Long-term follow-up after ileoanal pouch procedure: algorithm for diagnosis, classification, and management of pouchitis

Diseases of the Colon and Rectum

Abstract

Inflammation of the ileoanal pouch (pouchitis) is one of the main complications after restorative proctocolectomy, yet its cause remains poorly understood. A standardized definition and diagnostic procedures in pouchitis are lacking. We analyzed all cases of pouchitis occurring in a group of 308 patients (210 with ulcerative colitis, 98 with familial adenomatous polyposis) who took part in a prospective long-term follow-up program. The severity of pouchitis was measured using a pouchitis activity score (Heidelberg Pouchitis Activity Score). An algorithm for the classification and management of pouchitis was established which enables the clinician: 1) to determine the severity of pouchitis, 2) to differentiate between primary pouchitis and pouchitis caused by surgical complications (secondary pouchitis), and 3) to evaluate the course (acute vs. chronic (> 3 months)). The median duration of follow-up was 48 (range, 13-119) months. At least one episode of pouchitis was diagnosed in 29 percent of patients with ulcerative colitis and in 2 percent of familial adenomatous polyposis patients. Secondary pouchitis occurred in 6 percent of ulcerative colitis patients and was cured by surgical treatment in 13 (87 percent) of 15 cases. Prim...Continue Reading
