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
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
This is the second of a series of two articles reporting the European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation [ECCO] evidence-based consensus on the management of adult patients with ulcerative colitis [UC]. The first article is focused on medical management, and the present article addresses medical treatment of acute severe ulcerative colitis [ASUC] and surgical management of medically refractory UC patients, including preoperative optimisation, surgical strategies, and technical issues. The article provides advice for a variety of common clinical and surgical conditions. Together, the articles represent an update of the evidence-based recommendations of the ECCO for UC.

Incidence and Risk Factors of Cancer in the Anal Transitional Zone and Ileal Pouch following Surgery for Ulcerative Colitis and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14030530. [PMID: 35158797 PMCID: PMC8833833 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14030530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
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
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
Background Transanal dissection of the rectum has been recently introduced for ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in UC showing promising results. Thanks to the precise identification of the rectotomy site the risk of long rectal stump is avoided, and a single stapled anastomosis is performed easily. The aim of this study is to analyze our initial experience of transanal proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (TaIPAA), considering postoperative complications and medium-term functional outcomes. Methods Our Center has experienced the transanal approach for proctectomy and IPAA since August 2018. All patients underwent Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. Postoperative complications occurring within 30 days after surgery were taken into consideration. Fecal continence, genito-urinary activity and global quality of life at 1 and 6 months after ileostomy reversal have been assessed. Results Until March 2019, 8 patients underwent transanal proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (TaIPAA). In all cases the laparoscopic approach was performed during the transabdominal phase; abdominal drainage was never used. At the time of the pouch construction a defunctioning loop ileostomy was created in all patients. Stoma closure was performed in all cases at a median time of 6 months after surgery. Postoperative complications occurred in only one patient, who showed rectal bleeding, not required a re-invertation. There were no cases of anastomotic leakage. Medium-term functional outcomes were determined prospectively using previously validated quality of life questionnaires (Cleveland Global Quality of Life). Fecal incontinence for liquid or solid stool, genitourinary and sexual functions were also investigated, showing comparable results with the literature data. Conclusions In our experience, transanal proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis provided good short and medium-term functional results in UC.

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
The Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery (SICCR) promoted the project reported here, which consists of a Position Statement of Italian colorectal surgeons to address the surgical aspects of ulcerative colitis management. Members of the society were invited to express their opinions on several items proposed by the writing committee, based on evidence available in the literature. The results are presented, focusing on relevant points. The present paper is not an alternative to available guidelines; rather, it offers a snapshot of the attitudes of SICCR surgeons about the surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis. The committee was able to identify some points of major disagreement and suggested strategies to improve the quality of available data and acceptance of guidelines.

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.

Abstract
AIM For ulcerative colitis (UC), stapled ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) reportedly results in better bowel function than does IPAA with mucosectomy. However, a potential cancer risk in the remnant mucosa has been observed. The clinical results of IPAA by double stapling technique (DS-IPAA) in which the anastomotic line was on the dentate line at posterior wall and the top of anal canal at anterior wall ("Partially intraanal canal anastomosis": PICA) to reduce the remnant mucosa were evaluated. METHODS Clinical results of PICA were retrospectively compared with those by DS-IPAA with anastomosis at above the anal canal on 1 year after open surgery. Of 211 UC cases that underwent DS-IPAA, 146 cases (69%) with PICA who were confirmed by the squamous epithelium on the posterior part of the distal donuts were included. Sixty-five cases with anastomosis above the anal canal were evaluated as the control. One stage surgery underwent in 95% of PICA and 93% of control. RESULTS One year after surgery, each group had six bowel movements daily. Nighttime evacuation was found in 16% of PICA and in 20% of control. Soiling was found in 1% of PICA and 4.8% of control. After one stage operation, anastomotic leakage that needed ileostomy was observed in 0.7% of PICA and 3% of control. CONCLUSION Partially intraanal canal anastomosis (PICA) can reduce anal canal mucosa with the same postoperative bowel function and complication rate as DS-IPAA above the anal canal. This procedure may be feasible for UC patients who can tolerate this procedure in terms of decreasing postoperative cancer risk.

