Abstract
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the procedure of choice to maintain intestinal continuity when a total proctocolectomy is a required. It is a technically challenging operation that may be burdened by several nuanced complications both in the immediate postoperative period and in the long term. Most patients with a pouch and any kind of complication will undergo radiological studies, thus multidisciplinary collaboration between surgeons, gastroenterologists, and radiologists is paramount to their timely and accurate diagnosis. When treating pouch patients, radiologists should be familiar with regular pouch anatomy and its appearance in imaging studies, as well as with the most common complications that can occur in this population. In this review, we examine the clinical decision-making process at each step before and after pouch creation, as well as the most common complications associated with pouch surgery, their diagnosis, and their management.

Low-Dose CT Fluoroscopy-Guided Drainage of Deep Pelvic Fluid Collections after Colorectal Cancer Surgery: Technical Success, Clinical Outcome and Safety in 40 Patients. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13040711. [PMID: 36832199 PMCID: PMC9955776 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13040711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the technical (TS) and clinical success (CS) of CT fluoroscopy-guided drainage (CTD) in patients with symptomatic deep pelvic fluid collections following colorectal surgery. METHODS A retrospective analysis (years 2005 to 2020) comprised 43 drain placements in 40 patients undergoing low-dose (10-20 mA tube current) quick-check CTD using a percutaneous transgluteal (n = 39) or transperineal (n = 1) access. TS was defined as sufficient drainage of the fluid collection by ≥50% and the absence of complications according to the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE). CS comprised the marked reduction of elevated laboratory inflammation parameters by ≥50% under minimally invasive combination therapy (i.v. broad-spectrum antibiotics, drainage) within 30 days after intervention and no surgical revision related to the intervention required. RESULTS TS was gained in 93.0%. CS was obtained in 83.3% for C-reactive Protein and in 78.6% for Leukocytes. In five patients (12.5%), a reoperation due to an unfavorable clinical outcome was necessary. Total dose length product (DLP) tended to be lower in the second half of the observation period (median: years 2013 to 2020: 544.0 mGy*cm vs. years 2005 to 2012: 735.5 mGy*cm) and was significantly lower for the CT fluoroscopy part (median: years 2013 to 2020: 47.0 mGy*cm vs. years 2005 to 2012: 85.0 mGy*cm). CONCLUSIONS Given a minor proportion of patients requiring surgical revision due to anastomotic leakage, the CTD of deep pelvic fluid collections is safe and provides an excellent technical and clinical outcome. The reduction of radiation exposition over time can be achieved by both the ongoing development of CT technology and the increased level of interventional radiology (IR) expertise.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obese patients are traditionally considered difficult pouch candidates because of the potential for intraoperative technical difficulty and increased postoperative complications. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of obese versus nonobese patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing an IPAA. DESIGN This is a retrospectively, propensity score-matched, prospectively collected cohort study. SETTING This study was conducted at an IBD quaternary referral center. PATIENTS Patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing IPAA (1990-2018) were included. Obesity was defined as a BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary measures included 30-day complications, long-term anastomotic leak, and pouch failure rate (excision, permanent diversion, revision). RESULTS Of 3300 patients, 631 (19.1%) were obese (median BMI = 32.4 kg/m 2 ). On univariate analysis, obese patients were more likely to be >50 years old (32.5% versus 22.7%, p < 0.001), ASA class 3 (41.7% versus 27.7%, p < 0.001), have diabetes (8.1% versus 3.3%, p < 0.001), and have had surgery in the biologic era (72.4% versus 66.2%, p = 0.003); they were less likely to have received preoperative steroids (31.2% versus 37.4%, p = 0.004). After a median follow-up of 7 years, 66.7% had completed at least 1 quality-of-life survey. Pouch survival in the matched sample was 99.2% (99.8% nonobese versus 95.4% obese, p = 0.002). After matching and controlling for confounding variables, worse clinical outcomes associated with obesity included global quality of life (relative risk, -0.71; p = 0.002) and long-term pouch failure (HR, 4.24; p = 0.007). Obesity was also independently associated with an additional 27 minutes of operating time ( p < 0.001). There was no association of obesity with the likelihood of developing a postoperative complication, length of stay, or pouch leak. CONCLUSION Restorative ileoanal pouch surgery in obese patients with ulcerative colitis is associated with a relatively decreased quality of life and increased risk of long-term pouch failure compared with nonobese patients. Obese patients may benefit from focused counseling about these risks before undergoing restorative pouch surgery. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B873 .

