Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis occurs in up to 80% of patients after total proctocolectomy (TPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and has been associated with microbial and host-related immunological factors. We hypothesized that a more robust immune response at the time of colectomy, manifested by acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC), may be associated with subsequent acute pouchitis. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort analysis of all patients with UC or indeterminate colitis complicated by medically refractory disease or dysplasia who underwent TPC with IPAA at Mount Sinai Hospital between 2008 and 2017 and at least 1 subsequent pouchoscopy. Acute pouchitis was defined according to the Pouchitis Disease Activity Index. Cox regression was used to assess unadjusted relationships between hypothesized risk factors and acute pouchitis. RESULTS A total of 416 patients met inclusion criteria. Of the 165 (39.7%) patients who underwent urgent colectomy, 77 (46.7%) were admitted with ASUC. Acute pouchitis occurred in 228 (54.8%) patients a median of 1.3 (interquartile range, 0.6-3.1) years after the final surgical stage. On multivariable analysis, ASUC (hazard ratio [HR], 1.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-2.17) and a greater number of biologics precolectomy (HR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.06-2.31) were associated with an increased probability of acute pouchitis, while older age at colectomy (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97-0.99) was associated with a decreased probability. Time to pouchitis was significantly less in patients admitted with ASUC compared with those not (P = .002). CONCLUSION A severe UC disease phenotype at the time of colectomy was associated with an increased probability of acute pouchitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis are sometimes treated with prophylactic or therapeutic proctocolectomy to either prevent or treat the almost inevitable colorectal cancer that develops in the numerous, early onset tubular adenomas to which they are prone. These patients are potential candidates for a restorative IPAA. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to highlight the particular nuances of ileal pouch-anal surgery faced by patients with familial adenomatous polyposis and point out the implications of the syndrome for patients who are candidates for an IPAA and the surgeons operating on them. STUDY SELECTION A literature search was performed on PubMed and MEDLINE using the terms "ulcerative colitis," "familial adenomatous polyposis," "surgery," and "ileal pouch-anal anastomosis." CONCLUSIONS As a result of a fundamental difference in pathophysiology, there are significant differences in demographics, presentation, surgical strategy, and sequelae of proctocolectomy and IPAA between familial adenomatous polyposis and ulcerative colitis. Proctocolectomy with IPAA in selected familial adenomatous polyposis patients can be performed in 1 stage, but their lack of symptoms means that any complications assume a greater significance. In polyposis patients, postoperative endoscopic surveillance of residual large intestine begins immediately, whereas surveillance of the pouch itself becomes increasingly important. Symptoms leading to a diagnosis of pouchitis are instead often due to structural and functional issues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis is the common postoperative complication of ulcerative colitis (UC) and is also considered as inflammatory bowel disease. The aim was to investigate the microbiological and transcriptional differences between the two illnesses. METHODS Eighty-five participants were enrolled (37 UC, 15 healthy UC pouches, 15 pouchitis and 18 healthy volunteers) and stool samples were collected. Microbial populations were analyzed by pyrosequencing of 16S ribosomal DNA. Furthermore, transcriptome data of 119 UC and 28 pouch patients were obtained from two data sets for bioinformatics analysis. RESULTS The results of gut microbiota community analysis showed that with aggravation of UC, intestinal microorganisms were characterized by a gradual decreased in diversity and numbers of butyrate-producing bacteria and Bacteroides. Besides, in addition to the decrease of probiotics, the proliferation of Escherichia-Shigella and Ruminococcus gnavus was observed in pouchitis which is related to multiple infection pathways. The function enrichment of differential expression genes and hub genes, as well as the immunological condition was shown to be distinct using transcriptome bioinformatics analysis between UC and pouchitis. A stronger immune response occurs in UC and may be associated with high expression of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin, while multiple hub genes such as CDK1 in pouchitis are associated with cell cycle regulation. CONCLUSIONS The characteristics of gut microbiota disturbance and transcriptome alteration in UC and pouchitis are different. Our findings suggested that pouchitis may have a unique pathogenesis which was separated from UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonspecific acute pouchitis is common in patients with ulcerative colitis who undergo IPAA, but there is disagreement about the rate at which this occurs in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to define the rate at which nonspecific acute pouchitis occurs in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. SETTING This study was conducted at a hereditary colorectal cancer center in a large academic medical center. DESIGN This is a retrospective cohort study using prospectively gathered data. PATIENTS Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who have had IPAA were included. INTERVENTIONS Symptoms, pouchoscopy and pouch radiography, and pouch biopsy were evaluated. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes measured were the presence of nonspecific acute pouchitis and the alternative diagnosis of pouch dysfunction. RESULTS There were 250 patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who had undergone IPAA; 38 (15.2%) had been labeled as having "pouchitis": 23 men and 15 women. Median age was 55 years (range, 18-90 years). No patient had nonspecific, acute pouchitis as defined by our criteria. In 9 cases, the diagnosis was derived from benign ulcers common in ileal pouches. Stool frequency was the most common symptom associated with the "pouchitis" label, but actual causes for the frequency included poor pouch emptying, poor eating habits, poor bowel habits, and afferent limb syndrome. Median stool frequency was 9, ranging from 4 to 15 per day. Every patient had at least 1 pouch endoscopy, and the median number was 19 per patient (range, 1-21). Nine patients had pouch biopsies to rule out inflammation; all showed chronic active enteritis, a normal finding in ileal pouches. LIMITATIONS This study was limited by its retrospective nature. CONCLUSIONS We could not confirm any case of nonspecific acute pouchitis in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. Those caring for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who have a pouch should seek causes for pouch-related symptoms other than "pouchitis."

En 9 casos el diagnóstico se derivó de úlceras benignas frecuentes en bolsas ileales. La frecuencia de las evacuaciones fue el síntoma más común asociado con la etiqueta "pouchitis", pero las causas reales de la frecuencia, incluyeron un mal vaciado de la bolsa, malos hábitos alimenticios, malos hábitos intestinales y síndrome de asa aferente. La frecuencia media de las evacuaciones fue de 9, con un rango de 4 a 15 por día. A cada paciente se le realizó al menos una endoscopia de la bolsa: la mediana fue de 19 por paciente (rango de 1 a 21). A 9 pacientes se les realizó biopsia de bolsa para descartar inflamación: todos mostraron enteritis activa crónica, un hallazgo normal en las bolsas ileales.LIMITACIONES:Naturaleza retrospectiva del estudio.CONCLUSIONES:No pudimos confirmar ningún caso de pouchitis aguda e inespecífica en pacientes con PAF. Aquellos que atienden a pacientes con PAF con bolsa ileal, deben buscar otras causas para los síntomas relacionados con la bolsa que no sean "pouchitis".