Abstract
As patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are living longer and our medical armamentarium expands, gastroenterologists are more frequently faced with treatment decisions about patients with IBD who also have a history of malignancy. This review aims to summarize the current literature on IBD, the inherent risk of developing gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal malignancies, and the risk of malignancies associated with available biologic and immunomodulatory therapies and to discuss the overall treatment strategy for a patient with a history of malignancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Restorative proctocolectomy (RP) may improve quality of life in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated lower rectal cancer to a greater extent than total proctocolectomy. However, patients with UC-associated cancer often have flat mucosal lesions that make it extremely difficult to endoscopically delineate the tumor margins. Therefore, there is a potential risk of residual tumor and local recurrence after RP in patients with UC-associated lower rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of RP in patients with UC-associated cancer of the lower rectum. METHODS We retrospectively identified nine patients who had undergone RP for UC-associated lower rectal cancer at the Niigata University Medical and Dental Hospital between January 2000 and December 2016. The incidence of flat mucosal cancer, distal margin status, and oncologic outcomes were evaluated in the nine patients. RESULTS Eight (89%) of the nine patients had flat mucosal cancer in the lower rectum. The median length of the distal margin was 22 mm (range 0-55 mm). No patient developed local or distant recurrence during follow-up. One patient had a positive distal margin. This patient underwent annual pouchoscopy, but had no local recurrence and died of pancreatic cancer 81 months after RP. The remaining eight patients were alive at the final observation. Five-year and 10-year overall survival rates in the nine patients were 100% and 66.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION Patients with UC-associated lower rectal cancer often have lesions of the flat mucosal type. However, RP is feasible and not necessarily contraindicated in such patients.

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

Abstract
Objective: There is no consensus on whether, when and how to surveil an ileal pouch. The aims of this study were to evaluate experts’ opinions and practice patterns on pouch surveillance and to determine if they were associated with detection of neoplasia. Methods: Eligible physicians were identified by searching the literature in MEDLINE and the physician list of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America and surveying by questionnaire. Results: Fifty-two eligible participants from 32 tertiary institutions were identified. Forty-one physicians (79%) felt that surveillance pouchoscopy was necessary, and 36 (69%) believed that pouchoscopy with biopsy was effective for the detection of neoplasia. Great variation exists with regard to the frequency of surveillance pouchoscopy. Eighteen physicians (35%) reported the detection of a total of 4 pouch dysplasias and 15 pouch cancers within the previous 5 years. The follow-up number of ileal pouches per year was significantly higher in the neoplasia detection group (50 vs 25, P = 0.041). Those who reported detecting neoplasia took even fewer biopsies from the ileal pouch body during the pouchoscopy examination (>3 biopsies per location, 44% vs 82%, P = 0.005). Multivariable analysis showed that the number of patients with ileal pouches followed up per year was the only independent factor associated with the detection of pouch neoplasia (odds ratio [OR]: 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1–2.1; P = 0.005). Conclusion: Most experts agree with performing pouchoscopy and biopsy for surveillance of ileal pouch neoplasia, although the optimal interval varies greatly. The detection of pouch neoplasia appears to be related to patient volume and physician experience.

Abstract
Background The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) among patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is increased compared to the general population. The diagnosis of CRC potentially influences surgical decision making in patients with UC. Methods This review considers clinical studies, systematic reviews, and guidelines on the surgical therapy of CRC in UC. We searched the bibliographic databases The Cochrane Library and Medline (applying MeSH terms such as ‘Colitis, Ulcerative/surgery’, ‘Colorectal Neoplasms’, and ‘Proctocolectomy, Restorative’) with no restriction on language, date, or country. Search results as well as references of relevant publications were independently screened by both authors of this review. Results The surgical gold standard for proven CRC in UC is oncological proctocolectomy, if possible preferably as a restorative procedure with formation of an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Mucosectomy and hand-sewn anastomosis is the preferred option for fashioning the anastomosis in these patients, especially in case of dysplasia or cancer in the rectum, although the available data is not conclusive. In highly selected cases of patients with histologically confirmed sporadic CRC without dysplasia in multiple random biopsies and without relevant inflammation, a conventional limited oncological resection is adequate. If UC patients with rectal cancer require radiotherapy, it should be performed in a neoadjuvant setting because of the high risk of radiation-induced pouch failure. Conclusion Although restorative proctocolectomy is clearly the gold standard therapy for patients with CRC in UC, surgical decision making has to take into account the various settings and patient factors.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal neoplasia. Ulcerative colitis increases the risk of colorectal cancer, and patients with this condition should undergo routine colonoscopic surveillance to detect neoplasia. Crohn's disease increases the risk of malignancy in inflamed segments of bowel, which may include small bowel, colon, rectum, and anus.

