Endoscopic evaluation and management of surgically altered bowel can be challenging. This consensus guideline delineates anatomical landmarks and endoscopic assessment of these landmarks in diseased and surgically altered bowel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Performing a mucosectomy with a hand-sewn ileal pouch-anal anastomosis [IPAA] for ulcerative colitis [UC] theoretically reduces the risk of carcinoma arising from the anal transitional zone [ATZ]. Although current guidelines suggest a stapled anastomosis due to the low incidence of cancer after pouch surgery in UC patients, only a few small series have addressed the oncological advantage of mucosectomy. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the incidence of ATZ/pouch cancer. METHODS A total of 1970 UC patients who underwent surgery between April 1987 and December 2018 were included. We retrospectively analysed the incidences of primary ATZ cancer in the original operative specimen and de novo ATZ/pouch cancer after surgery. Possible risk factors for primary ATZ cancer and the pouch survival rate were assessed. RESULTS Fourteen [6.4%] primary ATZ cancers developed in 220 UC-colorectal cancer [CRC] cases. Multiple (odds ratio [OR] = 8.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.77-27.83, p < 0.01) and rectal [OR = 6.48, 95% CI 1.41-29.7, p = 0.01] cancers were identified as independent risk factors for primary ATZ cancer. Four of 1970 [0.2%] patients developed de novo ATZ/pouch cancer and dysplasia. The 10-year estimated cumulative pouch survival rate was not significantly different between stapled IPAA and hand-sewn IPAA cases [95.9% and 97.3%, p = 0.25]. CONCLUSION The risk of de novo ATZ/pouch cancer and dysplasia was rare. The decision to perform a hand-sewn or a stapled IAA should be made on a case-by-case basis. However, the relatively high incidence of primary ATZ cancer in UC patients with CRC suggests that mucosectomy should be recommended for this patient group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileorectal anastomosis in patients with ulcerative colitis results in decreased postoperative morbidity and better functional outcome but leads to increased risk for rectal cancer compared with IPAA. OBJECTIVE This study aims to compare ileorectal anastomosis with IPAA in ulcerative colitis by using a decision model. DESIGN A Markov simulation model was designed to simulate clinical events of ileorectal anastomosis and IPAA over a time horizon of 40 years with time cycles of 1 year. All probabilities and utilities were derived from observational studies, identified after a systematic literature search using MEDLINE. Primary outcomes were life-years and quality-adjusted life-years. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. SETTINGS A decision model using Markov simulation was designed. PATIENTS The base case was a 35-year-old patient with ulcerative colitis and a relatively preserved rectum. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES The primary outcome measures were (quality-adjusted) life-years. RESULTS The model resulted in lower life-years (36.22 vs 37.02) and higher quality-adjusted life-years (33.42 vs 31.57) for ileorectal anastomosis. This was confirmed after probabilistic sensitivity analysis. The model was sensitive to the utility of ileorectal anastomosis, IPAA, and end-ileostomy. A higher proportion of patients with ileorectal anastomosis will develop rectal cancer (7.6% vs 3.2%) and 43.5% of all patients with ileorectal anastomosis will end with an ileostomy as opposed to 23.0% of all patients with IPAA. LIMITATIONS The study was limited by characteristics inherent to modeling studies, including assumptions necessary to build the model, data input based on best available but often limited evidence, and unavoidable extra- and interpolation of data. CONCLUSIONS Ileorectal anastomosis was the preferred treatment option when quality-adjusted life-years were the outcome, with higher life-years for IPAA. This model highlights that both surgical strategies are useful in patients who have ulcerative colitis with a relatively spared rectum. