Abstract
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA have become the surgical procedure of choice in pediatric patients with medically refractory colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis. OBJECTIVE This systematic review aims to assess the diagnosis and treatment of pouch disorders in pediatric patients who undergo IPAA. DATA SOURCES A literature search was performed using MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Embase for all publications describing outcomes of pediatric IPAA. STUDY SELECTION Studies between January 1, 2000, and September 7, 2022, published in English were included. Studies were excluded on the basis of title, abstract, and full-length review. INTERVENTIONS IPAA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Pouch disorders described include anastomotic leaks, pouch strictures, pouch failure, pouchitis, cuffitis, and de novo Crohn's disease of the pouch. RESULTS Thirty-three studies were included in this review, all of which were retrospective in nature. The outcomes of 2643 pediatric patients were included in the 33 studies. LIMITATIONS Management is largely informed by clinical practices in adult patients with scant data on treatment efficacy in children. CONCLUSIONS The reported incidence of disorders of the pouch in children varies widely and is likely attributable to differences in definitions and follow-up periods across studies. Pouchitis was the most frequently described outcome. The overall rate of pouch failure in children is relatively low, with de novo Crohn's disease of the pouch being the most significant risk factor. Multicenter prospective studies are needed in the pediatric population to accurately identify risk factors, standardize the assessment of pouch complications, and determine effective treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Clinical outcomes in pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) in the era of biologic agents are poorly defined. We aimed to describe risk factors for colectomy in pediatric UC in the era of infliximab therapy. METHODS We reviewed 217 pediatric patients at Texas Children's Hospital with newly diagnosed UC between 2003 and 2015; 117 had a minimum of 5 years of follow-up. Extent of disease at diagnosis, medication exposure, the presence of extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs), and need for surgery were noted. RESULTS Average length of follow up was 5.02 ± 2.27 years. Forty-two percent presented with pancolitis. Infliximab was used in 39%, immunomodulators in 65%, and steroids in 89% of patients. EIMs occurred in 24.9% of patients. The cumulative rate of colectomy was 12.9% at 5 years. Children presenting as E2 (Paris Classification) and children prescribed oral steroid monotherapy at diagnosis progressed to surgery faster than any other group. Of the children who received infliximab, females and children less than 5 years old were less likely to respond to therapy. CONCLUSIONS The natural course of pediatric UC remains aggressive despite the addition of infliximab to the standard of care and suggests a need for early aggressive clinical intervention. LEVEL-OF-EVIDENCE RATING Level IV.

Abstract
Objectives: Research evidence suggests that chronic pouchitis is associated with intestinal dysbiosis. Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been proposed as a possible treatment. We performed a 6-month prospective, open-label, single-centre cohort pilot-study (NCT03538366) to investigate if FMT could improve clinical outcome and alter gut microbiota in patients with chronic pouchitis.Materials and methods: Nine adult patients with chronic pouchitis were included and allocated to 14 days FMT by enemas from five faecal donors, with a 6-month follow-up. Pouchitis severity was assessed using pouchitis disease activity index (PDAI) before and after FMT. Changes in gut microbiota, and engraftment of donor's microbiota were assessed in faecal samples.Results: All patients were treated with FMT for 14 continuous days. Overall, four of nine patients receiving FMT were in clinical remission at 30-day follow-up, and three patients remained in remission until 6-month follow-up. Clinical symptoms of pouchitis improved significantly between inclusion and 14-day follow-up (p = .02), but there was no improvement in PDAI between inclusion (mean 8.6) and 30-day follow-up (mean 5.2). Treatment with FMT caused a substantial shift in microbiota and increased microbial diversity in six patients, resembling that of the donors, with a high engraftment of specific donor microbiota.Conclusions: Symptomatic benefit in FMT treatment was found for four of nine patients with chronic pouchitis with increased microbial diversity and high engraftment of donor's microbiota. A larger, randomised controlled study is required to fully evaluate the potential role of FMT in treating chronic pouchitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) has become the procedures of choice for restoration of intestinal continuity in ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis. This