Abstract
The majority of patients suffering from ulcerative colitis (UC) are managed successfully with medical treatment, but a relevant number of them will still need surgery at some point in their life. Medical treatments and surgical techniques have changed dramatically in recent years, and available guidelines from relevant societies are rapidly evolving, providing UC experts with updated and valid practical recommendations. However, some aspects of the management of UC patients are still debated, and the application of guidelines in clinical practice may be suboptimal. The Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery (SICCR) sponsored the think tank in order to identify critical aspects of the surgical management of UC in Italy. The present paper reports the results of a think tank of Italian colorectal surgeons concerning surgery for UC and was not developed as an alternative to authoritative guidelines currently available. Members of the SICCR voted on several items proposed by the writing committee, based on evidence from the literature. The results are presented, focusing on points to be implemented. UC management relies on evaluations that need to be individualized, but points of major disagreement reported in this paper should be considered in order to develop strategies to improve the quality of the evidence and the application of guidelines in a clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Restorative proctocolectomy is the most common operation in patients with ulcerative colitis. The aim was to evaluate long-term changes in our operative treatment and early and late complications related to restorative proctocolectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study comprised 352 (149 females) patients over 18 years of age with ulcerative colitis who underwent restorative proctocolectomy in 1985-2009 median follow-up time of 5 years. RESULTS The indication for surgery was active chronic colitis in 168 (47.7%), acute colitis in 159 (45.2%), and cancer or dysplasia in 25 (7.1%) patients. Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis was performed using hand-sewn anastomosis with mucosectomy in 283 patients and stapled anastomosis in 69. A shift from hand-sewn to stapler ileal pouch-anal anastomosis took place in 2005. Covering ileostomy was carried out in 133 (37.8%) patients. There were 82 (23.3%) J-pouch-related complications. The operative mortality was 0.3%. There were significantly fewer leakages and early re-operations when covering ileostomy was used than when it was omitted: 6.0% versus 16.4% (p = 0.004), 4.5% versus 11.9% (p = 0.02), respectively. There were more strictures in hand-sewn than in stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomoses (17.6% vs. 0%, p = 0.001). Pouchitis occurred at least once in 134 (38.1%) patients. CONCLUSION The ileal pouch-anal anastomosis technique used in restorative proctocolectomy had changed over the past years from hand-sewn to stapled anastomosis. Covering ileostomy seemed to protect against major complications. Pouchitis was the most common late complication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients who undergo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) after colectomy for ulcerative colitis (UC) occasionally have neoplasia in the IPAA. Patients with evidence of dysplasia or carcinoma in the colorectal specimen may have an increased risk of such neoplasia. A surveillance program has been suggested. The aims of this study were to evaluate the outcomes of surveillance of a large patient cohort, and to investigate the prevalences of neoplasia in the ileal pouch mucosa and in the anal transitional zone (ATZ). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 629 patients underwent IPAA for UC at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden. Identified from a register, 73 patients with neoplasia in their specimen considered eligible for the trial were prospectively enrolled, and underwent clinical examination, endoscopy with macroscopic evaluation, and mucosal biopsies from the ileal pouch and the ATZ. The biopsies were independently evaluated by two experienced gastro-pathologists. RESULTS In all, 56 patients (39 males) with a median follow-up time of 18 (range, 1-29) years were evaluated. One patient (1.8%; 95% CI 0%-5.3%) showed low-grade dysplasia in the pouch, as recorded by one of the two pathologists. The individual pathologists recorded indefinite for dysplasia (IFD) in the pouch for 19 and 20 patients, respectively, and IFD in the ATZ for 2 and 4 patients, respectively. None of the biopsies showed evidence of high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS Neoplasia in the ileal pouch or ATZ after IPAA for UC is rare in the proposed risk group. The necessity for and value of a routine surveillance program should be prospectively evaluated.

