Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to estimate the 10-year risk of rectal cancer in patients who had subtotal colectomy, revealing a low cumulative incidence of 0.26% at 5 years, 0.49% at 10 years, and 0.77% at 15 years.
  • - Factors associated with an increased risk of rectal cancer included previous colonic dysplasia, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and history of elective colectomy.
  • - A significant decline in endoscopic surveillance procedures was observed during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with only 333 procedures performed compared to 585 in 2019.

Background: Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the most established restorative operative approach for patients with ulcerative colitis. It has associated morbidity and the potential for major repercussions on quality of life. As such, patient selection is crucial to its success.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) services have been particularly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Delays in referral to secondary care and access to investigations and surgery have been exacerbated.

Aims: To investigate the use of and outcomes for emergency IBD care during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Aim: The continent ileostomy allows evacuation of an ileal reservoir at a time convenient to the patient. It is a surgical option for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) when a restorative option is not suitable or has not succeeded and the patient does not want a conventional end ileostomy. Continent ileostomy types include the Kock pouch, Barnett continent intestinal reservoir and T-pouch.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the clinical presentation, management and outcomes for patients with ileoanal pouch cancer.

Method: Patients who were diagnosed with ileoanal pouch cancer were identified from our polyposis registry (1978-2019) and operative and referral records (2006-2019). Details of presentation, endoscopic surveillance, cancer staging and management were retrieved from hospital records.

Aim: Anastomotic leak causes significant morbidity for patients undergoing pelvic intestinal surgery. Fluoroscopic assessment of anastomotic integrity using water-soluble contrast enema (WSCE) is of questionable benefit over examination alone. We hypothesized that MRI-enema may be more accurate.

Aim: Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), or a 'pouch', allows restoration of intestinal continuity after proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis. Most patients have a good long-term outcome after IPAA, but in a significant proportion the functional outcome and quality of life are unsatisfactory. We term this outcome 'the pouch behaving badly'.

Background: Temporal trends in colectomy rate for ulcerative colitis (UC) are particularly relevant in the current era of published IBD standards and changing approach to salvage of acute severe disease.

Aims: To investigate temporal trends in colectomy for UC using English population data.

Methods: The Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) were interrogated between 2003-2016 with two patient groups investigated independently.

Aim: Prepouch ileitis (PPI) is inflammation of the ileum proximal to an ileoanal pouch, usually associated with pouchitis. The treatment of PPI as a specific entity has been poorly studied, but it is generally treated concurrently with pouchitis. This to our knowledge is the largest study to explore the efficacy of biologics for the specific treatment of PPI.

Background: Pouch excision is required for many of those patients experiencing pouch failure in whom ileostomy alone is inadequate and revision surgery is not appropriate. The published rate of pouch failure is approximately 10% at 10 years, resulting in a growing cohort of patients requiring excision.

Objective: In this article, we aim to describe the indications for excision and postoperative outcomes at our center since 2004.

Background: Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is considered the procedure of choice in patients with ulcerative colitis refractory to medical therapy. Subsequent inflammation of the pouch is a common complication and in some cases, pouchitis fails to respond to antibiotics, the mainstay of treatment. In such cases, corticosteroids, immunomodulatory or biologic treatments are options.

Background: Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis removes the diseased tissue in ulcerative colitis but also allows gastrointestinal continuity and stoma-free living. Pouch strictures are a complication with a reported incidence of 5-38%. The three areas where pouch strictures occur are in the pouch inlet, mid-pouch and pouch-anal anastomosis.