Abstract
Restorative proctocolectomy, or ileal pouch anal anastomosis, is considered the standard treatment for intractable ulcerative colitis. When the pelvic pouch was first introduced in 1978, a two-stage procedure with proctocolectomy, construction of the pelvic pouch, and a diverting loop with subsequent closure were suggested. Over the decades that the pelvic pouch has been around, some principal technical issues have been addressed to improve the method. In more recent days the laparoscopic approach has been additionally introduced. During the same time-period the medical arsenal has developed far more with the increasing use of immune modulators and the introduction of biologicals. Staging of restorative proctocolectomy with a pelvic pouch refers to how many sessions, or stages, the procedure should be divided into. The main goal with restorative proctocolectomy is a safe operation with optimal short- and long-term function. In this paper we aim to review the present knowledge and views on staging of the pouch procedure in ulcerative colitis, especially with consideration to the treatment with biologicals.

Abstract
AIM Pouchitis is a clinically significant complication of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis with its prevalence varying in the literature. Pouchitis is thought to occur more commonly in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) than in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis of all published literature to report the prevalence of pouchitis in all pouch patients as well as specifically in UC and FAP. We also investigated the prevalence of acute and chronic pouchitis in UC and FAP. METHODS A meta-analysis was conducted by searching the Embase, Embase Classic and PubMed databases between 1978 and 2021 exploring the prevalence of pouchitis in UC and FAP. We then performed a random effects model in order to find the pooled prevalence of pouchitis and used odds ratios to report differences in the prevalence of pouchitis in UC and FAP. RESULTS Fifty-nine full papers and conference abstracts were included in the meta-analysis comprising 18 117 patients with UC and 860 with FAP. The prevalence of pouchitis in UC was 0.32 (95% CI 0.27-0.37) and in FAP was found to be 0.06 (95% CI 0.03-0.15). The odds ratio of pouchitis in UC patients compared with FAP patients was 4.95 (95% CI 3.17-7.72, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Our findings support the consensus that the prevalence of pouchitis is higher in UC than in FAP. More significantly our findings suggest that the true prevalence of pouchitis is higher than commonly reported in the literature. This literature may help counsel patients prior to undergoing restorative proctocolectomy.

Abstract
Surgeons universally dread gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks, yet the precise definition is not widely agreed on despite international consensus guidelines. Likewise, leaks are not uniformly reported which makes comparisons across studies flawed. Leak rates range from 1 to 3% for ileocolonic, 0.5 to 18% for colorectal, and 5 to 19% for coloanal anastomoses. The sequelae of an anastomotic leak vary but generally correlate with the need for a change in clinical management, from minimal changes to the need for reoperation. Short- and long-term outcomes can be life-altering or life-threatening. Temporary or permanent stomas may be necessary and low pelvic anastomotic leaks may affect bowel function. For cancer patients, leaks can delay treatment and negatively affect oncologic outcomes. In Crohn's patients, leaks are associated with higher recurrence rates. In essence, the lack of agreement on the definition of an anastomotic leak inhibits meaningful understand of its epidemiology, prevention, and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adenomatous polyposis syndromes (APS) patients with ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) suffer frequent symptoms with scarce signs of inflammation, distinct from ulcerative colitis patients. While the management of pouchitis in ulcerative colitis patients is well established, data regarding response to treatment modalities targeting pouch-related disorders in APS patient population is scarce.
AIM To assess clinical, endoscopic and histologic response to various treatment modalities employed in the therapy of pouch related disorders.
METHODS APS patients who underwent IPAA between 1987-2019 were followed every 6-12 mo and pouch-related symptoms were recorded at every visit. Lower endoscopy was performed annually, recording features of the pouch, cuff and terminal ileum. A dedicated gastrointestinal pathologist reviewed biopsies for signs and severity of inflammation. At current study, files were retrospectively reviewed for initiation and response to various treatment modalities between 2015-2019. Therapies included dietary modifications, probiotics, loperamide, antibiotics, bismuth subsalicylate, mebeverine hydrochloride, 5-aminosalicylic acid compounds and topical rectal steroids. Symptoms and endoscopic and histologic signs of inflammation before and after treatment were assessed. Pouchitis disease activity index (PDAI) and its subscores was calculated. Change of variables before and after therapy was assessed using Wilcoxon signed rank test for continuous variables and using McNemar's test for categorical variables.
RESULTS Thirty-three APS patients after IPAA were identified. Before treatment, 16 patients (48.4%) suffered from abdominal pain and 3 (9.1%) from bloody stools. Mean number of daily bowel movement was 10.3. Only 4 patients (12.1%) had a PDAI ≥ 7. Mean baseline PDAI was 2.5 ± 2.3. Overall, intervention was associated with symptomatic relief, mainly decreasing abdominal pain (from 48.4% to 27.2% of patients, P = 0.016). Daily bowel movements decreased from a mean of 10.3 to 9.3 (P = 0.003). Mean overall and clinical PDAI scores decreased from 2.58 to 1.94 (P = 0.016) and from 1.3 to 0.87 (P = 0.004), respectively. Analyzing each treatment modality separately, we observed that dietary modifications decreased abdominal pain (from 41.9% of patients to 19.35%, P = 0.016), daily bowel movements (from 10.5 to 9.3, P = 0.003), overall PDAI (from 2.46 to 2.03, P = 0.04) and clinical PDAI (1.33 to 0.86, P = 0.004). Probiotics effectively decreased daily bowel movements (from 10.2 to 8.8, P = 0.007), overall and clinical PDAI (from 2.9 to 2.1 and from 1.38 to 0.8, P = 0.032 and 0.01, respectively). While other therapies had minimal or no effects. No significant changes in endoscopic or histologic scores were seen with any therapy.
CONCLUSION APS patients benefit from dietary modifications and probiotics that improve their pouch-related symptoms but respond minimally to anti-inflammatory and antibiotic treatments. These results suggest a functional rather than inflammatory disorder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In ulcerative colitis, a pouchitis is the most common long-term adverse effect after proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Approximately 5% of patients develop chronic antibiotic-dependent or antibiotic-refractory pouchitis without any effective treatment. The aim of this trial was to investigate the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation in the treatment of chronic pouchitis. METHODS This was a single-center, double-blinded, parallel group trial comparing donor fecal microbiota transplantation with placebo (autologous transplant) in chronic pouchitis. Twenty-six patients were recruited at the Helsinki University Hospital between December 2017 and August 2018 and were randomly allocated a 1:1 ratio to either donor fecal microbiota transplantation or placebo. The protocol included 2 transplantations into the pouch on weeks 0 and 4, and patients were followed up for 52 weeks. RESULTS Nine patients in the intervention group and 8 patients in the placebo group relapsed during the 52-week follow-up, and the relapse-free survival did not differ between the groups (P = 0.183, log-rank; hazard ratio, 1.90 [95% confidence interval, 0.73-4.98; P = 0.190]). In the subgroup analysis of patients using continuous antibiotics before the study, the relapse-free survival was shorter in the intervention group (P = 0.004, log-rank; hazard ratio, 13.08 [95% confidence interval, 1.47-116.60; P = 0.021]). No major adverse effects were reported. CONCLUSIONS The fecal microbiota transplantation treatment regime used in our study was not effective in the treatment of chronic pouchitis. The safety profile of fecal microbiota transplantation was good. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV IDENTIFIER NCT03378921.