Abstract
PURPOSE Restorative proctocolectomy is a current gold standard procedure for patients who require a colectomy for ulcerative colitis. The incidence of ileal pouch neoplasia is low. The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of neoplasia in ileal pouch and investigate the risk factors for ileal pouch neoplasia. METHODS A total of 276 patients who underwent restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis between 1984 and 2009 were analyzed. Results of histological examinations of both original specimen and biopsies from the J-pouch taken during routine pouch endoscopy were evaluated. Patients' records were analyzed for ulcerative colitis duration, the time from pouch creation to pouch neoplasia, presence of pouchitis, as well as the concurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis. RESULTS Analyzing the original specimen of large bowel, fifty-six lesions of low-grade dysplasia, twenty-five high-grade dysplasia, and five adenocarcinoma were revealed. All patients with dysplasia (n = 8) or adenocarcinoma (n = 1) of the J-pouch were positive for dysplasia in the original specimen. Duration of ulcerative colitis before surgery and duration time following restorative proctocolectomy were found as risk factors for J-pouch neoplasia with a significant difference (p = 0.01 and p = 0.0003, respectively). Patients with pouch neoplasia developed significantly more severe pouchitis (p = 0.00001). CONCLUSIONS Neoplasia of the J-pouch is rare. Patients with neoplasia in the original specimen are more susceptible to develop neoplasia in the J-pouch. Precise follow-up in patients with neoplasia lesions in the original specimen should be recommended. Moreover, in patients with risk factors, the exact surveillance pouch endoscopy should be recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the disease course and management strategy for pouch neoplasia. METHODS Patients undergoing ileal pouch surgery for underlying ulcerative colitis who developed low-grade dysplasia (LGD), high-grade dysplasia, or adenocarcinoma in the pouch were identified. RESULTS All eligible 44 patients were evaluated. Of the 22 patients with initial diagnosis of pouch LGD, 6 (27.3%) had persistence or progression after a median follow-up of 9.5 (4.1-17.6) years. Family history of colorectal cancer was shown to be a risk factor associated with persistence or progression of LGD (P = 0.03). Of the 12 patients with pouch high-grade dysplasia, 5 (41.7%) had a history of (n = 2, 16.7%) or synchronous (n = 4, 33.3%) pouch LGD. Pouch high-grade dysplasia either persisted or progressed in 3 patients (25.0%) after the initial management, during a median time interval of 5.4 (2.2-9.2) years. Of the 14 patients with pouch adenocarcinoma, 12 (85.7%) had a history of (n = 2, 14.3%) or synchronous dysplasia (n = 12, 85.7%). After a median follow-up of 2.1 (0.6-5.2) years, 6 patients with pouch cancer (42.9%) died. Comparison of patients with a final diagnosis of pouch adenocarcinoma (14, 32.6%), and those with dysplasia (29, 67.4%) showed that patients with adenocarcinoma were older (P = 0.04) and had a longer duration from IBD diagnosis or pouch construction to the detection of pouch neoplasia (P = 0.007 and P = 0.0013). CONCLUSIONS The risk for progression of pouch dysplasia can be stratified. The presence of family history of colorectal cancer seemed to increase the risk for persistence or progression for patients with pouch LGD. The prognosis for pouch adenocarcinoma was poor.