systematic review aims to assess short-term postoperative and long-term functional outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing IPAA. METHODS A literature search was performed for all publications of pediatric IPAA in which short- and long-term outcomes were reported. Papers were excluded based on title, abstract, and full-length review. Data collection included patient demographics, medication use preoperatively, operative approach, 30-day postoperative outcomes, long-term functional outcomes (to maximal date of follow-up), and pouch failure rate. Outcomes were compared in those patients with and without perioperative corticosteroid exposure. Study quality and risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale as all studies were cohort studies. RESULTS Of 710 records reviewed, 42 full papers were included in the analysis. Rates of superficial surgical site infection, pelvic sepsis, ileus, and small bowel obstruction at <30 days were 10%, 11%, 10%, and 14%, respectively. Rates of pouchitis, stricture, chronic fistula tract, incontinence, and pouch failure were 30%, 17%, 12%, 20%, and 8%, respectively, at 37-109 months of follow-up; incontinence was significantly higher in those exposed to corticosteroids preoperatively (52% vs 20%; P < 0.001). The median daytime, nighttime, and 24-hour stool frequency were 5.3, 1.4, and 5 bowel movements, respectively. CONCLUSIONS IPAA is safe with good long-term functional outcomes in pediatric patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Childhood-onset ulcerative colitis [UC] requires total colectomy in one-quarter of patients at some point of their disease. The study objective was to evaluate long-term outcomes after proctocolectomy with ileoanal anastomosis [IAA] for paediatric UC. METHODS Medical records of all children undergoing proctocolectomy with IAA for UC during 1985-2016 in Helsinki University Hospital were retrospectively assessed. Data on disease history, diagnostic and operative details, occurrence of surgical complications, functional outcome, postoperative diagnosis of Crohn's disease [CD] and pouch failure were collected. Risk factors for IAA failure were analysed with Cox regression. RESULTS Of 87 patients, 85 [98%] had UC and 2 [2%] inflammatory bowel disease unclassified [IBD-U] preoperatively. Altogether 66% underwent two-stage and 34% underwent three-stage procedures. During 7.8 [4.1-14.5] years' follow-up, nine [10%] patients were diagnosed with postoperative CD. Postoperative leakages [n = 8, 9%] and strictures [n = 10, 11%] were equally common, whereas fistulas [78% vs 9%, p <0.001] and abscesses [56% vs 14%, p = 0.009] were more frequent among patients with later CD diagnosis. At latest follow-up, eight [9%] patients had been converted to a permanent ileostomy and others reported daytime stooling frequency of 5 [4-7] and 0.5 [0-1] at night. CD diagnosis (hazard ratio [HR] = 23.3, p = 0.005), postoperative abscesses [HR = 16.3, p = 0.013] and fistulas [HR = 20.9, p = 0.007] as well as three-stage surgery [p = 0.018] increased risk for ileostomy. CONCLUSIONS For paediatric UC, long-term surgical and functional outcomes after proctocolectomy with IAA are reassuring. Need for three-stage surgery and occurrence of postoperative fistulas and abscesses, but not leakages or strictures, associate with postoperative CD diagnosis and the risk for ileostomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have investigated surgical outcomes following a colectomy in pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). PURPOSE This study aimed to determine long-term outcomes in a large cohort of pediatric patients who underwent proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for UC. METHODS Pediatric patients (<17 years old) who underwent surgery at 12 different hospitals in Japan between May 1979 and March 2015 were included in this study. Information was obtained by the use of a questionnaire survey. RESULTS There were 113 (53.3%) male and 99 (46.7%) female pediatric patients. The most common indication for elective surgery was failure of medical management, whereas emergency surgery was carried out for fulminant cases. A hand-sewn IPAA was used with a mucosectomy in 112 (52.8%), stapled anastomosis in 93 (43.9%), and not specified in 7 (3.3%) patients. Small bowel obstruction and surgical site infection were the most frequent early postoperative complications (POC), whereas pouchitis, small bowel obstruction, and perianal fistula were frequent late POC. The most common late POC was pouchitis, found in 38 (17.9%) of the patients, whereas pouch failure was noted in 11 patients at the latest follow-up examination. Cumulative pouch survival rate after 10 years was 91.7%. There were no significant differences regarding gender or anastomotic procedure in relation to cumulative pouch survival rate. CONCLUSION To avoid pouch failure following an IPAA procedure, it is important to recognize that pouchitis or an anal fistula may lead to this condition in pediatric UC patients.

