BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2015213662 DESCRIPTION Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the surgical treatment of choice for patients with refractory ulcerative colitis. Long-term complications of this procedure include pouchitis, metabolic complications, strictures, fistulae, pou...

Breath hydrogen analysis in patients with ileoanal pouch anastomosis.

The possible influence on functional outcomes of hydrogen production in the ileoanal pouch after restorative proctocolectomy was investigated by means of lactulose H2 breath tests. Eight of 15 patients had significant increases in breath hydrogen after 10 g lactulose. One patient declined to participate in further investigations, the remaining seven responders had no evidence of small bowel bac...

Ileoanal J-Pouch Prolapse: Successful Laparoscopic Pouchopexy with a Biological Mesh

Proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) has become the standard surgical treatment for patients with intractable ulcerative colitis, undergoing elective resections. This procedure can be performed by an open or laparoscopic approach and is associated with a good quality of life and longterm outcomes [1]. However, there are several well-known complications of the procedure and t...

Pouch-anal anastomosis vs straight ileoanal anastomosis in pediatric patients: a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy is the treatment of choice for pediatric patients with refractory colitis, inherited polyposis syndromes, and some with colonic aganglionosis. Evidence concerning the optimal method of reconstruction is, however, sparse. METHODS Studies comparing outcomes from ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and straight ileoanal anastomosis (SIAA) were identified by...