Abstract
AIM Anastomotic leak causes significant morbidity for patients undergoing pelvic intestinal surgery. Fluoroscopic assessment of anastomotic integrity using water-soluble contrast enema (WSCE) is of questionable benefit over examination alone. We hypothesized that MRI-enema may be more accurate. The aim of this study was to compare MRI-enema with fluoroscopic WSCE. METHOD Patients referred for WSCE with pelvic intestinal anastomosis and defunctioning ileostomy (including patients with suspected or known leaks) were invited to participate. WSCE and MRI-enema were undertaken within 48 h of each other. MRI sequences were performed before, during and immediately after the introduction of 400 ml of 1% gadolinium contrast solution per anus. MRI examinations were reported to protocol by two blinded gastrointestinal radiologists. A Likert-scale patient questionnaire was administered to compare patient experience. Follow-up was >12 months after ileostomy reversal. Anastomotic leak was determined by unblinded consensus of examination and radiological findings. RESULTS Sixteen patients were recruited, with a median age of 39 years (range 22-69). Ten were men, 11 had ileoanal pouch formation and five had low anterior resection. Five patients had anastomotic leak identified by MRI and four by WSCE. The radial location of the anastomotic defect was identified in all five patients by MRI versus two on WSCE. MRI revealed additional information including contents of a widened presacral space. Patient experience was equivalent. Eleven patients eventually had ileostomy reversal without complications. CONCLUSION MRI-enema is a feasible and tolerable alternative to WSCE and offers greater anatomical detail in the context of pelvic intestinal anastomotic leak. Larger prospective studies are required to define its potential role in the UK National Health Service.

Abstract
PURPOSE restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the surgical procedure of choice in some cases of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and ulcerative colitis (UC). IPAA allows complete removal of the diseased colon and rectum, however, it is associated with substantial morbidity and potential consequences to patients' quality of life (QoL). AIMS to evaluate the surgical results, functional outcomes and QoL after IPAA; and to examine the impact of surgical complications upon QoL. METHODS we reviewed the records of 55 patients after IPAA, with emphasis on surgical outcomes. Forty patients answered the questionnaires. The Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQL), Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), and Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF36). RESULTS the average age was 42.1±14.1 years. 63.6% of the patients were male, and 69.1% had FAP. Operative mortality was 1.8% and overall morbidity was 76.4%. Anastomotic leakage was the most frequent early complication (34.5%). Pouchitis (10.8%) and small bowel obstruction (9.1%) were the most common late complications. Patients with UC had the most severe complications (p=0.014). Pelvic complications did not have a negative effect on functional outcomes or QoL scores. Female patients had decreased pouch evacuation frequency, fewer nocturnal bowel movements, decreased bowel symptom impact on QoL (p=0.012), and better CGQL (p=0.04). Patients with better education had better QoL scores, and patients who had their pouches for more than five years scored lower. CONCLUSION the high morbidity has no impact on function or QoL. Bowel function is generally acceptable. QoL is good and affected by sex, education and time interval since IPAA.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a general term for chronic or remitting/relapsing inflammatory diseases of the intestinal tract and generally refers to ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Since 1950, the number of patients with IBD in Japan has been increasing. The etiology of IBD remains unclear; however, recent research data indicate that the pathophysiology of IBD involves abnormalities in disease susceptibility genes, environmental factors and intestinal bacteria. The elucidation of the mechanism of IBD has facilitated therapeutic development. UC and CD display heterogeneity in inflammatory and symptomatic burden between patients and within individuals over time. Optimal management depends on the understanding and tailoring of evidence-based interventions by physicians. In 2020, seventeen IBD experts of the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology revised the previous guidelines for IBD management published in 2016. This English version was produced and modified based on the existing updated guidelines in Japanese. The Clinical Questions (CQs) of the previous guidelines were completely revised and categorized as follows: Background Questions (BQs), CQs, and Future Research Questions (FRQs). The guideline was composed of a total of 69 questions: 39 BQs, 15 CQs, and 15 FRQs. The overall quality of the evidence for each CQ was determined by assessing it with reference to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach, and the strength of the recommendation was determined by the Delphi consensus process. Comprehensive up-to-date guidance for on-site physicians is provided regarding indications for proceeding with the diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Pouchitis is a common complication in ulcerative colitis patients after total proctocolectomy. This is an unspecific inflammation of the ileo-anal pouch, the aetiology of which is not fully known. This inflammation induces the onset of symptoms such as urgency, diarrhoea, rectal bleeding and abdominal pain. Many patients suffering from pouchitis have a lower quality of life. In addition to symptoms, an endoscopy with biopsies is mandatory in order to establish a definite diagnosis. The recommended index to assess its activity is the Pouchitis Disease Activity Index (PDAI), but its modified version (PDAIm) can be used in clinical practice. In accordance with the duration of symptoms, pouchitis can be classified as acute (<4 weeks) or chronic (>4 weeks), and, regarding its course, pouchitis can be infrequent (<4 episodes per year), recurrent (>4 episodes per year) or continuous.

Abstract
AIM Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) have an unexplained higher incidence of pouchitis and a greater amount of peripouch fat compared with patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). The aims of this study were to compare the peripouch fat areas between patients with UC and patients with FAP, and to explore relationship between peripouch fat and pouchitis or chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis (CARP). METHOD Patients with an abdominal CT image from our prospectively maintained Pouch Database were included. Abdominal fat and peripouch fat were measured on CT images at different levels or planes. Comparisons of peripouch fat and CARP were performed before and after propensity score matching. RESULTS A total of 277 patients with UC and 40 patients with FAP were included. Compared with patients with FAP, patients with UC were found to have a higher incidence of pouchitis (58.5% vs 15.0%, P < 0.001) and CARP (24.5% vs 2.5%, P = 0.002) and a higher total peripouch fat area (P = 0.030) and mesenteric peripouch fat area (P = 0.022) at Level-3. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that diagnosis (UC vs FAP) and peripouch fat areas at Level-3 and Level-5 were independent risk factors for CARP. With propensity score matching, 38 pairs of patients with UC and FAP were matched successfully. After matching, patients with UC were found to have higher total peripouch fat area and higher mesenteric peripouch fat area at Level-3, and a higher incidence of pouchitis (57.9% vs 13.2%, P < 0.001) and CARP (23.7% vs 2.6%, P = 0.007). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that patients with UC have more peripouch fat than those with FAP, which may explain the difference in the frequency of pouchitis and CARP between these groups of patients.

