Background: Small bowel obstructions (SBOs) are a common complication following staged IPAA. Our goal was to compare early post-operative SBO outcomes between different staged ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and to further analyze the type of procedures required in patients who needed operative management of SBO.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we selected all patients who presented to our tertiary care center between 2008 and 2017, with ulcerative colitis or IBD-Unspecified colitis and who underwent a primary total proctocolectomy with IPAA for medically refractory disease or dysplasia (n = 623).
Background And Aims: Acute severe ulcerative colitis (UC) (ASUC) requiring hospitalization affects up to 1 in 4 patients with UC. There is a paucity of prospective and multicenter clinical cohorts to study treatment trends and predictors of disease outcomes. Here, we conduct a US-based multicenter prospective clinical cohort of ASUC to study predictors of the need for medical rescue therapy and colectomy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIleoanal pouch-related fistula (IAPRF) is a possible complication after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis that significantly impacts pouch prognosis and the patient's quality of life. This study aimed to perform a comprehensive narrative review to better classify the epidemiology, risk factors, etiology, management, and outcomes of IAPRF, and to propose an algorithm for its systematic classification. Ten studies comprising 664 patients with IAPRF were identified, with a prevalence ranging from 4% to 45%.

Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study of patients older than 18 years with CDLPI on therapy.
Results: Among 110 included patients with CDLPI in clinical remission, endoscopic remission was not significantly associated with a reduced risk of subsequent pouchitis when compared with endoscopic response.
Introduction: The impact of pregnancy on the development of pouchitis in women who have undergone total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis is poorly understood.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of women with ulcerative colitis who underwent total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis and subsequently became pregnant at Mount Sinai Hospital. The primary outcome was acute pouchitis during pregnancy or the postpartum period defined as symptoms of increased stool frequency and urgency treated with antibiotics.
Introduction: To better inform the risk of cuffitis in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), we aimed to identify its occurrence and associated precolectomy factors in a large multicenter cohort of patients who underwent restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with stapled ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA).
Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort analysis of individuals diagnosed with UC or indeterminate colitis who underwent RPC with IPAA for refractory disease or dysplasia at Mount Sinai Hospital or the University of Chicago followed by at least 1 pouchoscopy with report of the pouch-anal anastomosis. The primary outcome was cuffitis defined as ulceration of the cuff as reported in each pouchoscopy report.
Introduction: There is a paucity of data on the real-world effectiveness of therapies in patients with Crohn's disease of the pouch.
Methods: This was a prospective multicenter study evaluating the primary outcome of remission at 12 months of therapy for Crohn's disease of the pouch.
Results: One hundred thirty-four patients were enrolled.
Background: Micronutrient deficiencies may occur after restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), largely due to malabsorption and/or pouch inflammation.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to report the frequency of iron deficiency in patients with UC who underwent RPC with IPAA and identify associated risk factors.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients with UC or IBD-unclassified who underwent RPC with IPAA at Mount Sinai Hospital between 2008 and 2017.

Methods: We analyzed dietary patterns at enrollment in a prospective registry of patients with 1 of 4 inflammatory conditions of the pouch (acute pouchitis, chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis, chronic antibiotic refractory pouchitis, and Crohn's disease of the pouch). We analyzed dietary intake by disease activity at enrollment and then compared dietary patterns among patients who remained in remission throughout the 12-month follow-up to those patients who experienced a disease relapse.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic chronic inflammatory disease of the colon with sharply rising global prevalence. Dysfunctional epithelial compartment (EC) dynamics are implicated in UC pathogenesis although EC-specific studies are sparse. Applying orthogonal high-dimensional EC profiling to a Primary Cohort (PC; n=222), we detail major epithelial and immune cell perturbations in active UC.

Aim: Rates of pouch failure after total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) range from 5% to 18%. There is little consistency across studies regarding the factors associated with failure, and most include patients who underwent IPAA in the pre-biologic era. Our aim was to analyse a cohort of patients who underwent IPAA in the biologic era at a large-volume inflammatory bowel disease institution to better determine preoperative, perioperative and postoperative factors associated with pouch failure.
