Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiographic imaging of the abdomen and pelvis plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of ileal pouch disorders with modalities including CT, MRI, contrasted pouchography, and defecography. OBJECTIVES To perform a systematic review of the literature and describe applications of cross-sectional imaging, pouchography, defecography, and ultrasonography. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane database. STUDY SELECTION Relevant articles on endoscopy in ileal pouches published between January 2003 and June 2023 in English were included on the basis of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. INTERVENTION Main abdominal and pelvic imaging modalities and their applications in the diagnosis of ileal pouch disorders were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Accuracy in characterization of ileal pouch disorders. RESULTS CT is the test of choice for the evaluation of acute anastomotic leaks, perforation, and abscess(es). MRI of the pelvis is suitable for the assessment of chronic anastomotic leaks and their associated fistulas and sinus tracts, as well as for the penetrating phenotype of Crohn's disease of the pouch. CT enterography and magnetic resonance enterography are useful in assessing intraluminal, intramural, and extraluminal disease processes of the pouch and prepouch ileum. Water-soluble contrast pouchography is particularly useful for evaluating acute or chronic anastomotic leaks and outlines the shape and configuration of the pouch. Defecography is the key modality to evaluate structural and functional pouch inlet and outlet obstructions. Ultrasonography can be performed to assess the pouch in experienced IBD centers. LIMITATIONS This is a qualitative, not quantitative, review of mainly case series and case reports. CONCLUSIONS Abdominopelvic imaging, along with clinical and endoscopic evaluation, is imperative for accurately assessing structural, inflammatory, functional, and neoplastic disorders.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that progressively affects mucosa and submuccosa of the colon and rectum in a continual pattern. In comparison, Crohn disease (CD), the other type of IBD, is a chronic transmural inflammatory disorder that can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract. MR enterography (MRE) has emerged as an important imaging modality for the diagnosis and detection of disease activity and complications in CD, with comparable results to those of endoscopy. But MRE has been underused for assessment of UC in recent years, and clinicians heavily rely on endoscopic findings for management of UC. Despite UC being considered an endoscopically assessable disease, MRE can provide useful information beyond that obtained with endoscopy about mural or extramural abnormalities, inaccessible parts of the colonic lumen, associated extraintestinal diseases, and superimposed pathologic conditions. Moreover, endoscopy might be contraindicated in some clinical settings due to the risk of colonic perforation. In addition to depicting the features of UC activity in different phases, MRE demonstrates findings of disease chronicity that cannot be achieved with endoscopy, particularly in a patient with colitis of unknown cause. The valuable diagnostic role of MRE to exclude undiagnosed CD in patients with UC who have refractory disease or those with postproctocolectomy complications is also emphasized. Radiologists can play a crucial role in the management of UC with MRE by addressing what is beyond endoscopy. ©RSNA, 2023 Test Your Knowledge questions are available in the supplemental material.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multidisciplinary management of patients with an ileoanal pouch requires dedicated imaging to identify structural problems of the pouch associated with dysfunction. The purpose of this study is to provide a framework for interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the ileoanal pouch to enable surgeons and radiologists to work cohesively, optimise diagnosis and ultimately improve patient care. METHODS We propose a protocol for structured MRI assessment of the ileal pouch, aiming to provide surgeons a systematic report of the anatomy, its variations and pouch complications. This guide consists of studying the characteristics of the bowel, mesentery and anal canal. RESULTS The presented checklist is designed to systematically interpret and identify abnormalities of the ileoanal pouch on MRI. It focuses on the characteristics of the bowel (encompassing pre-pouch ileum, pouch and rectal cuff), mesentery and anal canal. The different elements of the checklist are presented in the associated supplementary video. CONCLUSIONS A combination of clinical assessment, endoscopic evaluations and imaging is fundamental to achieving accurate diagnosis of ileoanal pouch surgery complications and pouch dysfunction.