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B249. ANASTOMOSIS ILEORRECTAL VERSUS ANASTOMOSIS ANAL CON RESERVORIO ILEAL EN EL TRATAMIENTO QUIRÚRGICO DE LA COLITIS ULCEROSA: ANÁLISIS DE DECISIÓN DE MARKOV: Las anastomosis ileorrectales en pacientes con colitis ulcerosa se encuentran asociadas con la disminución de la morbilidad postoperatoria y un mejor resultado funcional, pero conducen a un mayor riesgo de cáncer de recto cuando se las compara con casos de confección de un reservorio íleo-anal.Comparar las anastomosis ileorrectales con la anastomosis de un reservorio íleo-anal en casos de colitis ulcerosa, utilizando un modelo de procesos de decisión.Se diseñó un modelo de proceso de Markov para simular eventos clínicos en casos de anastomosis ileorrectales y anastomosis de reservorios íleo-anales en un horizonte temporal de 40 años comprendiendo ciclos temporales de 1 año. Todas las probabilidades y utilidades se derivaron de estudios observacionales, identificados después de una búsqueda sistemática de literatura usando MEDLINE. Los resultados primarios fueron años de vida y los años ajustados a la calidad de vida. Se realizaron los análisis de sensibilidad determinada y de probabilística.Se diseñó un modelo de decisión utilizando el proceso de simulación de Markov.El caso base fue el de un paciente de 35 años con colitis ulcerosa y con un recto relativamente sano.El resultado principal fué la medida de los años de vida (con ajuste en la calidad de vida).El modelo resultó en menos años de vida (36.22 frente a 37.02) y años de vida de menor calidad (33.42 frente a 31.57) para los casos de anastomosis ileorrectales. Esto se confirmó después del análisis de sensibilidad probabilística. El modelo era sensible a la utilidad de la anastomosis ileorrectal, la anastomosis del reservorio íleo-anal y la ileostomía terminal. Una mayor proporción de pacientes con anastomosis ileorectales desarrollarán cáncer de recto (7,6% frente a 3,2%) y el 43,5% de todos los pacientes con anastomosis ileorrectales terminarán con una ileostomía en comparación con el 23,0% de todos los pacientes con un reservorio íleo-anal.El analisis estuvo limitado por las características inherentes a los estudios de modelado, incluidas las suposiciones necesarias para construir el modelo, la entrada de datos basada en la mejor evidencia disponible pero a menudo limitada y la extrapolación e interpolación inevitable de datos.Las anastomosis ileorrectales fueron la opción de tratamiento preferida cuando el resultado fue ajustado en años con calidad de vida, con años de vida más larga para la anastomosis de reservorios íleo-anales. Este modelo destaca que ambas estrategias quirúrgicas son útiles en pacientes con colitis ulcerosa con rectos relativamente sanos. Consulte Video Resumen en http://links.lww.com/DCR/B249.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are immune-mediated disorders characterized by a chronic inflammation, with intermittent exacerbations of symptoms and inflammation. In both diseases, medical treatment has made revolutionary steps forward. Nevertheless, surgery is still required in many cases due to inefficacy of multiple medical therapies. It is not clear whether surgery rates in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are currently decreasing despite all improvements. AREAS COVERED Multidisciplinary management is critical in surgical patients to improve long-term outcomes. Endoscopy plays a crucial role, both before and after surgery, in planning therapeutic strategies and stratifying risk of recurrence. Aim of this review is to provide a deeper insight into the central role of endoscopy in the postoperative management of IBD patients, focusing on recent research advances, future challenges and unresolved questions. EXPERT OPINION Both UC and CD surgical patients need endoscopy to define the correct therapeutic choice, predict subsequent disease course and adopt the correct surveillance strategy. In the next future, newer endoscopic techniques could be systematically applied in IBD patients after surgery, to assess early postoperative inflammation, response to treatment, or, regarding UC, to provide enhanced pouch surveillance, allowing for early detection of inflammation and dysplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No formal guidelines exist for surveillance pouchoscopy following ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis. METHODS All adults who had previously had IPAA for ulcerative colitis, and underwent a pouchoscopy between 1 January 2010 and 1 January 2020, were included. RESULTS A total of 9398 pouchoscopy procedures were performed in 3672 patients. The majority of the examinations were diagnostic (8082, 86·0 per cent; 3260 patients) and the remainder were for routine surveillance (1316, 14·0 per cent; 412 patients). Thirteen patients (0·14 per cent of procedures) were found to have biopsy-proven neoplasia at the time of pouchoscopy; seven had low-grade dysplasia (LGD) (0·07 per cent; all located in the anal transition zone), none had high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and six (0·06 per cent) had invasive adenocarcinoma (4 in anal transition zone and 6 in pouch). Of the six patients with adenocarcinoma, four had neoplasia at the time of proctocolectomy (2 adenocarcinoma, 1 LGD, 1 HGD); all six were symptomatic with anal bleeding or pelvic pain at the time of pouchoscopy, had a negative surveillance pouchoscopy examination within 2 years of diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, had palpable masses on digital rectal examination, and had visible lesions at the time of pouchoscopy. CONCLUSION Surveillance pouchoscopy is not recommended in asymptomatic patients because significant neoplasia following IPAA for ulcerative colitis is rare.