Ann Gastroenterol 2018; 31:350-355.

Abstract
Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a lifelong disease with a relapse-remission pattern that affects patients' social and psychological wellbeing. Restorative proctocolectomy and J-pouch formation is the gold-standard surgical procedure in cases where symptoms are refractory to currently available medical treatment. The aim of this study was to assess patients' quality of life (QoL) in order to evaluate the efficiency of surgery and patients' symptomatology. Methods We performed a prospective comparative study of the QoL of 47 patients with UC, treated surgically. As research tools, we used the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) and the Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQL) questionnaire. Parametric and non-parametric tests were used in order to correlate areas of QoL and other selected factors, such as marital status, sex, age, and education. Results The mean scores before and after closure of the ileostomy were 153.29 and 178 for the IBDQ (P=0.0025), and 17.4 and 23.42 for the CGQL (P<0.001), suggesting an overall improvement in QoL. The research showed that there was no specific QoL factor, such as intestinal, systemic, emotional or social life symptoms, that improved significantly more than the others (P=0.99). The IBDQ showed that patients aged less than 20 years (P<0.001), female patients (P=0.03) and patients with secondary education (P<0.001) reported the greatest improvement. Conclusions The QoL in UC patients treated surgically improved following closure of the de-functioning ileostomy. QoL studies are encouraged to optimize and maintain high standards of surgical care, and they could potentially be used for assessment of therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
AIMS To quantify the incidence of loss of an ileoanal pouch in children and to identify variables associated this event. METHODS Logistic regression of possible explanatory variables: age, sex, indication for procto-colectomy, pre-operative continence status, use of immunosuppressive drugs, open or laparoscopic surgery, number of stages, anastomotic leak, operative complication excluding anastomotic leak, performance of revisional surgery, albumin concentration and platelet count at time of surgery, rank order in series. Univariate logistic regression was used to identify significant variables which were then assessed in a multivariate model and construction of Kaplan-Meier graphs. RESULTS 103 children, 56 girls, underwent ileoanal pouch at median age 14years (SD 3.7). Indications and mean age were: ulcerative colitis (n=71, 14years), polyposis syndromes (n=13, 15years), chronic idiopathic constipation (n=9, 11years), Hirschsprung's disease (n=4, 1year), Crohn's disease (n=2, 16years), and fibrosing colonopathy (n=2, 11years). 13 patients had their pouch excised or permanently diverted. Three patients had successful revisional pouch surgery. Only pre-operative fecal incontinence and anastomotic leak were significantly associated with pouch excision/diversion, however on multivariate analysis, only fecal incontinence remained significant, odds ratio 21 (95%CI 1.8-235, p=0.01). Pouch survival was significantly worse where there was fecal incontinence pre-operatively, p<0.0001 or an anastomotic leak, p<0.001. CONCLUSIONS 13% of children subjected to restorative procto-colectomy ultimately receive a permanent ileostomy. Fecal incontinence prior to surgery is a relative contra-indication. Anastomotic leak increases the probability of later pouch excision. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis has been the surgical treatment of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis who require surgery. Quality of life after this procedure is satisfactory in most cases; however, pouchitis is a troublesome condition involving inflammation of the ileal pouch. When a patient presents with symptoms of pouchitis, such as increased bowel movements, mucous and/or bloody exudates, abdominal cramps, and fever, endoscopy is essential for a precise diagnosis. The proximal ileum and rectal cuff, as well as the ileal pouch, should be endoscopically observed. The reported incidence of pouchitis ranges from 14% to 59%, and antibiotic therapy is the primary treatment for acute pouchitis. Chronic pouchitis includes antibiotic-dependent and refractory pouchitis. Intensive therapy including antitumor necrosis factor antibodies and steroids may be necessary for antibiotic-refractory pouchitis, and pouch failure may occur despite such intensive treatment. Reported risk factors for the development of pouchitis include presence of extraintestinal manifestations, primary sclerosing cholangitis, non-smoking, and postoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug usage. In the present review, we focus on the diagnosis, endoscopic features, management, incidence, and risk factors of pouchitis in patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.