Abstract
The sections of this special issue on the ileal pouch demonstrate that in the nearly 45 years since the ileal pouch has been utilized to treat patients with colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis, a substantial number of patients experience both short- and long-term morbidity and that imaging plays an important role in their management. Further, referral centers are encountering an increasing number of patients with pouch and peri-pouch complications and dysfunction. Many of these patients have had their pouches for years, and many have experienced a reduced quality of life as a result of their symptoms.As we look to the future, what are the specific questions that arise from this compilation of experience from institutions that see large numbers of patients with an ileal pouch? In what areas are we deficient? In what areas are we using the wrong methods? What should we be doing differently?

Abdom Radiol (NY) 2023; 48:2978-2985. [PMID: 36871233 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-023-03858-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Given that ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) surgery is a technically challenging and high-morbidity procedure, there are numerous pertinent imaging findings that need to be clearly and efficiently communicated to the IBD surgeons for essential patient management and surgical planning. Structured reporting has been increasingly used over the past decade throughout various radiology subspecialties to improve reporting clarity and completeness. We compare structured versus non-structured reporting of pelvic MRI for ileal pouch to evaluate for clarity and effectiveness. METHODS 164 consecutive pelvic MRI's for ileal pouch evaluation, excluding subsequent exams for the same patient, acquired between 1/1/2019 and 7/31/2021 at one institution were included, before and after implementation (11/15/2020) of a structured reporting template, which was created with institutional IBD surgeons. Reports were assessed for the presence of 18 key features required for complete ileal pouch assessment: anastomosis (IPAA, tip of J, pouch body), cuff (length, cuffitis), pouch body (size, pouchitis, stricture), pouch inlet/pre-pouch ileum (stricture, inflammation, sharp angulation), pouch outlet (stricture), peripouch mesentery (position, mesentery twist), pelvic abscess, peri-anal fistula, pelvic lymph nodes, and skeletal abnormalities. Subgroup analysis was performed based on reader experience and divided into three categories: experienced (n = 2), other intra-institutional (n = 20), or affiliate site (n = 6). RESULTS 57 (35%) structured and 107 (65%) non-structured pelvic MRI reports were reviewed. Structured reports contained 16.6 [SD:4.0] key features whereas non-structured reports contained 6.3 [SD:2.5] key features (p < .001). The largest improvement following template implementation was for reporting sharp angulation of the pouch inlet (91.2% vs. 0.9%, p < .001), tip of J suture line and pouch body anastomosis (both improved to 91.2% from 3.7%). Structured versus non-structured reports contained mean 17.7 versus 9.1 key features for experienced readers, 17.0 versus 5.9 for other intra-institutional readers, and 8.7 versus 5.3 for affiliate site readers. CONCLUSION Structured reporting of pelvic MRI guides a systematic search pattern and comprehensive evaluation of ileal pouches, and therefore facilitates surgical planning and clinical management. This standardized reporting template can serve as baseline at other institutions for adaptation based on specific radiology and surgery preferences, fostering a collaborative environment between radiology and surgery, and ultimately improving patient care.

Abstract
Ileal pouch surgery is the surgical gold standard treatment for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). However, ileal pouch surgery is a technically challenging procedure and is associated with high morbidity. Clinical presentations of pouch complications are often nonspecific but imaging can identify many of these complications and is essential in clinical management. This paper will focus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the ileal pouch, including recommended MRI protocol and approach to imaging interpretation with an emphasis on those ileal pouch complications particularly well evaluated with MRI.