Clinical Outcomes After Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis in Pediatric Patients. J Surg Res 2018; 234:72-76.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the standard surgical reconstruction for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and ulcerative colitis (UC) who undergo total proctocolectomy (TPC). Although patients receive the same reconstruction, their postoperative complications can differ. We hypothesize that indication for TPC and other preoperative clinical factors are associated with differences in postoperative outcomes following IPAA. METHODS A retrospective cohort of pediatric patients who underwent proctocolectomy with IPAA from 1996 to 2016 was identified. Preoperative, operative, and postoperative clinical variables were collected. Univariate analyses were performed to evaluate for relevant postoperative clinical differences. RESULTS Seventy-nine patients, 17 with FAP and 62 with UC, were identified. FAP patients spent a mean of 1125 ± 1011 d between initial diagnosis and first surgery compared to 585 ± 706 d by UC patients (P = 0.038). FAP patients took a mean of 57 ± 38 d to complete TPC with IPAA compared to UC patients at 177 ± 121 d (P < 0.001). FAP and UC patients did not differ in mean number of bowel movements at their 6-mo postoperative visit (4.7 ± 2.1 versus 5.6 ± 1.9, respectively [P = 0.134]). FAP patients were less likely to experience pouchitis (P = 0.009), pouch failure (P < 0.001), and psychiatric symptoms (P = 0.019) but more likely to experience bowel obstruction (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS IPAA is a safe, restorative treatment for FAP and UC patients after TPC. Based on diagnosis and preoperative course, there are differences in morbidity in IPAA patients. Clinical data such as these will allow surgeons to help families anticipate their child's preoperative and postoperative courses and to maximize successful postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) patients requiring colectomy often have a staged ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA). There are no prospective data comparing timing of pouch creation. We aimed to compare 30-day adverse event rates for pouch creation at the time of colectomy (PTC) with delayed pouch creation (DPC). METHODS Using prospectively collected data from 2011-2015 through the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, we conducted a cohort study including subjects aged ≥18 years with a postoperative diagnosis of UC. We assessed 30-day postoperative rates of unplanned readmissions, reoperations, and major and minor adverse events (AEs), comparing the stage of the surgery where the pouch creation took place. Using a modified Poisson regression model, we estimated risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusting for age, sex, race, body mass index, smoking status, diabetes, albumin, and comorbidities. RESULTS Of 2390 IPAA procedures, 1571 were PTC and 819 were DPC. In the PTC group, 51% were on chronic immunosuppression preoperatively, compared with 15% in the DPC group (P < 0.01). After controlling for confounders, patients who had DPC were significantly less likely to have unplanned reoperations (RR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.24-0.75), major AEs (RR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.52-0.99), and minor AEs (RR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.32-0.73) than PTC. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing delayed pouch creation were at lower risk for unplanned reoperations and major and minor adverse events compared with patients undergoing pouch creation at the time of colectomy. 10.1093/ibd/izy082_video1izy082.video15776112442001.

Surgery in ulcerative colitis: When? How? Best Pract Res Clin Gastroenterol 2018; 32-33:71-78.

Abstract
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is an idiopathic chronically-remitting inflammatory bowel disorder characterized by a contiguous inflammation of the colonic mucosa affecting the rectum that generally extends proximally in a continuous manner through the entire colon. Patients typically experience intermittent exacerbations, with symptoms characterized by bloody diarrhea associated with urgency and tenesmus. The anatomical extent of mucosal involvement is the most important factor determining disease course and is an important predictor of colectomy. The precise etiology of UC is unknown. However, a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors seems to have a key role in the development of the disease. UC usually is mildly active but it can be a life-threatening condition because of colonic and systemic complications, and later in the disease course due to the development of colorectal cancer. Interestingly, even if pathogenetic features detected in patients with sporadic CRC can be also found in UC-related colorectal cancer (UC-CRC), this latter is, usually, driven by an inflammation-driven pathway rising from a non-neoplastic inflammatory epithelium to dysplasia to cancer. Thus, a long-term follow-up with colonoscopy surveillance has been recommended. Approximately 15% of UC patients develop an acute attack of severe colitis, and 30% of these patients require colectomy. The initial treatment strategy in UC typically follows the traditional step-up approach. One third of the patients will not respond to steroid therapy and cyclosporine and infliximab are the most common salvage agents employed in these cases in order to avoid emergent surgery. Unfortunately, although a significant short-term benefit have been observed after infliximab treatment, the colectomy rate have remained stable. Surgery in UC depends on the stage of the disease as well as patient's status and is divided into the following settings: urgent, emergent and elective. Despite many efforts the surgical management of UC remains a significant challenge. A multidisciplinary management of UC is key in order to define the best timing and the best procedure for each patient in an individualized basis.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disorder involving mainly the intestinal tract, but possibly other gastrointestinal and extraintestinal organs. Although etiology is still uncertain, recent knowledge in pathogenesis has accumulated, and novel diagnostic and therapeutic modalities have become available for clinical use. Therefore, the previous guidelines were urged to be updated. In 2016, the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology revised the previous versions of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) in Japanese. A total of 59 clinical questions for 9 categories (1. clinical features of IBD; 2. diagnosis; 3. general consideration in treatment; 4. therapeutic interventions for IBD; 5. treatment of UC; 6. treatment of CD; 7. extraintestinal complications; 8. cancer surveillance; 9. IBD in special situation) were selected, and a literature search was performed for the clinical questions with use of the MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Igaku Chuo Zasshi databases. The guidelines were developed with the basic concept of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system. Recommendations were made using Delphi rounds. This English version was produced and edited based on the existing updated guidelines in Japanese.

Abstract
Total retocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the surgery of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) that are refractory to clinical treatment. Pouchitis is one of the most common complications after this procedure. Defects in autophagy have been reported in inflammatory bowel diseases. However, there are no studies on the IP. Therefore, we studied markers for autophagy in the IP mucosa of UC and FAP patients comparing them to controls with a normal distal ileum. Sixteen patients with IP in "J" shape, asymptomatic and with endoscopically normal IP were evaluated. The control group consisted of eight patients with normal colonoscopy. There was a significant decrease in the transcriptional levels of ATG5, MAP1LC3A and BAX in the FAP group. There was also a decrease in the protein level of Beclin-1 in the UC and FAP compared to the control group. Although the LC3II levels by immunoblot were higher in the UC group, LC3/p62 co-localization were lower in the immunofluorescence analysis in the UC and FAP compared to the control group. Corroborating these results, there was an increase of p62 by immunoblot in the UC group. These findings indicated a modulation of macroautophagy markers in the IP, which may explain the mucosa inflammation predisposition.

