The aim of this study was to assess whether restorative proctocolectomy was suitable as an initial procedure for selected familial adenomatous polyposis patients with coexisting colorectal cancer. Six malignancy patients who underwent restorative proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis were reviewed. At the time of restorative proctocolectomy, cancer was not suspected in four patients. The two remaining familial adenomatous polyposis patients had a known associated colorectal cancer. Operative procedures, pathological findings, complications and long-term follow-up were evaluated. All patients were Stage I-II cancers. There was no mortality or pouch failure. No evidence of tumor recurrence was found and all the patients are still alive and disease-free in follow-up (mean 28 months). As an initial procedure, restorative proctocolectomy for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis with coexisting Stage I-II colorectal cancer seems to be a dependable procedure.

Background: Pouchitis is the most common complication of restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). We previously reported the presence of anti-integrin αvβ6 antibodies in the serum of patients with UC. This study investigated the association between anti-integrin αvβ6 antibodies and the development of pouchitis in patients with UC.

Background/aims: The study investigated the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis (CARP) in Korean patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included patients with UC who underwent total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis at the Asan Medical Center in Korea between January 1987 and December 2022. The primary outcomes were endoscopic remission and pouch failure.

Background: Since the ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) was first described, anorectal manometry (ARM) has been used to study its physiology and function. Few studies have investigated if preoperative ARM can predict pouch function.
Methods: Pubmed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched.

Stricture formation is a common complication after restorative proctocolectomy and Kock pouch surgery. Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) is a balloon catheter device that uses impedance planimetry to provide luminal pressure and dimension measurements. This case describes the first use of EndoFLIP to quantify the distensibility and diameter of a Kock pouch stricture before and after endoscopic balloon dilation and needle knife stricturotomy.