Abstract
This manuscript is part of the ileal pouch symposium and will describe the water-soluble contrast enema, CT, and small bowel series. MRI and other imaging modalities are discussed elsewhere in the symposium. Water-soluble contrast enema and CT are excellent for the evaluation of the ileal pouch. Contrast enema and CT with anal contrast administration can allow for anastomotic integrity and pouch assessment. Pre-pouch ileum, extra-intestinal manifestations, and acute symptomatology are best assessed with CT. The contrast small bowel examination is of limited utility in pouch patients and should not be performed. Indications, imaging technique, and anatomic pouch assessment with water-soluble contrast enema, CT, and contrast small bowel examination will be reviewed here.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The data on management and outcomes of pelvic sepsis after re-do IPAA are scarce. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to report our management algorithm of pelvic sepsis in the setting of re-do IPAA and compare functional outcomes and quality of life after successful management of pelvic sepsis with a no sepsis control group. DESIGN This is a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS This investigation is based on a single academic practice group experience on re-do IPAA. PATIENTS Patients who underwent re-do IPAA for ileal pouch failure between September 2016 and September 2020 were included in the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Management of pelvic sepsis was reported. Functional outcomes, restrictions, and quality-of-life scores were compared between the sepsis and no sepsis groups. RESULTS One-hundred ten patients were included in our study, of whom 25 (22.7%) developed pelvic sepsis. Twenty-three patients presented with pelvic sepsis before ileostomy closure, and 2 patients presented with pelvic sepsis after ileostomy closure. There were 6 pouch failures in the study period due to pelvic sepsis. Our management was successful in 79% of the patients with median follow-up of 26 months. Treatments included interventional radiology abscess drainage (n = 7), IV antibiotics alone (n = 5), interventional radiology drainage and mushroom catheter placement (n = 1), mushroom catheter placement (n = 1), and endoluminal vacuum-assisted closure (n = 1). Average number of bowel movements, urgency, incontinence, pad use, and seepage were comparable between the pelvic sepsis and no pelvic sepsis groups ( p > 0.05). Lifestyle alterations, Cleveland Global Quality of Life scores, and happiness with the results of the surgery were similar ( p > 0.05). LIMITATIONS This study is limited by its low study power and limited follow-up time. CONCLUSIONS Pelvic sepsis is common after re-do IPAA, and management varies according to the location and size of the abscess/sinus. If detected early, our management strategy was associated with high pouch salvage rates. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B823 . MANEJO, RESULTADOS FUNCIONALES Y CALIDAD DE VIDA DESPUS DEL DESARROLLO DE SEPSIS PLVICA EN PACIENTES SOMETIDAS A RECONFECCIN DE ANASTOMOSIS ANAL CON BOLSA ILEAL ANTECEDENTES:Los datos sobre el tratamiento y los resultados de la sepsis pélvica después de reconfección de anastomosis anal, de la bolsa ileal son escasos.OBJETIVO:El objetivo de este estudio es informar nuestro algoritmo de manejo de la sepsis pélvica en el contexto de reconfección de anastomosis anal de la bolsa ileal y comparar los resultados funcionales y la calidad de vida después del manejo exitoso de la sepsis pélvica con un grupo de control sin sepsis.DISEÑO:Este es un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo.AJUSTES:Esta investigación se basa en una experiencia de un solo grupo de práctica académica sobre reconfección de IPAA.PACIENTES:Se incluyeron en el estudio pacientes que se sometieron a una nueva anastomosis anal, del reservorio ileal por falla del reservorio ileal entre el 09/2016 y el 09/2020.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Se informó el manejo de la sepsis pélvica.