En el análisis univariado, los pacientes obesos tenían más probabilidades de ser > 50 años (32,5% frente a 22,7%, p < 0,001), clase ASA 3 (41,7% frente a 27,7%, p < 0,001), tener diabetes (8,1% frente a 3,3%, p < 0,001), haberse sometido a cirugía en la era biológica (72,4% frente a 66,2%, p = 0,003), y tenían menos probabilidades de haber recibido esteroides preoperatorios (31,2% frente a 37,4%, p = 0,004). Después de una mediana de seguimiento de 7 años, el 66,7% había completado al menos una encuesta de calidad de vida. La supervivencia de la bolsa en la muestra emparejada fue del 99,2% (99,8% no obesos versus 95,4% obesos, p = 0,002). Después de emparejar y controlar las variables de confusión, los peores resultados clínicos asociados con la obesidad incluyeron la calidad de vida global (RR = -0,71, p = 0,002) y el fracaso de la bolsa a largo plazo (HR = 4,24, p = 0,007). La obesidad también se asoció de forma independiente con 27 minutos adicionales de tiempo quirúrgico ( p < 0,001). No hubo asociación de la obesidad con la probabilidad de desarrollar una complicación posoperatoria, la duración de la estadía o la fuga de la bolsa.CONCLUSIÓNES:La cirugía restauradora del reservorio ileoanal en pacientes obesos con colitis ulcerosa se asocia a una disminución relativa de la calidad de vida y un mayor riesgo de falla del reservorio a largo plazo en comparación con los pacientes no obesos. Los pacientes obesos pueden beneficiarse de un asesoramiento centrado en estos riesgos antes de someterse a una cirugía restauradoracon reservorio ileal y anastomosis anal.

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

Abstract
Purpose To determine an accurate method of inspecting low anastomotic leakages and application of transurethral prostate resection instrumentation for treating low rectal anastomotic leakage. Patients and Methods Clinical data of eight patients treated for anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery at Zhangye People’s Hospital (affiliated to Hexi University), from August 2019 to November 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. Transanal prostate resection instrumentation was used to assess the leakage and surrounding conditions. Using prostate resection instrumentation, the presacral and perirectal residual cavities were washed and removed, and indwelling suprapubic presacral, transanal presacral, and rectal drainage tubes were placed. Continuous presacral saline irrigation and drainage and open negative-pressure suction in the rectal cavity were performed until the patients’ fistula healed. Results Of the eight patients with anastomotic leakages, one had grade B and seven had grade C International Study Group of Rectal Cancer anastomotic leakage classifications following Dixon operation. Transanal prostate resection instrumentation showed that the leakage of the one patient with grade B was less than a third of the circumference of the anastomosis. Among the seven patients with grade C, one leakage was less than a third of the anastomotic circumference. One patient had complete separation of the anastomosis and one distal colon necrosis, which necessitated immediate descending colostomy. Conservative treatment was successful in six patients; the conservative overall cure rate was 75%, and the median healing time was 43 (21–68) days. Conclusion Transanal examination of rectal anastomotic leakage using prostate resection instrumentation is comprehensive, easy to perform, provides clear visualization, accurately guides catheter placement, and can be combined with continuous open negative-pressure drainage, which is a safe, convenient, and effective method for treating low rectal leakage.

Abstract
There are special considerations when treating anastomotic leak after restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. The epidemiology, risk factors, anatomic considerations, diagnosis and management, as well as the short- and long-term consequences to the patient are unique to this patent population. Additionally, there are specific concerns such as "tip of the J" leaks, transanal management of anastomotic leak/presacral sinus, functional outcomes after leak, and considerations of redo pouch procedures.