Abstract
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis has become the most commonly used procedure for elective treatment of patients with ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. Since its original description, the procedure has been modified in order to obtain optimal functional results with low morbidity and mortality, and yet provide a cure for the disease. In this review of the literature of restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, we discuss these technical modifications, limiting our discussion to the current points of controversy. The current "hot topics" for debate are: indications for ileal pouch-anal or ileo-rectal anastomosis, indications for pouch surgery in the elderly, indeterminate colitis and Crohn's disease, the place of the laparoscopic approach, transanal mucosectomy with hand-sewn anastomosis vs. the double-stapled technique, the use of diverting ileostomy and the issue of the best route for delivery of pregnant women. Longer follow-up of patients and increased knowledge and experience with pouch surgery, coupled with ongoing prospective evaluation of the procedure are required to settle these issues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the procedure of choice for refractory or complicated ulcerative colitis (UC). Since 1990, pouch-related adenocarcinomas have been described. The aim of this study was to review the literature to evaluate the burden of this complication, seeking for risk factors, prevention, and ideal management. METHODS We performed a systematic review of the literature to identify all described pouch-related adenocarcinoma in patients operated on with IPAA for UC. Studies were thoroughly evaluated to select authentic de novo pouch carcinomas. Some authors were contacted for additional information. Data of patients were pooled. Meta-analyses of suitable studies were attempted to identify risk factors. RESULTS Thirty-four articles reported on 49 patients (2:1, male:female) who developed unequivocal pouch-related adenocarcinoma, 14 (28.6%) and 33 (67.3%) arising from the pouch and anorectal mucosa, respectively. Origin was not reported in 2 (4%). Pooled cumulative incidence of pouch-related adenocarcinoma was 0.33% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.31-0.34) 50 years after the diagnosis and 0.35% (95% CI, 0.34-0.36) 20 years after IPAA. Primary pouch cancer incidence was below 0.02% 20 years after IPAA. Neoplasia on colectomy specimen was the strongest risk factor (odds ratio, 8.8; 95% CI, 4.61-16.80). Mucosectomy did not abolish the risk of subsequent cancer but avoiding it increased 8 times the risk of cancer arising from the residual anorectal mucosa (odds ratio, 8; 95% CI, 1.3-48.7; P = 0.02). Surveillance is currently performed yearly starting 10 years since diagnosis, but cancers escaping this pathway are reported. In patients receiving mucosectomy, a 5-year delay for surveillance could be proposed. CONCLUSIONS Pouch-related adenocarcinomas are rare. Diagnosis of Crohn's disease in the long term may further decrease the rates in UC. Presumed evolution from dysplasia might offer a time window for cancer prevention. Abdominoperineal excision should be recommended for pouch-related adenocarcinomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Although restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) substantially reduces the risk of colorectal cancer in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), subsequent pouch neoplasia can develop. There are few data on the incidence of and risk factors for neoplasia, so there is no consensus on the need for pouch surveillance. We aimed to determine the cumulative incidence of pouch neoplasia in patients with IBD and identify risk factors for developing pouch neoplasia. METHODS We searched the Dutch Pathology Registry (PALGA) to identify all patients with IBD and IPAA in The Netherlands from January 1991 to May 2012. We calculated the cumulative incidence of pouch neoplasia and performed a case-control study to identify risk factors. Demographic and clinical variables were analyzed with univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses. RESULTS We identified 1200 patients with IBD and IPAA; 25 (1.83%) developed pouch neoplasia, including 16 adenocarcinomas. Respective cumulative incidences at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years were 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.7%, and 6.9% for pouch neoplasia and 0.6%, 1.4%, 2.1%, and 3.3% for pouch carcinoma. A history of colorectal neoplasia was the only risk factor associated with pouch neoplasia. Hazard ratios were 3.76 (95% confidence interval, 1.39-10.19) for prior dysplasia and 24.69 (95% confidence interval, 9.61-63.42) for prior carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of pouch neoplasia in patients with IBD