[PMID: 35119788 DOI: 10.1111/codi.16080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2021] [Revised: 11/02/2021] [Accepted: 01/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
AIM Approximately 20%-40% of the patients with re-do ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) experience pouch failure. Salvage surgery can be attempted in this patient group with severe aversion to permanent ileostomy. The literature regarding secondary IPAA revision after re-do IPAA failure is scarce. METHODS All patients who underwent a secondary IPAA revision after re-do IPAA failure between September 2016 and July 2021 in a single centre were included. Short- and long-term outcomes and quality of life in this patient group are reported. RESULTS Ten patients who had secondary IPAA revision for re-do IPAA failure were included. All patients had ulcerative colitis. Nine of these patients had pelvic sepsis and one patient had a mechanical issue. Mucosectomy and handsewn anastomosis was performed in nine patients. The existing pouch was salvaged in six patients and four patients had pouch excision and re-creation. Two patients had postoperative pelvic sepsis. Pouch retention rate was 78% in a median of 28 months. None of the patients had short-gut syndrome. The procedure was associated with good quality of life (median Cleveland Global Quality of Life Index 0.8). All patients would undergo the same surgery if needed. CONCLUSION Secondary IPAA revision after a failed re-do IPAA can be an option in patients with severe aversion to permanent ileostomy if re-do IPAA fails and it is associated with good outcomes. This patient group should be carefully evaluated and referred to specialized centres if required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The diagnosis and follow up of patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] requires cross-sectional imaging modalities, such as intestinal ultrasound [IUS], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and computed tomography [CT]. The quality and homogeneity of medical reporting are crucial to ensure effective communication between specialists and to improve patient care. The current topical review addresses optimized reporting requirements for cross-sectional imaging in IBD. METHODS An expert consensus panel consisting of gastroenterologists, radiologists and surgeons convened by the ECCO in collaboration with ESGAR performed a systematic literature review covering the reporting aspects of MRI, CT, IUS, endoanal ultrasonography and transperineal ultrasonography in IBD. Practice position statements were developed utilizing a Delphi methodology incorporating two consecutive rounds. Current practice positions were set when ≥80% of the participants agreed on a recommendation. RESULTS Twenty-five practice positions were developed, establishing standard terminology for optimal reporting in cross-sectional imaging. Assessment of inflammation, complications and imaging of perianal CD are outlined. The minimum requirements of a standardized report, including a list of essential reporting items, have been defined. CONCLUSIONS This topical review offers practice recommendations to optimize and homogenize reporting in cross-sectional imaging in IBD.

[PMID: 34252327 DOI: 10.1089/lap.2021.0030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Pelvic sepsis is a dreadful complication after ileal pouch creation. It is mostly treated conservatively, and the ileal pouch can be salvaged if sepsis is detected and treated in a timely manner. Even under the best circumstances, pelvic sepsis is often associated with poor functional outcomes. If pelvic sepsis becomes chronic, it could lead to pouch failure. Redo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is a viable option in the setting of chronic pelvic sepsis to preserve gastrointestinal continuity in motivated patients. It is associated with similar surgical morbidity, acceptable functional outcomes, and good quality of life. Patients should be involved in the decision-making process after ileal pouch failure. In the setting of ileal pouch failure, surgeons with limited experience may not be comfortable offering patients redo IPAA. Redo IPAA requires subspecialization and patients with ileal pouch failure should be treated at specialized high-volume centers.

Lui K, Wilson MP, Low G. Abdominal imaging findings in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection: a scoping review. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2021; 46:1249-1255. [PMID: 32926211 PMCID: PMC7488219 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-020-02739-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 08/19/2020] [Accepted: 08/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This scoping review evaluated the currently available data related to abdominal imaging in the SARS-CoV-2 infection. METHOD A systematic review of MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and Web of Science was performed from inception to July 15, 2020 using PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The review included case reports and series discussing radiologic manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection in abdominal imaging studies. Studies published from inception to March 31, 2020, were independently screened and reviewed by one author, and another author reviewed studies published after March 31 to July 15, 2020. Study screening and full-text review for publications before March 31, 2020, was performed by one author, and another author for publications after March 31 to July 15, 2020. RESULTS Thirty-six studies were included in qualitative synthesis. The prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms is roughly 18% and includes loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Sixteen percent of COVID-19 cases may only present with gastrointestinal symptoms. Many patients presenting this way demonstrate evidence of COVID-19 incidentally through abdominal CT imaging at the lung bases. Studies published to date have also reported abdominal imaging findings including small and large bowel wall thickening, fluid-filled colon, pneumatosis intestinalis, pneumoperitoneum, intussusception, and ascites. CONCLUSION Gastrointestinal manifestations and imaging manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection are increasingly reported and warrant specific attention during abdominal imaging.
