P655 Gene expression alterations suggest that ulcerative colitis patients after restorative proctocolectomy have ileal disease

Ileal-pouch-anal anastomosis after restorative proctocolectomy in patients with ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Restorative proctocolectomy is the "golden standard" in surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. The two alternative techniques of ileal-pouch-anal anastomosis include hand-made suture and double line stapled suture. The aim of the study was the analysis of postoperative complications and functional results of the two types of anastomosis. M...

Ileal Perforation in a Patient with Ulcerative Colitis after Proctocolectomy

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a form of inflammatory bowel disease that typically involves the colorectum; it has been reported that a certain proportion of patients with UC also develop ileitis, leading to ileal perforation in very extreme cases. We report a 66-year-old male with UC who presented with ileal perforation eight days after proctocolectomy. Although this situation is very rare, differ...

Outcome of restorative proctocolectomy with ileal reservoir for ulcerative colitis: comparison of distal colitis with more proximal disease.

BACKGROUND An increasing number of patients with severe or refractory ulcerative colitis involving only the rectum and sigmoid colon are being offered restorative proctocolectomy with ileal reservoir but very few data are available concerning the outcome for these patients. AIM This study was designed to compare the outcome of ileal pouch procedures for distal ulcerative colitis with procedur...

Postoperative changes of manometry after restorative proctocolectomy in Korean ulcerative colitis patients

AIM To investigate the changes of postoperative anal sphincter function and bowel frequency in Korean patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS A total of 127 patients with UC who underwent restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) during 20 years were retrospectively analyzed. The parameters of anal manometry and bowel frequency were compared according to the 6-mo intervals until 24 mo postoper...