Abstract
AIM Chronic peri-pouch sepsis (CPPS) may be mistaken for antibiotic-dependent or refractory primary idiopathic pouchitis (ADRP), but requires different treatment such as drainage. The study aimed to identify the prevalence of CPPS in patients thought to have ADRP. The secondary aims were to identify any specific features on pouchoscopy suggesting CPPS and to determine the results of treatment for CPPS. METHOD The records of patients who had been treated for ADRP between March 2006 and June 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. Only those with endoscopic evidence of pouch inflammation who had also undergone MRI of the pelvis were included. The findings on pouchoscopy and the outcome of treatment were determined. RESULTS Sixty-eight patients (43 men, 63%) were identified with apparent ADRP between March 2006 and June 2015. MRI of the pelvis showed CPPS in 26 (38%). In those with CPPS, the inflammation was more often located in the upper pouch alone (15%) compared with patients without CPPS (0%) (P = 0.0184). Examination under anaesthesia was performed in 13 of those with CPPS. In five a collection was identified and drained; symptoms improved in only one (4%). Eighteen patients (69%) remained on antibiotics and seven (27%) had a defunctioning stoma or underwent pouch excision. CONCLUSION In patients thought to have ADRP, 38% had CPPS on MRI. There was no clinically relevant specific feature on pouchoscopy suggestive of CPPS. The possibility of CPPS should be considered early in patients with apparent ADRP and pelvic MRI performed. This might lead to earlier detection of CPPS and appropriate treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) only involves the colonic mucosa. Yet, nearly 50% of patients with UC who undergo total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis develop UC-like inflammation of the ileal pouch (pouchitis). By contrast, patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) with ileal pouch anal anastomosis develop pouchitis far less frequently. We hypothesized that pathogenic events associated with the development of UC are recapitulated by colonic-metaplastic transcriptomic reprogramming of the UC pouch. METHODS We prospectively sampled pouch and prepouch ileum mucosal biopsies in patients with UC with ileal pouch anal anastomosis 4, 8, and 12 months after their pouch was in continuity. Mucosal samples were also obtained from patients with FAP. Transcriptional profiles of the UC and FAP pouch and prepouch ileum were investigated via RNA sequencing and compared with data from a previously published microarray study. RESULTS Unlike patients with FAP, subjects with UC exhibited a large set of differentially expressed genes between the pouch and prepouch ileum as early as 4 months after pouch functionalization. Functional pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes in the UC pouch revealed an enhanced state of immune/inflammatory response and extracellular matrix remodeling. Moreover, >70% of differentially expressed genes mapped to published inflammatory bowel diseases microarray data sets displayed directional changes consistent with active UC but not with Crohn's disease. CONCLUSIONS The UC pouch, well before histologic inflammation, already displays a systems-level gain of colon-associated genes and loss of ileum-associated genes. Patients with UC exhibit a unique transcriptomic response to ileal pouch creation that can be observed well before disease and may in part explain their susceptibility to the development of pouchitis.

Abstract
Data about the effectiveness of biologics, including anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy and anti-integrin strategies, in antibiotic refractory pouchitis or Crohn's disease-associated pouch complications are sparse. We performed a systematic review of the literature in Medline and Web of Science. All English language publications and meeting abstracts describing patients with pouchitis treated with anti-TNF or anti-integrin therapies were included. We identified a total of 17 papers and 2 abstracts, most of these retrospective case series, including a total of 192 patients treated either with infliximab (n=140) or adalimumab (n=52). No reports were found for anti-integrin therapies or other anti-TNF agents such as certolizumab pegol or golimumab. Because of the heterogeneity of the studies, small numbers of patients, differing cotreatments, and subjective outcome definitions, the exact efficacy of these biological therapies cannot be assessed in a combined fashion. Overall infliximab appears to have good clinical effectiveness in selected patients achieving up to 80% short-term and around 50% long-term response, whereas the few data available for adalimumab are not sufficient to draw valid conclusions. Larger prospectively collected multicenter data with clearly defined inclusion criteria and outcomes are necessary to better define the clinical value of anti-TNF therapy in patients with antibiotic refractory pouchitis or Crohn's-like complications of the pouch.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prophylactic proctocolectomy with an ileoanal neo-reservoir is the established procedure in non-attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Traditionally, the ileal J-pouch is created by doubling 15 cm of the terminal ileum. Pouch inlet problems are not infrequently encountered in longer pouches. On this rationale, this series reports on the functional outcome and quality of life (QoL) following standardized construction of a shorter J-pouch with a limb of 8-9 cm length. METHODS All patients of a single-surgeon series with FAP who underwent hand-assisted laparoscopic proctocolectomy and small ileal pouch-anal anastomosis as the primary procedure between 10/2005 and 04/2010 and responded to the questionnaire were included and retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS A total of 46 patients (78 %) out of the consecutive series who underwent operation in this period were included in the study. After a mean follow-up of 38 months, 40/46 patients (87 %) did not report any incontinence and 3 patients (6.5 %) complained about occasional nocturnal incontinence (3 failed to answer this question). The mean stool frequency per 24 h was 6.25. No significant difference was encountered between the QoL outcome of our patients versus the German normative population. Comparable results were achieved in a study analyzing the long-term results in FAP patients with a 15-cm pouch. CONCLUSIONS Smaller, 8-9 cm J-pouches show excellent functional results both in short- and in long-term results. The hand-assisted procedure was safe and no conversions were required. QoL is equal to a normative population, as it is in a series of patients with larger J-pouches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Young patients with familial syndromes have an increased metachronous cancer rate. Effective management is possible by identifying this high-risk group prior to index colectomy. The study surveys the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI) membership preoperative evaluation and clinical management in young patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). METHOD An electronic survey was sent to the membership of the ACPGBI. The survey polled members on clinical scenarios relating to young-onset CRC patients. We were particularly concerned with preoperative management strategies, the extent of colectomy, and postoperative surveillance. Survey responses were collated and analysed. RESULTS A total of 124 members responded to the survey and 74 completed the survey. Of these, 87.8 % would proceed to colectomy without preoperative tumor or genetic testing. Decisions regarding the extent of colectomy depended on family history. A total of 67 (90.6 %) would offer a limited colectomy with no family history, 49 (66.2 %) in a patient with familial CRC type X, 29 (39.2 %) in a young patient with Lynch syndrome. A similar trend was seen with young rectal cancer. Only 16 surgeons (21.6 %) could identify a syndrome of MYH-associated polyposis (MAP). CONCLUSION The majority of ACPGBI members will not offer preoperative risk testing based on a young age alone; however, the majority would alter their surgical strategy based on the results of this testing. MAP is poorly recognized by ACPGBI members and therefore an opportunity exists for education among members. WHAT IS NEW IN THIS PAPER?: This study is the first paper to survey the ACPGBI membership on management practices in young-onset CRC. Members are poor in adopting preoperative testing, alter surgical strategy based on a familial syndrome, with a minority recognizing MAP. An opportunity to improve education on young CRC patients exists.

