Quality of Life After Brooke Ileostomy and Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis

Functional outcome and quality of life after restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.

Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the surgical treatment of choice for patients with medically refractory ulcerative colitis, ulcerative colitis with dysplasia or cancer, or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). The aim of this study is to report our 6-year experience of restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA at a tertiary referral centre. Chart review was performed...

Genetic and Demographic Correlates of Quality of Life after Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis for Ulcerative Colitis

Objective: Patient satisfaction after ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC) is difficult to predict preoperatively and has never been investigated from a genetic perspective. Methods: Modified IBD quality of life (QOL) questionnaires were mailed to all UC-IPAA patients in our IBD Biobank. Genotyping was performed using a custom microarray containing 325 IBD-associated ...

Long-term functional outcome and quality of life after proctocolectomy ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for colitis

Sexual function after failed ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Failure of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) occurs in around 10% of the patients. Compared to patients with functioning pouches, health related quality of life is deteriorated after failure. Sexual function in patients with pouch failure is however poorly studied. The aim was to study sexual function in patients with pelvic pouch failure; patients with functioning pouches...

Clinical and physiological aspects of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.

Proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the surgical treatment of choice for severe chronic ulcerative colitis and familial polyposis coli because the entire colonic mucosa is removed while anal function can be preserved and the necessity for permanent ileostomy is eliminated. Long-term functional results are generally gratifying, as defecation frequency and degree of incontinence ...