Abstract
Pelvic sepsis is a dreadful complication after ileal pouch creation. It is mostly treated conservatively, and the ileal pouch can be salvaged if sepsis is detected and treated in a timely manner. Even under the best circumstances, pelvic sepsis is often associated with poor functional outcomes. If pelvic sepsis becomes chronic, it could lead to pouch failure. Redo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is a viable option in the setting of chronic pelvic sepsis to preserve gastrointestinal continuity in motivated patients. It is associated with similar surgical morbidity, acceptable functional outcomes, and good quality of life. Patients should be involved in the decision-making process after ileal pouch failure. In the setting of ileal pouch failure, surgeons with limited experience may not be comfortable offering patients redo IPAA. Redo IPAA requires subspecialization and patients with ileal pouch failure should be treated at specialized high-volume centers.

Abstract
Objective This systematic review aims to assess the incidence of pouch failure and the correlation between ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA)-related complications and pouch failure. Background Previous studies demonstrated wide variation in postoperative complication rates following IPAA. Methods A systematic review was performed by searching the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases for studies reporting on pouch failure published from January 1, 2010, to May 6, 2020. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model, and the relationship between pouch-related complications and pouch failure was assessed using Spearman's correlations. Results Thirty studies comprising 22,978 patients were included. Included studies contained heterogenic patient populations, different procedural stages, varying definitions for IPAA-related complications, and different follow-up periods. The pooled pouch failure rate was 7.7% (95% confidence intervals: 5.56-10.59) and 10.3% (95% confidence intervals: 7.24-14.30) for studies with a median follow-up of ≥5 and ≥10 years, respectively. Observed IPAA-related complications were anastomotic leakage (1-17%), pelvic sepsis (2-18%), fistula (1-30%), stricture (1-34%), pouchitis (11-61%), and Crohn's disease of the pouch (0-18%). Pelvic sepsis (r = 0.51, P < 0.05) and fistula (r = 0.63, P < 0.01) were correlated with pouch failure. A sensitivity analysis including studies with a median follow-up of ≥5 years indicated that only fistula was significantly correlated with pouch failure (r = 0.77, P < 0.01). Conclusions The single long-term determinant of pouch failure was pouch fistula, which is a manifestation of a chronic leak. Therefore, all effort should be taken to prevent an acute leak from becoming a chronic leak by early diagnosis and proactive management of the leak. Mini abstract This systematic review aims to assess the incidence of pouch failure and the correlation between IPAA-related complications and pouch failure. Long-term pouch failure was correlated with fistula, suggesting that early septic complications may result in fistula formation during long-term follow-up, leading to an increased risk of pouch failure.

[PMID: 33826024 DOI: 10.1007/s10151-021-02437-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2020] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileal J-pouch anal anastomosis (J-IPAA) is the standard approach for patients requiring restorative proctocolectomy due to familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or ulcerative colitis (UC). To obviate the risk of a J-tip leak, we modified the J-pouch with a D-pouch anal anastomosis (D-IPAA) designed to eliminate the ileal stump. The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and medium-term functional outcomes of D-IPAA. METHODS A retrospective comparison was made between D-IPAA and J-IPAA constructions after a restorative proctocolectomy. Clinical data were collated between October 2014-March 2018 recording operation duration, pouch construction time, pouch volume, intraoperative estimated blood loss, complication rates, readmissions and cumulative length of hospitalization. Continence was assessed at the final visit with the Wexner Cleveland Clinic Score along with the Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQL) scale. RESULTS A total of 97 patients with FAP (n = 28) and UC (n = 69) who had J-IPAA (n = 54) or D-IPAA (n = 43) after proctocolectomy were identified. Patients were well matched with no differences noted in the intraoperative variables between the J- and D-pouch groups. The D-pouch construction time was shorter than that for a standard J-pouch. There was no difference in major or minor complications between groups. A pouch leak developed in each group: a cutaneous fistula from J tip leak in the J-IPAA group and a pouch-vaginal fistula from the IPAA the D-IPAA group. Clinical outcomes (the number of bowel movements) were equivalent in the two groups with the Wexner score significantly improving within each group up to 2.5 years and with improvement in the CGQL after surgery. CONCLUSIONS The D-pouch construction is safe and feasible for patients with UC and FAP with good functional outcome over the medium term and the potential to reduce the risk of pouch leaks.

