BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2015213662 DESCRIPTION Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the surgical treatment of choice for patients with refractory ulcerative colitis. Long-term complications of this procedure include pouchitis, metabolic complications, strictures, fistulae, pouch failure and pouch neoplasia. 2 One series of 1911 patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis found a 3.5% failure rate at 5.5 years with causes including: pelvic sepsis, high stool volume, incontinence and disease remission. We present a rare case of massive abdominal distension due to non-functioning of the pouch necessitating complete excision of the pouch with end ileostomy to alleviate intractable symptoms. A 73-year-old woman with a history of ulcerative colitis and colectomy with ileoanal pouch formation almost 30 years prior was experiencing chronic abdominal distension, diarrhoea and malnutrition. She had lost 10 kg over 1 year and her body mass index had dropped to 15 kg/m. Examination revealed a hugely distended abdomen with visible peristalsis and tympanic resonance on percussion. Imaging demonstrated a grossly distended pouch and proximal bowel dilation (figures 1 and 2). Excision of the non-functional pouch was performed via a midline laparotomy. Findings were an abnormally dilated non-functional pouch with an approximate size of 44×22 cm (figure 3), and grossly dilated small bowel up to the proximal jejunum with no point of obstruction. The pouch was mobilised up to the pelvic floor and completely excised at the anorectal junction. A defunctioning right iliac fossa ileostomy was fashioned. Postoperatively, a prolonged stay on intensive care

Background: The natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has become a commonly considered novel approach in the surgical field. The NOTES provide possibility of operation through the natural orifice and decreases the intentional puncture of the systemic organ and subsequent complications. Totally transanal laparo-endoscopic single-site proctoColectomy-Ileoanal J-Pouch (TLPC-J) is...
متن کاملCancer in an ileoanal reservoir: a new late complication?
The functional success rate of the ileoanal reservoir procedure for ulcerative colitis is quite high. Despite the few early and late complications described there is now wide-spread acceptance of this procedure in the management of ulcerative colitis. We report a patient who developed an adenocarcinoma in the rectal cuff four years after having a pelvic pouch procedure. This new late complicati...
متن کاملBreath hydrogen analysis in patients with ileoanal pouch anastomosis.
The possible influence on functional outcomes of hydrogen production in the ileoanal pouch after restorative proctocolectomy was investigated by means of lactulose H2 breath tests. Eight of 15 patients had significant increases in breath hydrogen after 10 g lactulose. One patient declined to participate in further investigations, the remaining seven responders had no evidence of small bowel bac...
متن کاملPouch-anal anastomosis vs straight ileoanal anastomosis in pediatric patients: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy is the treatment of choice for pediatric patients with refractory colitis, inherited polyposis syndromes, and some with colonic aganglionosis. Evidence concerning the optimal method of reconstruction is, however, sparse. METHODS Studies comparing outcomes from ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and straight ileoanal anastomosis (SIAA) were identified by...