without a history of colorectal neoplasia is relatively low. Prior dysplasia or colon cancer is associated with an approximate 4- and 25-fold increase in risk, respectively, of developing pouch neoplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consensus on the need for and the interval of surveillance pouchoscopy in asymptomatic ileal pouch patients with underlying ulcerative colitis (UC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the likelihood of finding dysplasia or incidental ileal pouch disorders in asymptomatic patients undergoing surveillance pouchoscopy. METHODS This study included all eligible consecutive asymptomatic UC patients undergoing surveillance pouchoscopy to our subspecialty Pouchitis Clinic from 2002 to 2011. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed. RESULTS A total of 138 patients met the inclusion criteria, with 72 (52.2 %) being male. The mean age at pouch construction was 45.4 ± 15.0 years, and the mean interval from ileostomy closure to the inception of first surveillance pouchoscopy was 89.4 ± 78.8 months. One patient was found to have indefinite for dysplasia on pouch body mucosal biopsy (0.7 %), and two patients had non-caseating granulomas, suggesting Crohn's disease (CD) of the pouch. Of the 138 patients, 69 (50 %) had abnormal endoscopic findings, 102 (73.9 %) had acute and/or chronic inflammation on histology, and 62 (44.9 %) had both abnormal endoscopy and histology. The abnormal endoscopic findings included isolated pouch ulcer (n = 29, 21 %), active pouchitis (n = 31, 22.5 %), inflammatory polyps (n = 10, 7.2 %), strictures at the anastomosis (n = 5, 3.6 %), inlet (n = 10, 7.2 %) or outlet (n = 2, 1.4 %). Thirteen patients (13/17, 76.5 %) with pouch strictures underwent endoscopic balloon dilatation therapy and nine had (9/10, 90 %) endoscopic polypectomy. Multivariable analysis showed that patients with a preoperative diagnosis of CD and concomitant extraintestinal manifestations had a higher risk for abnormal pouch endoscopic findings with odds ratios of 2.552 (95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.108-16.545, p = 0.035) and 4.281 (95 % CI 1.204-5.409, p = 0.014), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Dysplasia was rare in asymptomatic patients with restorative proctocolectomy who underwent surveillance pouchoscopy in this cross-sectional study. However, "incidental" abnormal endoscopic and/or histologic findings were common, which often needed endoscopic therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cuffitis, considered a form of reminiscent ulcerative colitis (UC), is one of the common complications of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and its disease course has not been systematically characterized. The aim was to examine the disease course of cuffitis in a large historical cohort. METHODS All patients with cuffitis diagnosed based on a combined evaluation of symptom and pouch endoscopy at the initial visit to our Pouchitis Clinic were included. Pouch patients with diagnoses other than cuffitis served as controls. Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis were excluded. RESULTS A total of 120 patients with cuffitis were included. The control group consisted of 811 patients (normal pouch, n = 85; irritable pouch syndrome, n = 155; acute pouchitis, n = 170; chronic pouchitis, n = 128; Crohn's disease [CD] of the pouch, n = 185; and surgical complications, n = 88). After a median follow-up of 6 years (interquartile range: 3-10 years) after pouch construction, there were 40 (33.3%) having 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA)/steroid-responsive cuffitis; 22 (18.3%) having 5-ASA/steroid-dependent cuffitis, and 58 (48.4%) developing 5-ASA/steroid-refractory cuffitis. Further investigation of the 58 patients with refractory cuffitis showed that 19 (32.8%) had CD of the pouch and 14 (24.1%) had surgical complications including fistulae and anastomotic sinuses. There were 16 (13.3%) cuffitis patients who developed pouch failure during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Cuffitis may represent a spectrum of diseases. In patients with refractory cuffitis, a diagnosis of CD or surgery-associated anal transitional zone complications should be considered.

Abstract