Assessment of the Clinical Usefulness of Preoperative Computed Tomography in Colorectal Cancer Patients Who Received Unplanned Reoperation. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2020; 2020:6062414. [PMID: 32676105 PMCID: PMC7336223 DOI: 10.1155/2020/6062414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2020] [Revised: 05/31/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In the unplanned reoperation of colorectal cancer patients, computed tomography (CT) is increasingly utilized to locate postoperative complications and previously unlocalized lesions. The purpose of this study is to explore the application of CT in the mortality and complications of the reoperation of colorectal cancer. Patients and Methods. We performed a retrospective review of collected data from the colorectal surgeries of 90 identified colorectal cancer patients who received an unplanned reoperation from 2010 to 2018. Patients were stratified according to those with preoperative CT imaging (CT group, n = 36) and those without preoperative CT imaging (NCT group, n = 54). Twenty-four statistical indicators of each patient were studied, including their preoperative risk, surgical characteristics, and postoperative outcomes, and satisfaction was evaluated. All data were statistically analysed for predicting postoperative complications by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results Ninety patients received an unplanned reoperation in the study, and 40% (36/90) of these patients underwent preoperative CT examination. Patients' risk factors were similar between CT and NCT groups. Preoperative imaging was more commonly performed for reoperative new anastomosis + ileostomy but less common for reoperative Dixon's procedure. The operative duration of the NCT group was longer (139 vs. 104 min, respectively, P = 0.01). Preoperative NCT examination (OR 1.24; 95% CI = 1.09-1.42; P = 0.01) was an independent predictor of postoperative complications. Importantly, three patients died after an unplanned reoperation for colorectal cancer, which occurred only in the NCT group (5.6% vs. 0.0%, P = 0.01). Conclusion The use of conventional preoperative CT optimizes the choice of the surgical site and the strategy of laparotomy, so as to reduce the length of operation. Preoperative imaging evaluation should be performed for patients undergoing repeat abdominal surgery.

Minimally invasive approaches to the management of anastomotic leakage following restorative rectal cancer resection. Colorectal Dis 2019; 21:1364-1371. [PMID: 31254432 DOI: 10.1111/codi.14742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2018] [Accepted: 05/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
AIM Management of anastomotic leakage (AL) following rectal resection has evolved with increasing use of less invasive techniques. The aim of this study was to review the management of AL following restorative rectal cancer resection in a tertiary referral centre. METHOD A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database was performed. The primary outcome was successful management of AL. The secondary outcome was the impact of AL on oncological outcome. RESULTS Five hundred and two restorative rectal cancer resections were performed during the study period. The incidence of AL was 9.9% (n = 50). AL occurred more commonly following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (n = 31/252, 12.3%) than in those who did not receive neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (n = 19/250, 7.6%; P = 0.107); however, this was not statistically significant. Successful minimally invasive drainage was achieved in 28 patients (56%, radiological n = 24, surgical n = 4). Trans-rectal drainage was the most common drainage method (n = 14). The median duration of drainage was longer in the neoadjuvant group (27 vs 18 days). Surgical intervention was required in 11 patients, with anastomotic takedown and end-colostomy formation was most commonly required. Successful management of AL with drainage (maintenance of the anastomosis without the need for further intervention) was achieved in 26 of the 28 patients. There were no significant differences in overall or disease-free survival when patients with AL were compared with patients without AL (69.4% vs 72.6%, P = 0.99 and 78.7% vs 71.3%, P = 0.45, respectively). CONCLUSION In selected patients, AL following restorative rectal resection can be effectively controlled using minimally invasive radiological or surgical drainage without the need for further intervention.

