Short- and long-term outcomes of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis

Short- and long-term outcomes of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis.

UNLABELLED Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis was an important advancement in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. The aim of this study was to determine whether early complications of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in patients with ulcerative colitis are associated with poor late functional results. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty patients were operated on from 1986 to 2000, 62 patients with ileostomy a...

[Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis: complications and long term functional results].

BACKGROUND The ileo anal-pouch-anastomosis (IPAA) is the treatment of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). AIM To analyze the surgical outcomes, long term evolution and functional results of IPAA. MATERIAL AND METHODS All patients subjected to an IPAA, from 1984 to 2006 were identified from a prospectively constructed inflammatory bowel disease database. Surgical variables, pos...

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 ...