AIM A recent systematic review indicated that dysplasia present before restorative proctocolectomy is a predictor of subsequent dysplasia in the pouch. This prospective study was carried out to assess the prevalence of dysplasia in the ileal pouch in patients having RPC for ulcerative colitis with co-existing dysplasia in the operation specimen. METHOD Eligible patients were invited for a surveillance endoscopy. The afferent and blind efferent ileal loop, ileoanal pouch and rectal cuff were examined by standard endoscopy using a dye-spray technique with methylene blue. Mucosal abnormalities were biopsied and random biopsies were taken from the afferent and blind ileal loop, pouch and rectal cuff. RESULTS Fourty-four patients (25 male, mean 49 years) underwent pouch endoscopy at a mean interval from RPC of 8.6 years. Dysplasia was detected in two (4.5%) patients. In one, low-grade dysplasia was found in the rectal cuff and in the other low-grade dysplasia was detected in random biopsies from the pouch and the efferent ileal loop. CONCLUSION This prospective pouch-endoscopy study detected dysplasia in < 5% of patients over nearly 10 years. The benefit of routine surveillance for dysplasia in the pouch is uncertain, as the significance of low-grade dysplasia in the pouch is not clear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND "Indefinite for dysplasia" (IND) on pouch mucosal biopsy is occasionally reported during routine histopathological evaluation. The natural history and implication of this histologic entity in ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) has not been studied. AIM The aim of this study is to characterize cumulative probability, natural history, and clinical outcome of pouch IND in a cohort of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS All 932 patients with restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA for IBD were included. Patients with or without IND were classified into the study and control groups. Demographic, clinical, endoscopic, and histologic variables were analyzed. RESULTS The mean duration from IBD diagnosis to colectomy and from pouch construction to data entry was 8.4 ± 8.5 and 9.7 ± 6.2 years, respectively. A total of 2,250 surveillance or diagnostic pouchoscopies with biopsies were performed for the cohort. Twenty-one patients (2.3%) were diagnosed with anal transitional zone and/or pouch IND, for whom subsequent pouchoscopies were performed with the mean procedure number being 3.4 ± 2.2 per patient during a mean of follow-up of 19.3 ± 16.1 months. One patient with IND developed low-grade dysplasia and one had high-grade dysplasia in a separate endoscopy. Cox model showed the presence of primary sclerosing cholangitis was an independent risk factor for pouch IND [hazard ratio = 6.76 (95% CI 2.56-17.88)]. Interobserver agreement (kappa score) for diagnosing pouch IND between GI pathologists ranged from 0.67 to 0.76. CONCLUSIONS Subsequent dysplasia was uncommon in pouch patients with IND. Natural history of pouch IND warrants further long-term investigation.

Abstract
Defensins are small cationic peptides with antibacterial activity expressed in Paneth cells (α-defensins) or generally in intestinal epithelial cells (β-defensins) that have a profound effect on gut microbiota. Chronic pouchitis, which occurs in 5% of patients after restorative proctocolectomy and can cause pouch failure, is associated to a significant increase of Clostridiaceae spp. The aim of this study was to gain further insight in the pathogenesis of pouch dysbiosis by exploring defensin expression. Thirty-two consecutive patients coming for follow-up endoscopy were recruited. On pouch biopsies, we cultured bacteria adherent to the mucosa and determined α- and β-defensins and toll-like receptor-4 and -2 mRNA by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Serum and mucosal levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were measured with immunometric assays. Faecal lactoferrin was analysed by quantitative ELISA. After a median follow-up of 23 (IQR 20-24) months, the patients were contacted for a reassessment of current and past disease activity. During the follow-up, chronic/relapsing pouchitis was diagnosed in six patients. The mucosal level of α-5 and α-6 defensins correlated with chronic/relapsing pouchitis onset (τ = 0.30, p = 0.034 and τ = 0.28, p = 0.053, respectively). High levels of α-5 defensin resulted to be predictive of chronic/relapsing pouchitis [AUC = 74% (95% CI = 53-89%), p = 0.052]. Patients with high levels of α-5 and α-6 defensins had earlier pouchitis relapses (p = 0.009 and p = 0.034, respectively). High levels of α-5 defensin were associated to a significant risk of chronic/relapsing pouchitis [OR = 10.6 (95% CI = 1.2-97.6), p = 0.027]. At multivariate analysis, the mucosal levels of α-5 defensin and the number of CFU of mucosa-associated Clostridiaceae spp resulted to be independent predictors of chronic/relapsing pouchitis [β = 0.46 (0.18), p = 0.024 and β = 0.44 (0.18), p = 0.027, respectively]. In conclusion, chronic/relapsing pouchitis is associated to increased expression of mucosal HD-5 and to increased antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli. In patients with chronic/relapsing pouchitis, HD-5 and TLR-4 over-expression is likely to create a hostile environment against Enterobacteriaceae, thus favouring Clostridiaceae spp by decreasing competing bacteria families.