Risk of post-operative surgical site infections after vedolizumab vs anti-tumour necrosis factor therapy: a propensity score matching analysis in inflammatory bowel disease. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2018; 48:340-346.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative vedolizumab (VDZ) and anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNFi) therapies are implicated in causing post-operative complications in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). AIM To compare the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) between VDZ- and TNFi-treated IBD patients in propensity-matched cohorts. METHODS The Optum Research Database was used to identify IBD patients who received VDZ or TNFi within 30 days prior to abdominal surgery between January 2015 and December 2016. The date of IBD-related abdominal surgery was defined as the index date. SSIs were determined by ICD-9/10 and CPT codes related to superficial wound infections or deep organ space infections after surgery. Propensity score 1:1 matching established comparable cohorts based on VDZ or TNFi exposure before surgery based on evidence-based risk modifiers. RESULTS The propensity-matched sample included 186 patients who received pre-operative biologic therapy (VDZ, n = 94; TNFi, n = 92). VDZ and TNFi cohorts were similar based on age, gender, IBD type, concomitant immunomodulator exposure, chronic opioid or corticosteroid therapy, Charlson Comorbidity Index and malnutrition. VDZ patients were more likely to undergo an open bowel resection with ostomy. After propensity score matching, there was no significant difference in post-operative SSIs (TNFi 12.0% vs VDZ 14.9%, P = 0.56). Multivariable analysis indicated that malnutrition was the sole risk factor for developing SSI (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.11-8.71) regardless of the type of biologic exposure. CONCLUSION In the largest, risk-adjusted cohort analysis to date, perioperative exposure to VDZ therapy was not associated with a significantly higher risk of developing an SSI compared to TNFi therapy.

Abstract
AIM It is well established that ileo-anal pouch-related septic complications (PRSC) increase the risk of pouch failure. There are a number of publications that describe the management of early PRSC in ulcerative colitis (UC) in small series. This article aims to systematically review and summarize the relevant current data on this subject and provide an algorithm for the management of early PRSC. METHOD A systematic review was undertaken in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Studies published between 2000 and 2017 describing the clinical management of PRSC in patients with UC within 30 days of primary ileo-anal pouch surgery were included. A qualitative analysis was undertaken due to the heterogeneity and quality of studies included. RESULTS A total of 1157 abstracts and 266 full text articles were screened. Twelve studies were included for analysis involving a total of 207 patients. The studies described a range of techniques including image-guided, endoscopic, surgical and endocavitational vacuum methods. Based on the evidence from these studies, an algorithm was created to guide the management of early PRSC. CONCLUSION The results of this review suggest that although successful salvage of early PRSC is improving there is little information available relating to methods of salvage and outcomes. Novel techniques may offer an increased chance of salvage but comparative studies with longer follow-up are required.

Abstract
The development and refinement of proctectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) since its introduction in the 1970s has made it the optimal procedure of choice in patients with chronic ulcerative colitis and patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. However, it is a procedure that can be associated with significant morbidity. Pouch failure due to infection, mechanical, or functional disability represents a challenge to both surgeon and patient. Practicing surgeons who deal with revisional pouch surgery face a variety of intraoperative, postoperative, and reoperative challenges. Success requires a strategy that includes critical planning, preparation, specialized surgical techniques, and experience to achieve long-term success, minimize the adverse consequences of IPAA-related complications, and ensure solutions and hope to patients.

Abstract
Anastomotic leak continues to be a dreaded complication after colorectal surgery, especially in the low colorectal or coloanal anastomosis. However, there has been no consensus on the management of the low colorectal anastomotic leak. Currently operative procedures are reserved for patients with frank purulent or feculent peritonitis and unstable vital signs, and vary from simple fecal diversion with drainage to resection of the anastomosis and closure of the rectal stump with end colostomy (Hartmann’s procedure). However, if the patient is stable, and the leak is identified days or even weeks postoperatively, less aggressive therapeutic measures may result in healing of the leak and salvage of the anastomosis. Advances in diagnosis and treatment of pelvic collections with percutaneous treatments, and newer methods of endoscopic therapies for the acutely leaking anastomosis, such as use of the endosponge, stents or clips, have greatly reduced the need for surgical intervention in selected cases. Diverting ileostomy, if not already in place, may be considered to reduce fecal contamination. For subclinical leaks or those that persist after the initial surgery, endoluminal approaches such as injection of fibrin sealant, use of endoscopic clips, or transanal closure of the very low anastomosis may be utilized. These newer techniques have variable success rates and must be individualized to the patient, with the goal of treatment being restoration of gastrointestinal continuity and healing of the anastomosis. A review of the treatment of low colorectal anastomotic leaks is presented.