Abstract
Colectomy is still frequently required in the care of ulcerative colitis. The most common indications are either non-responding colitis in the emergency setting, chronic active disease, steroid-dependent disease or neoplastic change like dysplasia or cancer. The use of the ileal pouch anal anastomosis has internationally been the gold standard, substituting the rectum with a pouch. Recently the use of the ileorectal anastomosis has increased in frequency as reconstructive method after subtotal colectomy. Data from centres using ileorectal anastomosis have shown the method to be safe, with functionality and risk of failure comparable to the ileal pouch anal anastomosis. The methods have different advantages as well as disadvantages, depending on a number of patient factors and where in life the patient is at time of reconstruction. The ileorectal anastomosis could, together with the Kock continent ileostomy, in selected cases be a complement to the ileal pouch anal anastomosis in ulcerative colitis and should be discussed with the patient before deciding on reconstructive method.

Abstract
Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is currently accepted as the standard method to restore continence after total proctocolectomy for medically refractory ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. Ileal pouches offer improved quality of life and high patient satisfaction; however, there are many pouch-related complications due to the original disease process and change in anatomy. This is a review article of the common and some rare surgical complications after J pouches, which can be subdivided into the septic and nonseptic categories. Septic-related complications include anastomotic leak, abscess, and fistulas, whereas common nonseptic-related complications include small bowel obstruction, strictures, Crohn's disease, pouchitis, and cuffitis. Rare nonseptic complications to be discussed are prolapse, volvulus, and neoplasia.

Abstract
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) has become the surgical treatment of choice for many patients with medically refractory ulcerative colitis (UC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). UC patients with IPAA (UC-IPAA) are, nevertheless, susceptible to inflammatory and noninflammatory sequelae such as pouchitis, which is only rarely noted in FAP patients with IPAA. Pouchitis is the most frequent long-term complication of UC-IPAA patients, with a cumulative prevalence of up to 50%. Although the aetiology of pouchitis remains unclear, accumulating evidence suggests that a dysbiosis of the pouch microbiota and an abnormal mucosal immune response are implicated in its pathogenesis. Studies using culture and molecular techniques have detected a dysbiosis of the pouch microbiota in patients with pouchitis. Risk factors, genetic associations, and serological markers suggest that interactions between the host immune response and the pouch microbiota underlie the aetiology of this idiopathic inflammatory condition. This systematic review focuses on the dysbiosis of the microbiota that inhabit the pouch in UC and FAP patients and its interaction with the mucosal immune system. A meta-analysis was not attempted due to the highly heterogeneous microbiota composition and the different detection methods used by the various studies. Although no specific bacterial species, genus, or family has as yet been identified as pathogenic, there is evidence that a dysbiosis characterized by decreased gut microbiota diversity in UC-IPAA patients may, in genetically predisposed subjects, lead to aberrant mucosal immune regulation triggering an inflammatory process.

Abstract
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is considered to be a highly successful therapy for recurrent and refractory Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) based on recent clinical trials. The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is thought to be due in part to perturbations in the gut microflora that disrupt homeostasis. FMT restores essential components of the microflora which could reverse the inflammatory processes observed in IBD. Case reports and series for the treatment of IBD by FMT have shown promise with regards to treatment success and safety despite the limitations of the reporting. Future studies will determine the optimal delivery and preparation of stool as well as the conditions under which the recipient will derive maximal benefit. The long term consequences of FMT with regards to infection, cancer, auto-immune, and metabolic diseases are not known and will require continued regulation and study. Despite these limitations, FMT may be beneficial for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, particularly those with concurrent CDI or with pouchitis.

Abstract
AIM The study evaluated function and quality of life (QoL) in all patients having restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) in Denmark for ulcerative colitis (UC) from 1980 to 2010. Inclusion of all patients in one country has never previously been achieved. METHOD All patients who had had a RPC in Denmark, from the first case in 1980 to the last case in 2010, were studied. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was performed, and function and QoL were assessed using a standardized questionnaire - the Short-Form 36 (SF36) - and the inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ). RESULTS The median duration of follow up was 11 (range, 1-30) years. Apart from deaths, pouch failures and research protection, data on function and QoL were obtained from 1047 (85%) of 1229 patients who had a functioning pouch at the time of the investigation. More female patients than male patients experienced urgency (56% vs 44%, P = 0.0021). The median number of bowel movements per 24 h was 7 (range, 1-23) in female patients and 6 (range, 1-20) in male patients (P < 0.001). Pad usage was more frequent among female patients than among male patients (62% vs 38%, P < 0.001). A higher incidence of major incontinence (P = 0.009) and use of pads (P = 0.01) was found among patients who had been operated on 21-30 years previously compared with those operated on 11-20 years previously. The prevalence of urgency was higher in patients who received surgery 0-10 years previously compared with 11-20 years previously (P = 0.009). The total IBDQ score was higher in male patients than in female patients (P < 0.001). Male patients scored higher in five of eight SF36 domains (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Female patients had more urgency, a higher frequency of defaecation and higher pad usage. This was associated with a reduced QoL. Nevertheless, RPC resulted in good function and a high degree of satisfaction in most patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bacteria have been implicated in the development of pouchitis after ileal pouch anal anastomosis. The change in gastric pH with the use of proton pump inhibitors and H(2) antagonists may lead to alteration of enteric bacteria. We hypothesized that chronic use of these medications would decrease the incidence of pouchitis. METHODS Patients who had undergone ileal pouch anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis were classified by history of pouchitis. Patients were further classified by their use of proton pump inhibitors, H(2) blockers, antacids, and other known risk factors for pouchitis. RESULTS Eighty-five patients were identified. There was a statistically significant increase in the use of daily acid suppression in patients without pouchitis. There was also a statistically significant increase in the use of antacids in patients without pouchitis. Occasional use of acid suppression did not alter the rate of pouchitis. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that the daily use of proton pump inhibitors, H(2) antagonists, or antacids is associated with a decreased risk of pouchitis in ulcerative colitis. Occasional use of these agents did not seem to afford the same protection. These data suggest that altering the pH of the gastrointestinal tract may influence the development of pouchitis.