Abstract
AIM Dysplasia of the pouch mucosa after restorative proctocolectomy is rare. The aim of this study was to establish whether there is a correlation between pouchitis and dysplasia. METHOD A group of 276 patients treated for ulcerative colitis by restorative proctocolectomy between 1984 and 2009 was analysed. The presence or absence of pouchitis and dysplasia within the pouch was evaluated. RESULTS Inflammation was diagnosed in 66 (23.9%) patients, low-grade dysplasia in five (1.8%), high-grade dysplasia in three (1.1%), and cancer in one patient (0.4%). The prevalence of low-grade dysplasia was significantly higher in patients with inflammation than in those without (P < 0.04). High-grade dysplasia was significantly more frequent in pouchitis than in non-inflamed pouches (P < 0.01). Logistic regression analysis suggested that the occurrence of mucosal inflammation increased the risk of low grade dysplasia. CONCLUSION Patients with chronic pouchitis are at risk of dysplasia and require surveillance of the pouch.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Restorative proctocolectomy is considered a surgical treatment of choice in ulcerative colitis (UC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).The aim of the study was to evaluate postoperative complications in patients who underwent surgery for familial adenomatous polyposis and ulcerative colitis, on the basis of a retrospective data analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data of 138 patients after restorative proctocolectomy performed between 1985 and 2008 were collected at routine follow-up visits in 2004-2008. We evaluated the presence of pouchitis, the degree of ileal pouch mucosa atrophy, the presence of ileal pouch mucosal metaplasia, the presence of ileal pouch malignancies, the necessity for diverting ileostomy, the necessity for pouch resection, and severe faecal incontinence. RESULTS Complications were observed in 45 (32.4%) patients. Thirty-seven patients developed pouchitis (26.6%). Low-degree dysplasia, severe dysplasia or malignancies were observed in total in 20 patients (14.4%). Six (4.3%) operated patients developed other analysed complications. CONCLUSIONS The most common complications of restorative proctocolectomy were dysplasia and pouchitis. The most common complication in patients operated for UC was pouchitis. The low observed incidence of intestinal pouchitis may be attributed to the implemented prophylaxis of inflammation. Dysplasia was the most common complication in patients undergoing proctocolectomy for FAP. Due to an increased risk of dysplastic lesions as compared with UC patients, careful endoscopic follow-up examinations are obligatory in this patient group. Other analysed complications were uncommon and were mostly a consequence of chronic pouchitis. Clinical symptoms of pouch-related problems were similar in both analysed groups.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgery is the only curative option in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. Despite advances in the medical management surgery is required in about a third of patients. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT In the acute setting surgery is indicated when medical treatment fails to improve an episode of acute severe colitis. The intervention of choice is a staged colectomy with end ileostomy and preservation of the rectal stump in the first instance. Indications for elective surgery are failure of medical therapy and malignant transformation. The surgical options include conventional proctectomy with ileostomy or a Kock's continent ileostomy and colectomy with an ileorectal anastomosis. The current gold standard is restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Most frequently the technique includes a J pouch with a stapled anastomosis and temporary faecal diversion with a loop ileostomy. Laparoscopic pouch surgery is a feasible and safe option with an excellent cosmetic result. CONCLUSIONS Although the morbidity remains significant after surgery, the quality of life is good with a satisfactory long-term functional outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pouchitis, which can lead to pouch failure, occurs in approximately 5% of patients after restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis (UC). This work examined the interplay between the microbiota adherent to the ileal pouch mucosa and the mucosal immune system in chronic/relapsing pouchitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-two consecutive patients attending our surgical gastroenterological department following restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for UC were considered eligible candidates for this study. Biopsy samples of bacteria adherent to the mucosa were collected. TLR4 and TLR2 mucosal expression was measured by Real Time RT-PCR. Serum and mucosal IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels were assessed using immunometric assays. Fecal lactoferrin concentrations were determined by quantitative ELISA. After a median follow-up of 23 months (IQR 20-24 months) each patient underwent a global assessment of their clinical condition and disease activity status. RESULTS Six patients were diagnosed with relapsing/chronic pouchitis during the follow-up period. Mucosal TLR2 and TLR4 expression was higher in the chronic/relapsing pouchitis group than in the no or only one episode of pouchitis group (P = 0.036 and P = 0.016, respectively). The number of colony forming units (CFU) of mucosa-associated Clostridiaceae spp. was higher in the former than in the latter group (P = 0.031). Clostridiaceae were associated to a significant risk of chronic/relapsing pouchitis [OR: 14 (95% CI 0.887-224.021), P = 0.045]. CONCLUSION Chronic/relapsing pouchitis is associated to higher mucosal TLR2 and TLR4 expression. Mucosal colonization by Clostridiaceae spp seems to play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic/relapsing pouchitis.
