Results of pouch surgery after ileo-anal anastomosis: the implications of pouchitis

B J Fozard et al. World J Surg. 1992 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

The ileal pouch-anal operation is the procedure of choice for those suitable patients requiring surgery for chronic ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis. The functional results are generally good but pouchitis remains a significant and poorly understood complication. This review encompasses factors relating to pouchitis, e.g., bacteriological, functional and histological changes, with emphasis on its biology and treatment, and the long-term implications.
