Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative fluorescence angiography (FA) is of potential added value during ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), especially after vascular ligation as part of lengthening measures. In this study, time to fluorescent enhancement during FA was evaluated in patients with or without vascular ligation during IPAA. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of all consecutive patients that underwent FA-guided IPAA between August 2018 and December 2019 in our tertiary referral centre. Vascular ligation was defined as disruption of the ileocolic arcade or ligation of interconnecting terminal ileal branches. FA was performed before and after ileoanal anastomotic reconstruction. During FA, time to fluorescent enhancement was recorded at different sites of the pouch. RESULTS Thirty-eight patients [55.3% male, median age 45 years (IQR 24-51 years)] were included, of whom the majority (89.5%) underwent a modified-2-stage restorative proctocolectomy. Vascular ligation was performed in 15 patients (39.5%), and concerned central ligation of the ileocolic arcade in 3 cases, interconnecting branches in 10, and a combination in 2. For the entire cohort, time between indocyanine green (ICG) injection and first fluorescent signal in the pouch was 20 s (IQR 15-31 s) before and 25 s (IQR 20-36 s) after anal anastomotic reconstruction. Time from ICG injection to the first fluorescent signal at the inlet, anvil and blind loop of the pouch were non-significantly prolonged in patients that received vascular ligation. CONCLUSIONS Results from this study indicate that time to fluorescence enhancement during FA might be prolonged due to arterial rerouting through the arcade or venous outflow obstruction in case of vascular ligation.

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
The transanal approach is a new and exciting addition to the surgeons' repertoire to deal with complications after colorectal surgery. Improved exposure, accessibility, and visibility greatly facilitate adequate dissection of the affected area with potential increase in effectiveness and reduced morbidity. An essential component in salvaging anastomotic leaks of low colorectal, coloanal, or ileoanal anastomoses is early diagnosis and early treatment, especially when starting with endoscopic vacuum therapy, followed by early surgical closure (endoscopic vacuum-assisted surgical closure). Redo surgery using a transanal minimally invasive surgery platform for chronic leaks after total mesorectal excision surgery or surgical causes of pouch failure successfully mitigates limited visibility and exposure by using a bottom-up approach.

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.

What have we learned? A retrospective analysis on 75 consecutive cases at a tertiary referral hospital. Colorectal Dis 2021; 23:74-83.

Abstract
AIM Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) should be delayed to a second stage in patients with ulcerative colitis and prolonged exposure to medical therapy. However, there is still discussion about whether a modified two-stage approach is preferable to a three-stage approach. Recently, a transanal approach has been introduced to overcome the well-known difficulties of laparoscopic pelvic surgery. This paper presents short-term outcomes of transanal IPAA (Ta-IPAA) according to a modified two-stage approach. METHODS Data from all patients who underwent a modified two-stage Ta-IPAA for ulcerative colitis refractory to medical therapy were retrieved retrospectively from a prospective database. A comprehensive complication index was used for 90-day postoperative complications. Conversion, duration of surgery, hospital stay and reoperation were considered. A logistic regression model was used to assess risk factors for peri-pouch sepsis. RESULTS Seventy-five (68.8%) patients were identified from 109 consecutive IPAAs. Median operation time was 159 min. Conversion rate was 4%. Mean comprehensive complication index was 7. All anastomotic leaks (10.6%) were treated with diverting ileostomy. Additionally, active rescue with transanal drainage and early resuturing of the anastomotic gap was performed in six patients. Ileostomy closure occurred after a median period of 5.4 months. At univariable analysis, factors associated with peri-pouch sepsis were male gender and age at IPAA construction. CONCLUSIONS A modified two-stage Ta-IPAA is safe and feasible. Standardization and reproducibility of the technique are reflected in few conversions and intra-operative complications. Finally, morbidity and anastomotic leak do not differ from those reported in previous Ta-IPAA series with a variable proportion of multistage procedures.

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
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endo-sponge [Braun Medical] assisted early surgical closure [ESC] is an effective treatment to control pelvic sepsis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis [IPAA] leakage, and became standard treatment in our centre from 2010 onwards. The aim of this cohort study was to assess the long-term pouch function of ulcerative colitis [UC] patients treated with ESC or conventional management [CM] for anastomotic leakage after IPAA. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent an IPAA for UC between 2002 and 2017 were included. Patients treated with ESC [2010-2017] or CM [2002-2009] for anastomotic leakage were compared with control patients without anastomotic leakage of the corresponding time period. Main endpoints were long-term pouch function on a 3-point scale and pouch failure, as measured with the validated pouch dysfunction score questionnaire. RESULTS Some 280 of 334 patients [84%] returned the pouch dysfunction questionnaire, of whom 18 were treated with ESC and 22 with CM for anastomotic leakage. Control cohorts included 133 [2010-2017] and 107 patients [2002-2009]. Between ESC-treated patients and control patients, pouch function [p = 0.647] and pouch failure rates [0/18 versus 5/133, p >0.99] were similar. CM resulted in worse pouch function [p = 0.016] and a higher pouch failure rate [5/22 versus 5/107, p = 0.013] compared with control patients. CONCLUSIONS ESC, in contrast to CM, for IPAA leakage in UC patients is associated with preservation of pouch function and preclusion of pouch failure, probably due to early and effective treatment of pelvic sepsis.