Abstract
Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) preserves fecal continence as an alternative to permanent end ileostomy in select patients with ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. The procedure is technically demanding, and surgical complications may arise. This article outlines both the early and late complications that can occur after IPAA, as well as the workup and management of these potentially morbid conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously reported the costs associated with surgery for chronic ulcerative colitis in the Olmsted County population and found that direct medical costs after surgery were significantly reduced compared with before surgery. However, in that study, costs associated with chronic medical therapy for ulcerative colitis were not assessed in nonsurgical patients. OBJECTIVE To gain insight into the drivers of costs of treatment for chronic ulcerative colitis, we assessed direct costs after surgical and medical therapy in 120 patients in the Rochester Epidemiology Project database. METHODS A cohort of 60 patients who recovered from surgery for ulcerative colitis from 1988 to 2006 were 1:1 matched by age, sex, and referent year to medically managed patients. Direct health care costs were estimated from an institutional database, and observed cost differences over a 2-year period were calculated. Statistical significance was assessed by paired t tests and bootstrapping; mean costs are adjusted 2009 constant dollars. RESULTS Two-year direct health care costs in the surgical and medical cohorts were $10,328 vs $6,586 (p = 0.19). In the surgical cohort, Brooke ileostomy patients were observed to have higher costs than patients with ileal pouches ([INCREMENT]$8187, p = 0.04), and after ileal pouch, pouchitis was associated with increased costs ([INCREMENT]$12,763, p < 0.01). In the medical cohort, disease extent ([INCREMENT]$6059, p = 0.04) but not disease severity was associated with increased costs. LIMITATIONS This study was limited by the relatively small population size and by its performance in a county with a tertiary referral center. CONCLUSIONS Before the introduction of biologic therapies for ulcerative colitis, patients were observed to have similar health care costs after surgical and medical therapy. In medically treated patients, disease extent was associated with increased costs, whereas in surgically treated patients, permanent ileostomy and pouchitis were observed to be associated with increased costs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study outcomes and functional results of a telescopic straight ileo-anal anastomosis. METHODS Thirty-six mongrel dogs were submitted to total proctocolectomy and telescopic straight ileo-anal anastomosis (ileal mucosa-submucosa pulled-through the rectal cuff). They were divided in 3 groups, sacrificed after one, two or eight weeks after the initial procedure. Gross and microscopic (degree of cooptation and signs of ischemia) aspects of the anastomosis, as well, the aspect of defecation were analyzed. RESULTS On microscopy all anastomosis analysed showed a continuous epithelial line and were considered good. After two-months no signs of ischemia were identified. Defecation aspect has considerably changed during the study, so no dogs presented solid defecation within the first two weeks, whereas 80% of dogs presented solid stools after two months. CONCLUSION Telescopic ileo-anal anastomosis is a safe alternative and may provide good functional results after some small period of time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis occurs in up to 50% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) undergoing ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA). Pouchitis rarely occurs in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) who undergo IPAA. Our aim was to compare mucosal and luminal flora in patients with UC-associated pouchitis (UCP), healthy UC pouches (HUC), and healthy FAP pouches (FAP). METHODS Nineteen patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study (nine UCP, three HUC, seven FAP). Patients with active pouchitis were identified using the Pouchitis Disease Activity Index (PDAI). Ileal pouch mucosal biopsies and fecal samples were analyzed with a 16S rDNA-based terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP) approach. Pooled fecal DNA from four UCP and four FAP pouches were sequenced for further speciation. RESULTS TRFLP data revealed statistically significant differences in the mucosal and fecal microbiota between each group of patients. UCP samples exhibited significantly more TRFLP peaks matching Clostridium and Eubacterium genera compared to HUC and FAP pouches and fewer peaks matching Lactobacillus and Streptococcus genera compared to FAP. DNA Sanger sequencing of a subset of luminal samples revealed UCP having more identifiable sequences of Firmicutes (51.2% versus 21.2%) and Verrucomicrobia (20.2% versus 3.2%), and fewer Bacteroidetes (17.9% versus 60.5%) and Proteobacteria (9.8% versus 14.7%) compared to FAP. CONCLUSIONS The pouch microbial environment appears to be distinctly different in the settings of UC pouchitis, healthy UC, and FAP. These findings suggest that a dysbiosis may exist in pouchitis which may be central to understanding the disease.

Abstract
Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is now the procedure of choice for most patients requiring proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis. The J-shaped pouch, usually 15-20 cm in length, is easiest to construct and has functional outcomes identical to those of the more complex designs. IPAA is a complex procedure, and complications occur frequently. Despite the significant improvements this surgical advance has made on the quality of life in these patients, inflammation of the surgically created ileal pouch or pouchitis remains a major late postoperative complication that can often overshadow the benefits of this otherwise curative operation. Several inflammatory and noninflammatory complications can occur after IPAA. Pouchitis is the most common, occurring in ≈50% of patients. Whereas acute pouchitis can be treated rapidly and successfully in the majority of patients, refractory and chronic pouchitis remain therapeutic challenges to patients and physicians. The problem is believed to be caused by stasis of feces in the pouch with overgrowth of aerobic and anaerobic organisms. The size of the pouch has a significant influence on the incidence of pouchitis: a smaller pouch usually empties better than a larger pouch and so may be less susceptible to pouchitis.

