Pediatric ileal pouch-anal anastomosis: functional outcomes and quality of life

Outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing straight vs J pouch ileoanal anastomosis: a multicenter analysis

“…This finding is similar to that observed by the meta-analysis of pediatric series by Tilney [22] and other recent series [27]. One of the most profound complications after a pull-through is incontinence, particularly during the daytime.…”

Surgical complications in relation to functional outcomes after ileoanal anastomosis in pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis

“…Because of its superior long-term functional results, proctocolectomy with a J-pouch IAA (JPIAA) has gained popularity in relation to straight IAA (SIAA). After both procedures, good patient satisfaction and improvement in quality of life have been reported [1][2][3][4]. Since 1991, JPIAA has been used primarily in restorative proctocolectomy for children with UC in our institution.…”

Prospective Study of Health-Related Quality of Life and Restorative Proctocolectomy in Children

“…Functional outcomes were generally excellent and almost all HRQOL domains were normal with the exception of the general health scale. 16 In another retrospective evaluation of 27 pediatric patients after restorative proctocolectomy for UC, a satisfaction survey was completed by the patients (median age, 15 y; median follow-up, 3.7 y). Seventeen patients (63%) were completely satisfied with the operation, 9 patients (33%) found the result fairly good, and one patient (4%) was not satisfied.…”
