Diversion colitis is an iatrogenic disorder related to surgical diversion of the faecal stream from the colorectal mucosa, first described by Morson in 1972. Inflammation of the defunctioned mucosa seems to be related to deprivation of luminal nutrients, in particular short chain fatty acids. Histologic abnormalities include damage of the epithelium and reparative changes with crypt distortion and branching, a mixed acute and chronic inflammatory infiltrate with crypt abscesses and lymphoid hyperplasia, Paneth cell metaplasia and thickening of the muscularis mucosae. We report a case of diversion colitis in a 51-year-old female with Crohn's disease with multiple submucosal microcarcinoids in the rectal stump 17 years after diversion and discuss the hypothesis that hyperplastic and neoplastic lesions of neuroendocrine cells can result from proliferative response to chronic inflammation and repair, as well as epithelial neoplasms.

Diversion colitis is a common phenomenon affecting patients after defunctioning ileostomy. We present a complex case of diversion colitis where the patient was deemed unsuitable for restorative surgery due to multiple areas of stricturing in a long defunctioned colonic segment. Despite initial treatments with rectally administered topical mesalazine, butyrate enemas and topical steroid therapy, the patient remained symptomatic with rectal bleeding and mucus discharge.

This study aimed to optimize mesalamine (MES)-nanoparticles (NPs) using Box Behnken Design and investigate itsantioxidant potential in colon drug targeting. The formulation was prepared using oil/water (O/W) emulsion solvent evaporation technique for time dependent colonic delivery. The optimal formulation with the following parameters composition was selected: polymer concentration (% w/w) (A) = 0.

Introduction: The impact of diverting ileostomy in adults with ulcerative colitis (UC) undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is unclear. This study uses a novel approach with population-level data to identify patients with diverting ileostomy at the time of IPAA and determine the impact of diverting ileostomy on postoperative outcomes.
Methods: Using the International Business Machines (IBM) MarketScan® database, adults (18-64 years old) with a diagnosis of UC who underwent IPAA between 2000 and 2019 were examined.
