Background: Restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA is the surgical treatment of choice for patients requiring surgery for IBD and, less frequently, for other pathologies. Pouch prolapse is a rare complication that compromises pouch function and negatively affects patients' quality of life.
Objective: This study aimed to describe our experience from a single high-volume center in this infrequent condition.
Design: Restrospective cohort study of a prospectively maintained, Institutional Review Board-approved database.
Settings: All consecutive eligible patients with IPAA and pouch prolapse were identified from 1990 to 2021.
Patients: Patients with full-thickness prolapse treated by pouch pexy were included.
Interventions: Pouch pexy (with/without mesh).
Main Outcome Measures: Success rate of pouch pexy, defined as no recurrence of prolapse.
Results: A total of 4791 patients underwent IPAA; 7 (0.1%) were diagnosed with full-thickness prolapse. An additional 18 patients who underwent IPAA and had full-thickness prolapse were referred from outside institutions. Among 25 included patients, 16 (64.0%) were women, and the overall mean age was 35.6 ± 13.4 years. The time interval from initial pouch formation to prolapse was 4.2 (interquartile range, 1.1-8.5) years. Nine patients (36.0%) underwent previous treatment for prolapse. All patients presented with symptoms and physical examination compatible with full-thickness prolapse. Twenty patients (80.0%) underwent surgical pouch pexy without mesh and 5 (20.0%) had pouch pexy with mesh placement. A diverting ileostomy was performed in 1 patient (4.0%) before pouch pexy and in 8 patients (32.0%) at the time of surgical prolapse correction. After surgery, recurrent prolapse was noted in 3 patients (12.0%) at a median of 6.9 (interquartile range, 5.2-8.3) months.
Limitations: Retrospective study, small sample size thus prone to selection, and referral biases, which may limit the generalizability of our findings.
Conclusion: Pouch prolapse can be effectively treated with salvage surgery. Surgical intervention is safe and provides acceptable outcomes. See Video Abstract.
Ciruga De Rescate Una Terapia Eficaz En El Manejo Del Prolapso De La Bolsa Ileoanal: ANTECEDENTES:La proctocolectomía restauradora con anastomosis reservorio ileoanal es el tratamiento quirúrgico de elección para aquellos pacientes que requieren cirugía por enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal y, con menor frecuencia, por otras patologías. El prolapso de la bolsa es una complicación rara que compromete la función de la bolsa y afecta de manera negativa la calidad de vida de los pacientes.OBJETIVO:Describir nuestra experiencia de un solo centro de alto volumen en esta condición poco frecuente.DISEÑO:Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo de una base de datos mantenida prospectivamente aprobada por el IRB.AJUSTES/PACIENTES:Fueron identificados y elegibles de manera consecutiva todos los pacientes con anastomosis de bolsa ileoanal y prolapso de bolsa entre 1990 y 2021. Se incluyeron pacientes con prolapso de bolsa de espesor total tratados con pexia.INTERVENCIONES:Pexia de la bolsa (con/sin malla).PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Tasa de éxito de la pexia de la bolsa, definida como ausencia de recurrencia del prolapso.RESULTADOS:Un total de 4.791 pacientes fueron sometidos a anastomosis de bolsa ileoanal; siete (0,1%) fueron diagnosticados con prolapso de espesor total. Otros 18 pacientes con anastomosis de reservorio ileoanal fueron derivados de instituciones externas. De entre los 25 pacientes incluidos, 16 (64,0 %) eran mujeres y la edad media promedio fue de 35,6+/-13,4 años. El intervalo de tiempo desde la creación inicial de la bolsa hasta el prolapso fue de 4,2 (IQR 1,1-8,5) años. Nueve (36,0 %) pacientes fueron sometidos a tratamiento previo para el prolapso (fisioterapia n = 4, pexia de la bolsa n = 2, pexia de la bolsa con malla n = 2, resección de la mucosa n = 1). Todos los pacientes presentaron síntomas y exploración física compatibles con prolapso de espesor total. Veinte (80,0%) pacientes se sometieron a pexia de bolsa quirúrgica sin malla y cinco (20,0%) se sometieron a pexia de bolsa con colocación de malla. Se realizó una ileostomía de derivación en un (4,0%) paciente antes de la pexia de la bolsa y en ocho (32,0%) pacientes en el momento de la corrección quirúrgica del prolapso. Posterior a la cirugía, se observó prolapso recurrente en tres pacientes (12,0 %) con una mediana de 6,9 (IQR 5,2-8,3) meses.LIMITACIONES:Estudio retrospectivo, pequeño tamaño de muestra, por lo tanto, propenso a sesgos de selección y referencia que pueden limitar la generalización de nuestros hallazgos.CONCLUSIÓN:El prolapso de la bolsa ileoanal puede tratarse de manera efectiva mediante la cirugía de rescate. La intervención quirúrgica es segura y proporciona resultados aceptables. (Traducción-Dr. Mauricio Santamaria ).

Neorectal prolapse following proctectomy for cancer has seldom been reported and treatment has mostly consisted in the resection of the prolapse via a perineal approach. Management of a patient with neorectal J-pouch prolapse using mesh sacral pexy via an abdominal approach is reported. By analogy with native rectal prolapse due to pelvic static disorders, laparoscopic mesh sacral pexy is likely to afford the same advantages of low morbidity and durability when applied to neorectal prolapse following rectal cancer surgery.

The ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is a commonly accepted neorectum after total proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis and ulcerative colitis. Generally, patients have decent bowel control, but ileal pouches are not without complications. One relatively uncommon complication is ileal pouch prolapse.

Aim: Minimally invasive approaches to proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis have become the standard of care with one benefit being the reduced risk of adhesion-related complications. However, a lack of pouch adherence to the pelvis can lead to increased mobility as well as volvulization, placing pouch viability at risk. We aimed to describe our institutional experience with pouch volvulus.
