OBJECTIVE The aim of this manuscript is to verify the impact that some recanalization procedures for intestinal continuity could have in bowel function and quality of life. STUDY MATERIAL We describe a clinical case of a rectal cancer patient who underwent anterior resection of the rectum with colo-anal anastomosis, colo-plasty and diverting ileostomy. RESULTS After the diverting ileostomy ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the application value of a spontaneously closed protective stoma (SCPS) in an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, which is a novel procedure first performed in our hospital in 2008. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two males cases with ulcerative colitis and one female with familial adenomatous polyposis were treated with colorectal surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang U...

Pouchitis is a common complication that develops after an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis after colectomy for ulcerative colitis. In some cases, pouchitis becomes chronic and refractory to conventional therapies including antibiotics, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, probiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs. We report a case of an adolescent with chronic pouchitis who not only improved with infli...

background: besides medical therapy, surgical interventions plays an important role in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (ibd), but they also involve complications and advantages. this study was undertaken to determine the characteristics and outcome of surgery in patients with ibd. â  methods: all the files of the patients admitted in nemazee and faghihi hospitals with the final diag...

Pouchitis is the most common complication among patients with ulcerative colitis who have undergone restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Pouchitis is actually a spectrum of diseases that vary in etiology, pathogenesis, phenotype, and clinical course. Although initial acute episodes typically respond to antibiotic therapy, patients can become dependent on antibiotics or...

The aim of this study was to determine what factors are important for the achievement of perfect anal continence after restorative proctocolectomy. One hundred patients underwent paired studies of anorectal physiology before and one year after restorative proctocolectomy with pelvic ileal reservoir (11 S, 25 J, 64 W) with stapled ileoanal anastomosis, without mucosectomy. Fifty seven patients a...

OBJECTIVE Retrospective proctocolectomy is a distinguished, sphincter saving treatment used for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and FAP disease. We aimed to evaluate ileal pouch interventions performed at our clinic and their results in the light of literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS Medical records of 35 restorative proctocolectomy and J pouch ileo-anal anastomosis surgeries performed at N...

BACKGROUND/AIMS We aimed to evaluate postoperative fecal incontinence scales of children who underwent laparoscopic proctocolectomy and ileal J-pouch anastomosis for familial adenomateous polyposis (FAP) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fecal incontinence scores were collected at 3 months post-surgery. A retrospective chart review was also performed to obtain the de...
