Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis: 30-year analysis on surgical evolution and patient outcome
Significant changes in the management of ulcerative colitis patients occurred. Despite the widespread use of advanced therapies and the expanded surgical indications, anastomotic leakage rate decreased over time. In the context of a delayed ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, diverting ileostomy could be avoided in selected cases. Anastomotic leakage remains the most relevant risk factor for pouch failure. Pouch failure incidence remained stable over the years.
