Aim Surgical technique constantly evolves in response to the pressure of progress. Ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is a good example. We analysed the effect of changes in practice on the technique of IPAA and its outcomes. Method Patients undergoing primary IPAA at this institution were divided into three groups by date of the IPAA: those operated from 1983 to 1993, from 1994 to 2004 and from 2005 to 2015. Demographics, patient comorbidity, surgical techniques, postoperative outcomes, pouch function and quality of life were analysed. Results In all, 4525 patients had a primary IPAA. With each decade, increasing numbers of surgeons were involved (decade I, 8; II, 16; III, 31), patients tended to be sicker (higher American Society of Anesthesiologists score) and three‐staged pouches became more common. After an initial popularity of the S pouch, J pouches became dominant and a mucosectomy rate of 12% was standard. The laparoscopic technique blossomed in the last decade. 90‐day postoperative morbidity by decade was 38.3% vs 50% vs 48% (P < 0.0001), but late morbidity decreased from 74.2% through 67.1% to 30% (P < 0.0001). Functional results improved, but quality of life scores did not. Pouch survival rate at 10 years was maintained (94% vs 95.2% vs 95.2%; P = 0.06). Conclusion IPAA is still evolving. Despite new generations of surgeons, a more accurate diagnosis, appropriate staging and the laparoscopic technique have made IPAA a safer, more effective and enduring operation.
POCs are associated with adverse oncologic outcomes, with increasing effect with higher Clavien-Dindo score. Efforts to reduce both the incidence and severity of complications should result in improved oncologic outcomes.
This nomogram serves as a diagnostic tool to distinguish normal patients from those with 1°HP, particularly those with atypical presentations. This recognition would permit previously observed patients to benefit from curative surgery.
BACKGROUND: Risk factors for pouch survival may or may not have a linear relationship with pouch loss over time. Conditional survival is a method to describe these nonlinear time-to-event relationships by reporting the expected survival at various time points. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to calculate conditional pouch survival based on occurrence of risk factors for pouch loss. DESIGN: This was a retrospective study from an institutional database. SETTINGS: The study was conducted at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. PATIENTS: Patients with ulcerative or indeterminate colitis who underwent index IPAA construction between 1986 and 2016 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patients were stratified based on postoperative anastomotic leak, abscess, or fistula occurrence. The Kaplan–Meier method with conditional survival was used to estimate overall and cause-specific survival at 10 years. RESULTS: A total of 3468 patients underwent IPAA during the study period. The overall 10-year pouch survival rate was 0.94 (95% CI, 0.93–0.95), and after 1 year the conditional pouch survival increased to 0.95 (95% CI, 0.94–0.96), after 3 years to 0.97 (95% CI, 0.96–0.98), and after 5 years to 0.98 (95% CI, 0.98–0.99). A total of 122 patients (3.5%) developed anastomotic leak, and the 10-year IPAA survival in patients with leak was 0.85 (95% CI, 0.77–0.93). In this group, after 1 year of pouch survival, the conditional pouch survival increased to 0.89 (95% CI, 0.82–0.96) and after 3 years to 0.98 (95% CI, 0.94–1.00). A similar pattern was seen for IPAA with postoperative abscess. The conditional survival curve was stable over time for patients with a fistula. LIMITATIONS: This was a retrospective, single-institution study. CONCLUSIONS: Overall conditional pouch survival improved over time for patients with postoperative anastomotic leak and abscess. These novel findings can be useful to counsel patients regarding expectations for long-term pouch survival even if they develop leaks and abscesses.

