Abstract
Pouchitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory disease of the ileal reservoir. It is common after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, and treatment of chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis has proven challenging. Most cases of acute pouchitis evolve into chronic pouchitis. The aetiology of acute pouchitis is likely to be partly related to the gut microbiota, whereas the pathophysiology of chronic pouchitis involves abnormal interactions between genetic disposition, faecal stasis, the gut microbiota, dysregulated host immunity, surgical techniques, ischaemia and mesentery-related factors. Pouchoscopy with biopsy is the most valuable modality for diagnosis, disease monitoring, assessment of treatment response, dysplasia surveillance and delivery of endoscopic therapy. Triggering or risk factors, such as Clostridioides difficile infection and use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, should be modified or eradicated. In terms of treatment, acute pouchitis usually responds to oral antibiotics, whereas chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis often requires induction and maintenance therapy with integrin, interleukin or tumour necrosis factor inhibitors. Chronic pouchitis with ischaemic features, fistulae or abscesses can be treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is used to treat patients with ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis who need colectomy. While this procedure substantially improves patient's quality of life and reduces cancer risk, it is associated with a variety of sequelae' including surgical complications, inflammatory disorders, and neoplasia. Pouchitis, cuffitis, and Crohn's disease of the pouch are the most common inflammatory disorders of the pouch and para-pouch. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to elaborate on the histopathology of common inflammatory and neoplastic disorders of the pouch and para-pouch. DATA SOURCES A Medline search for English language studies published between 1981 and 2021 using the PubMed search engine. The terms "ileal pouch-anal anastomosis," "pouchitis," "pouchitis activity score," "secondary pouchitis," "Crohn's disease of the pouch," "Crohn's-like conditions of the pouch," "pre-pouch ileitis," "cuffitis," "pouch adenocarcinoma," and "pouch neoplasia" were used. STUDY SELECTION The published human studies that reported histopathology of common inflammatory and neoplastic disorders of the ileal pouch were selected and reviewed. CONCLUSIONS Histologic examination plays an essential role in confirming inflammation in pouchitis, identifying etiology and clues for secondary pouchitis, and diagnosing neoplasia. A standardized, simple, and reproducible histologic grading system for pouchitis is needed. Pouch and para-pouch glandular dysplasia diagnosis is challenging and should always be reviewed by at least one gastrointestinal pathologist.

Abstract
Pouchitis, Crohn's disease of the pouch, cuffitis, polyps, and extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease are common inflammatory disorders of the ileal pouch. Acute pouchitis is treated with oral antibiotics and chronic pouchitis often requires anti-inflammatory therapy, including the use of biologics. Aetiological factors for secondary pouchitis should be evaluated and managed accordingly. Crohn's disease of the pouch is usually treated with biologics and its stricturing and fistulising complications can be treated with endoscopy or surgery. The underlying cause of cuffitis determines treatment strategies. Endoscopic polypectomy is recommended for large, symptomatic inflammatory polyps and polyps in the cuff. The management principles of extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease in patients with pouches are similar to those in patients without pouches.

Chang S, Shen B, Remzi F. When Not to Pouch: Important Considerations for Patient Selection for Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis. Gastroenterol Hepatol (N Y) 2017; 13:466-475.

Abstract
Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the preferred surgical treatment for patients who undergo colectomy and wish to avoid a permanent ileostomy. The overall outcomes are positive, with an improved quality of life and stable long-term pouch retention. However, certain conditions or disease states may be at a higher risk of pouch dysfunction or failure. For example, obese patients have an increased risk for postoperative complications. In addition, women with a history of obstetric complications and elderly patients with a history of sphincter damage or dysfunction may be at an increased risk for postoperative incontinence, although quality-of-life indices do not necessarily correlate with incontinence scores. Advanced age itself is not a contraindication to pouch surgery, and elderly patients can be considered for IPAA based on individual functionality and comorbidities. Pelvic radiation may lead to pouch dysfunction. Finally, patients with Crohn's disease and indeterminate colitis may have increased complications with IPAA, but highly specific patient selection leads to good rates of pouch retention. This article examines several clinical scenarios that require careful thought prior to considering IPAA.