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at an increased risk for developing colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the incidence has declined over the past 30 years, which is probably attributed to raise awareness, successful CRC surveillance programs and improved control of mucosal inflammation through chemoprevention. The risk factors for IBD-related CRC include more severe disease (as reflected by the extent of disease and the duration of poorly controlled disease), family history of CRC, pseudo polyps, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and male sex. The molecular pathogenesis of inflammatory epithelium might play a critical role in the development of CRC. IBD-related CRC is characterized by fewer rectal tumors, more synchronous and poorly differentiated tumors compared with sporadic cancers. There is no significant difference in sex distribution, stage at presentation, or survival. Surveillance is vital for the detection and subsequently management of dysplasia. Most guidelines recommend initiation of surveillance colonoscopy at 8 to 10 years after IBD diagnosis, followed by subsequent surveillance of 1 to 2 yearly intervals. Traditionally, surveillance colonoscopies with random colonic biopsies were used. However, recent data suggest that high definition and chromoendoscopy are better methods of surveillance by improving sensitivity to previously "invisible" flat dysplastic lesions. Management of dysplasia, timing of surveillance, chemoprevention, and the surgical approaches are all areas that stimulate various discussions. The aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date focus on CRC in IBD, from laboratory to bedside.

Abstract
Pouchitis is a frequent complication in ulcerative colitis patients after proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. It is an unspecific inflammation of the pouch with unknown aetiology. First-line treatment for acute and chronic pouchitis is antibiotics. Some cases of severe chronic refractory pouchitis may benefit from biological treatment. Anti-tumour necrosis factor should be recommended as the first option, leaving the new biologicals for multirefractory patients. Permanent ileostomy may be an option in severe cases, after failure of medical treatment. Prophylaxis therapy with a probiotic mixture is recommended after the first episode of pouchitis, whereas it is not clear whether probiotics are useful for all patients after surgery. Here, we present a case report and review the treatment options in different forms of pouchitis.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the principal forms of inflammatory bowel disease. Both represent chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which displays heterogeneity in inflammatory and symptomatic burden between patients and within individuals over time. Optimal management relies on understanding and tailoring evidence-based interventions by clinicians in partnership with patients. This guideline for management of inflammatory bowel disease in adults over 16 years of age was developed by Stakeholders representing UK physicians (British Society of Gastroenterology), surgeons (Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland), specialist nurses (Royal College of Nursing), paediatricians (British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition), dietitians (British Dietetic Association), radiologists (British Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology), general practitioners (Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology) and patients (Crohn's and Colitis UK). A systematic review of 88 247 publications and a Delphi consensus process involving 81 multidisciplinary clinicians and patients was undertaken to develop 168 evidence- and expert opinion-based recommendations for pharmacological, non-pharmacological and surgical interventions, as well as optimal service delivery in the management of both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Comprehensive up-to-date guidance is provided regarding indications for, initiation and monitoring of immunosuppressive therapies, nutrition interventions, pre-, peri- and postoperative management, as well as structure and function of the multidisciplinary team and integration between primary and secondary care. Twenty research priorities to inform future clinical management are presented, alongside objective measurement of priority importance, determined by 2379 electronic survey responses from individuals living with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, including patients, their families and friends.