Abstract
AIM About 5% of restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) patients develop chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis. These require antibiotic maintenance therapy. We report our experience in managing this patient group. METHOD Patients with RPC that was treated with antibiotic maintenance therapy were identified from the hospital pouch database. Data including faecal antibiotic sensitivity, functional outcome, side effects and Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQOL) score were recorded. RESULTS Twenty-five patients were identified. The median length of treatment was 15.8 (range 3-62) months. Ten (40%) patients had pouchitis with co-existing prepouch ileitis. The median frequency of defecation was 7 (range 4-11)/24 h, the median clinical Pouch Disease Activity Index (PDAI) was 0 (range 0-1) and the CQGOL score was 0.7 (range 0.5-1.0). Of those who relapsed, three (50%) patients had achieved mucosal healing following the induction of remission. Failure of mucosal healing did not predict a reduced time to relapse (P = 0.18). Prepouch ileitis was associated with an increased risk of developing antibiotic resistance (P = 0.023). Treatment of this with alternating antibiotic combination therapy was successful in all cases. CONCLUSION Antibiotic maintenance therapy appears safe, well-tolerated and effective for the treatment of chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis. It results in an improved quality of life and function. Prepouch ileitis, but not failure of mucosal healing, is associated with an increased risk of developing antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To highlight the recent studies which have enhanced our appreciation of the composition of the microbiota in the human small intestine and its relevance to the health of the host. RECENT FINDINGS In the past number of years, the composition of the microorganisms present in our small intestines has been the subject of greater scrutiny than ever before. These investigations have been possible as a consequence of the development and utilization of new molecular tools which have revolutionized the field of microbial ecology and have focused predominantly on the small intestinal microbiota associated with pediatric celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome and pouchitis. The impact of invasive procedures, such as small bowel transplant, ileostomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis, on the ileal microbiota has also been investigated. SUMMARY The ever greater appreciation of the link between the small intestinal microbiota and the health status of the host has the potential to lead to the development of new strategies to alter this microbiota in a targeted way to prevent or treat specific disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aim was to review outcomes of pediatric patients after restorative proctocolectomy with or without a protective ileostomy in the treatment of ulcerative colitis and polyposis syndromes. METHODS All patients who underwent rectal mucosectomy with ileal pouch reservoir and hand-sewn ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) during 19-year period were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS Eighty-three patients with ulcerative colitis and 7 patients with polyposis syndromes (ages 2.0-21.8 years) were reviewed. Sixty-eight patients underwent IPAA without diverting ileostomy. Fifty-six patients underwent restorative proctocolectomy as single-stage procedures, and 12 had abdominal colectomy and subsequent definitive IPAA without diverting ileostomy. Nineteen patients had IPAA with diverting ileostomy and subsequent closure of ileostomy. Three-stage procedures were performed in 3 cases. An ileal pouch leak or pelvic abscess occurred in 2 patients. Surgical pouch revision for retraction, efferent limb syndrome, prolapse, pouchitis, or perirectal infections occurred in 19 (6/62 J-pouch, 13/28 S-pouch). Fourteen patients (5/22 with diversion, 9/68 without diversion) developed small bowel obstruction. Overall, daytime and nighttime continence was excellent with rare nocturnal evacuations. CONCLUSIONS Restorative proctocolectomy without protective ileostomy is not associated with an increased morbidity, even in patients with active colitis, and may be appropriate most patients.

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

Coloproctectomy with ileo-anal anastomosis (CP-IAA) has been in use for 30 years. This intervention is the standard technique when surgery is indicated for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and for ulcerative colitis (UC). Although the surgery is safe with mortality of less than 1%, it is associated with a morbidity of 18-70%. We thought a literature review about long-term complications would be enlightening. Pouchitis is the most common complication; it occurs in 70% of patients over 20 years follow-up; small bowel obstruction affects 25% of patients and pelvic sepsis occurs in 20-30% within 10 years. CP-IAA can impact the patient's sexual life due to erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction, dyspareunia, and incontinence of stool during sexual intercourse. Nevertheless, patients with long-standing UC describe an overall improvement in their sexual function after surgery. The failure rate varies from 3.5 to 15%; major causes of failure are sepsis, unrecognized Crohn's disease, and poor functional results. Cases of dysplasia and cancer have been reported in the reservoir, but more particularly when there is retained colonic glandular mucosa. The transitional zone should be monitored whenever there are risk factors for colon neoplasia. The relatively high morbidity of CP-IAA should not overshadow the good functional results of this technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify, compare, and contrast the microbiota in patients with and without pouchitis after restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) for ulcerative colitis (UC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Pouchitis is the most common complication following RPC. An abnormal host-microbial interaction has been implicated. We investigated the pouch microbiota in patients with and without pouchitis undergoing restorative proctocolectomy for UC and FAP. METHODS Mucosal pouch biopsies, taken from 16 UC (pouchitis 8) and 8 FAP (pouchitis 3) patients were analyzed to the species (or phylotype) level by cloning and sequencing of 3184 full-length bacterial 16S rRNA genes. RESULTS There was a significant increase in Proteobacteria (P = 0.019) and a significant decrease in Bacteroidetes (P = 0.001) and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (P = 0.029) in the total UC compared with the total FAP cohort, but only limited differences were found between the UC nonpouchitis and pouchitis groups and the FAP pouchitis and nonpouchitis groups. Bacterial diversity in the FAP nonpouchitis group was significantly greater than in UC nonpouchitis (P = 0.019) and significantly greater in UC nonpouchitis compared with UC pouchitis (P = 0.009). No individual species or phylotype specifically associated with either UC or FAP pouchitis was found. CONCLUSIONS UC pouch patients have a different, less diverse, gut microbiota than FAP patients. A further reduction in bacterial diversity but no significant dysbiosis occurs in those with pouchitis. The study suggests that a dysbiosis occurs in the ileal pouch of UC RPC patients which predisposes to, but may not directly cause, pouchitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The influence of function on quality of life after primary restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) was determined with the aim of developing a pouch functional score. METHODS The Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQL) score was determined in 4013 patients undergoing RPC between 1977 and 2005 (mean(s.d.) follow-up 7.0(5.1) years; 13 105 follow-up episodes). Linear regression analysis was used to identify independent symptom domains of function as possible predictors of quality of life to develop and validate a pouch functional score. RESULTS CGQL scores at 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years were 85.0, 87.5, 87.5, 85.0 and 82.5 respectively (P = 0.001). On multivariable analysis, the symptom domains of stool frequency (24 h, nocturnal), urgency, incontinence and medication (antidiarrhoeals, antibiotics) were independently associated with CGQL (P < 0.001). The beta coefficients within each symptom domain were then adjusted to create a scale of 0-30 for practical use, the Pouch Functional Score (PFS), which correlated with the CGQL score (r(s) = -0.47, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Stool frequency, urgency, incontinence and need for medication are major determinants of quality of life following RPC. The PFS demonstrated good correlation with CGQL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is little information on the long-term failure and function after restorative proctocolectomy (RPC). The results of data submitted to a national registry were analysed. METHOD The UK National Pouch Registry was established in 2004. By 2006, it comprised data collected from ten centres between 1976 and 2006. The long-term failure and functional outcome were determined. Trends over time were assessed using the gamma statistic or the Kruskal-Wallis statistic wherever appropriate. RESULTS In all, 2491 patients underwent primary RPC over a median of 54 months (range 1 month to 28.9 years). Of these, 127 (5.1%) underwent abdominal salvage surgery. The incidence of failure (excision or indefinite diversion) was 7.7% following primary and 27.5% following salvage RPC (P < 0.001). The median frequency of defaecation/24 h was five including one at night. Nocturnal seepage occurred in 8% at 1 year, rising to 15.4% at 20 years (P = 0.037). Urgency was experienced by 5.1% of patients at 1 year rising to 9.1% at 15 years (P = 0.022). Stool frequency and the need for antidiarrhoeal medication were greater following salvage RPC. CONCLUSION In patients retaining anal function after RPC, frequency of defaecation was stable over 20 years. Faecal urgency and minor incontinence worsened with time. Function after salvage RPC was significantly worse.
