Over an 11-year period, 17 salvage procedures were performed on a failed ileal pouch-anal anastomosis carried out for ulcerative colitis from a series of 157 patients. Ten pouches were saved, four excised and three defunctioned. Salvage procedures included five operations for fistulas (three of five successful), six reoperations on the ileoanal anastomosis (five of six successful), three new pouches after previous pouch excision (all failed), and three miscellaneous: excision of an efferent limb (successful), pouchpexy for a pouch prolapse (successful) and postanal repair for incontinence (failed). Pouch salvage may be successful in the motivated patient who wishes to avoid a permanent ileostomy.

De novo Crohn's disease (CD) of the pouch or Crohn's-like Ileal Pouch Illness (CLIPI) is an increasingly common occurrence in an ever-growing ileal pouch population. Although currently undetermined if a subset of classic CD or a completely new entity, it primarily affects the prepouch afferent limb, pouch, and rectal cuff. Symptoms can mimic other more common disorders, such as pouchitis, and requires a thorough workup, including pouchoscopy with biopsy and often cross-sectional imaging, for the diagnosis to be made.

Objective: Magnetic anastomosis is an innovative technique for establishing esophageal continuity in infants born with esophageal atresia. Few case series featuring this technology have been published, with even fewer reports on complications. We present the entire Canadian experience with this approach.

Background: Anastomotic leaks after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) significantly compromise patient outcomes and increase healthcare resource utilization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of endoluminal vacuum therapy (EndoVac) for pouch leaks. We hypothesized that EndoVac for early compared with late leaks was associated with a higher pouch survival rate.