Abstract
After colorectal and anorectal interventions for chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, specific complications can occur.In Crohn's disease these complications mainly occur after proctocolectomy. Pelvic sepsis can be prevented by omentoplasty with fixation inside the pelvis. A persisting sepsis of the sacral cavity can be treated primarily by dissection of the anal sphincter which ensures better drainage. In cases of chronic sacral sepsis, transposition of the gracilis muscle is a further effective option. Early recurrence of a transsphincteric anal fistula should be treated by reinsertion of a silicon seton drainage.Complications after restorative proctocolectomy are frequent and manifold (35%). The main acute complications are anastomotic leakage and pelvic sepsis. Therapy consists of transperineal drainage of the abscess with simultaneous transanal drainage. Late complications due to technical and septic reasons are still a relevant problem even 36 years after introduction of this operative technique. A consistent approach with detailed diagnostic and surgical therapy results in a 75% rescue rate of ileoanal pouches.

Abstract
The management of patients with IBD requires evaluation with objective tools, both at the time of diagnosis and throughout the course of the disease, to determine the location, extension, activity and severity of inflammatory lesions, as well as, the potential existence of complications. Whereas endoscopy is a well-established and uniformly performed diagnostic examination, the implementation of radiologic techniques for assessment of IBD is still heterogeneous; variations in technical aspects and the degrees of experience and preferences exist across countries in Europe. ECCO and ESGAR scientific societies jointly elaborated a consensus to establish standards for imaging in IBD using magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, ultrasonography, and including also other radiologic procedures such as conventional radiology or nuclear medicine examinations for different clinical situations that include general principles, upper GI tract, colon and rectum, perineum, liver and biliary tract, emergency situation, and the postoperative setting. The statements and general recommendations of this consensus are based on the highest level of evidence available, but significant gaps remain in certain areas such as the comparison of diagnostic accuracy between different techniques, the value for therapeutic monitoring, and the prognostic implications of particular findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to identify rates and factors associated with permanent diversion following restorative proctosigmoidectomy for rectal cancer when complicated by an anastomotic leak. DESIGN This study is a retrospective review. SETTING The setting of this study is a tertiary referral hospital PATIENTS Patients involved in this study were those who underwent restorative rectal cancer surgery from 1997 through 2008 identified from an institutional cancer database. INTERVENTIONS No interventions were performed in this study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Factors associated with time to ostomy closure and rates of permanent diversion following anastomotic leaks RESULTS One hundred and thirty patients (mean age 59.7 years) were identified, 111 (85%) of whom had stoma diversion at the index surgery. Asymptomatic occult radiological leaks occurred in 52 patients (40%). Seventy-eight patients (60%) underwent ultimate ostomy closure at a median time of 6.3 months after the index surgery, which was not significantly affected by previous radiotherapy (p = 0.08). Twelve patients (9%) underwent anastomotic reconstruction. Pathologic stage II or greater (OR 4.42; 1.95-10.04), symptomatic presentation (OR 4.13; 1.86-9.19) and anastomotic disruption >5 mm (OR 4.42; 2.01-9.74) were independently associated with permanent diversion. Among all survivors, 33% did not have their ostomy reversed. Stoma diversion constructed after leak detection in 19 patients (15%) did not affect permanent stoma rate (OR 0.86; 0.31-2.34) or time to stoma closure (p = 0.29). CONCLUSIONS The majority of anastomotic leaks after restorative rectal cancer surgery can be salvaged without anastomotic reconstruction. However, in one third of the patients, an anastomotic leak results in a permanent stoma.