SUPERVIVENCIA CONDICIONAL DESPUÉS DE ANASTOMOSIS CON BOLSA ÍLEO ANAL, PARA COLITIS ULCERATIVA E INDETERMINADA: ¿LA SOBREVIDA DE LA BOLSA A LARGO PLAZO, MEJORA O EMPEORA CON EL TIEMPO? ANTECEDENTES: Los factores de riesgo para la sobrevida de la bolsa, pueden o no tener una relación lineal con la pérdida de la bolsa y con el tiempo. La supervivencia condicional es un método para describir estas relaciones no lineales de tiempo, hasta el evento informando la supervivencia esperada en varios puntos de tiempo. OBJETIVO: El objetivo de este estudio fue calcular la supervivencia condicional de la bolsa, en función de aparición de factores de riesgo para la pérdida de bolsa. DISEÑO: Estudio retrospectivo de una base de datos institucional. AJUSTES: Cleveland Clinic Foundation. PACIENTES: Pacientes con colitis ulcerativa o indeterminada, sometidos a una anastomosis de bolsa íleo anal, de 1986 a 2016. PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO: Los pacientes fueron estratificados en función de la fuga anastomótica postoperatoria, absceso o aparición de fístula. El método de Kaplan Meier con supervivencia condicional, se utilizó para estimar la supervivencia general y la causa específica a los 10 años. RESULTADOS: Un total de 3.468 pacientes fueron sometidos a anastomosis ileal con bolsa anal durante el período de estudio. La tasa de supervivencia global de la bolsa a 10 años, fue de 0,94 (0,93 a 0,95), y después de 1 año, la supervivencia condicional de la bolsa aumentó a 0,95 (0,94 a 0,96), después de 3 años a 0,97 (0,96 a 0,98) y después de 5 años a 0.98 (0.98 - 0.99). Un total de 122 (3,5%) pacientes desarrollaron fuga anastomótica, y la supervivencia de la anastomosis de bolsa íleo anal a 10 años en pacientes con fuga fue de 0,85 (IC del 95%: 0,77 a 0,93). En este grupo, después de 1 año de supervivencia de la bolsa, la supervivencia condicional de la bolsa aumentó a 0,89 (IC del 95%: 0,82 a 0,96), y después de 3 años a 0,98 (IC del 95%: 0,94 a 1). Se observó un patrón similar para la anastomosis de bolsa íleo anal con absceso postoperatorio. La curva de supervivencia condicional fue estable en el tiempo para los pacientes con una fístula. LIMITACIONES: Estudio retrospectivo, de una sola institución. CONCLUSIONES: La supervivencia condicional global de la bolsa, mejoró con el tiempo para pacientes con fuga anastomótica postoperatoria y absceso. Estos nuevos hallazgos pueden ser útiles para aconsejar a los pacientes con respecto a las expectativas de supervivencia de la bolsa a largo plazo, incluso si desarrollan fugas y abscesos.

BACKGROUND: Nonspecific acute pouchitis is common in patients with ulcerative colitis who undergo IPAA, but there is disagreement about the rate at which this occurs in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to define the rate at which nonspecific acute pouchitis occurs in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. SETTING: This study was conducted at a hereditary colorectal cancer center in a large academic medical center. DESIGN: This is a retrospective cohort study using prospectively gathered data. PATIENTS: Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who have had IPAA were included. INTERVENTIONS: Symptoms, pouchoscopy and pouch radiography, and pouch biopsy were evaluated. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcomes measured were the presence of nonspecific acute pouchitis and the alternative diagnosis of pouch dysfunction. RESULTS: There were 250 patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who had undergone IPAA; 38 (15.2%) had been labeled as having “pouchitis”: 23 men and 15 women. Median age was 55 years (range, 18–90 years). No patient had nonspecific, acute pouchitis as defined by our criteria. In 9 cases, the diagnosis was derived from benign ulcers common in ileal pouches. Stool frequency was the most common symptom associated with the “pouchitis” label, but actual causes for the frequency included poor pouch emptying, poor eating habits, poor bowel habits, and afferent limb syndrome. Median stool frequency was 9, ranging from 4 to 15 per day. Every patient had at least 1 pouch endoscopy, and the median number was 19 per patient (range, 1–21). Nine patients had pouch biopsies to rule out inflammation; all showed chronic active enteritis, a normal finding in ileal pouches. LIMITATIONS: This study was limited by its retrospective nature. CONCLUSIONS: We could not confirm any case of nonspecific acute pouchitis in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. Those caring for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who have a pouch should seek causes for pouch-related symptoms other than “pouchitis.” See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B666. POUCHITIS AGUDA INESPECÍFICA EN PACIENTES CON POLIPOSIS ADENOMATOSA FAMILIAR: MENOS COMÚN DE LO QUE PENSAMOS ANTECEDENTES: La pouchitis aguda e inespecífica es común en pacientes con colitis ulcerativa, sometidos a anastomosis de bolsa ileoanal, pero no hay acuerdo sobre la frecuencia en que se presenta en pacientes con poliposis adenomatosa familiar (PAF). OBJETIVO: Definir la frecuencia en la que se presenta pouchitis aguda inespecífica en pacientes con poliposis adenomatosa familiar. ENTORNO CLINICO: Centro de cáncer colorrectal hereditario en un gran centro médico académico. DISEÑO: Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo utilizando datos recopilados prospectivamente. PACIENTES: Pacientes con poliposis adenomatosa familiar sometidos a bolsa con anastomosis ileoanal. INTERVENCIONES: Síntomas, proctoscopia, radiografía y biopsia de bolsa ileoanal. PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE VALORACION: Presencia de p...
