RESUMO
BACKGROUND: There is a paradigm shift in the management of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) from conventional neoadjuvant treatment to total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT). Despite its growing acceptance, there are limited studies that have examined its effects on disease presentation. In addition, it is important to determine the factors that play a role in complete response (CR). Our previous data from 119 patients revealed that the CR rate was 37%, and low rectal tumors and the absence of extramural vascular invasion (EMVI) were predictors of CR. Unfortunately, there continues to be a lack of data, and reliable markers are still needed to consistently identify the best respondents. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the factors associated with CR. Moreover, this study hypothesized that both predictive factors and the CR ratio might evolve over time because of the growing patient population. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who completed TNT for LARC at our tertiary care center between 2015 and 2022. The primary outcome was to determine the predictors of CR. The secondary outcomes were the 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate. CR consists of patients who sustained clinical CR (cCR) for at least 12 months under watch and wait or had pathologic CR (pCR) after surgery. RESULTS: Of 339 patients with LARC, 208 (61.3%) successfully completed TNT. Among 208 patients, 57 (27.4%) achieved cCR, and 166 (80.0%) sustained cCR without tumor regrowth after 1 year. The remaining 151 patients (72.6%) underwent surgery, and 42 patients had pCR. The final CR rate was 42.3%. The median age of the patients was 56 years (IQR, 49-66). Moreover, 132 participants (63.5%) were male, whereas 76 participants (36.5%) were female. The median tumor size was 4.95 cm (IQR, 3.60-6.43), with most tumors in the low rectum (119 [57.2%]). Based on the MRI findings, the mesorectal facia (MRF) involvement rate was 25.0% (n = 52), and EMVI was observed in 43 patients (20.7%). Low rectal tumors, the absence of MRF involvement, and the absence of EMVI were predictors of CR. With a median follow-up of 24.7 months, 2-year DFS and OS were significantly higher among patients with CR than among patients with incomplete response (91.3% vs 71.0% [P < .01] and 98.8% vs 90.2% [P = .03], respectively). CONCLUSION: An increasing CR rate was observed in our updated dataset compared with that in our previous study. In addition to previously identified predictors, low tumor location, and the absence of EMVI, the absence of MRF involvement was determined as a predictor of CR. Our findings offer valuable insights into clinical practice and help clinicians set clear expectations when counseling patients.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Herein, we present a proof-of-concept study of 3-dimensional (3D) pouchography using virtual and printed 3D models of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in patients with normal pouches and in cases of mechanical pouch complications. MATERIALS & METHODS: We performed a retrospective, descriptive case series of a convenience sample of 10 pouch patients with or without pouch dysfunction who had CT scans appropriate for segmentation were identified from our pouch registry. The steps involved in clinician-driven automated 3D reconstruction are presented. RESULTS: Three patients who underwent CT imaging and were found to have no primary pouch pathology, and seven patients with known pouch pathology identifiable with 3D reconstruction including pouch strictures, megapouch, pouch volvulus, and twisted pouches underwent 3D virtual modeling; one normal and one twisted pouch were 3D printed. We discovered that 3D pouchography reliably identified staple lines (pouch body, anorectal circular and transverse, and tip of J), the relationship between staple lines, and variations in pouch morphology, and pouch pathology. CONCLUSIONS: Three-dimensional reconstruction of IPAA morphology is highly feasible using readily available technology. In our practice, we have found 3D pouchography to be an extremely useful adjunct to diagnose various mechanical pouch complications and improve planning for pouch salvage strategies. Given its ease of use and helpfulness in understanding the pouch structure and function, we have started to routinely integrate 3D pouchography into our clinical pouch referral practice. Further study is needed to formally assess to value of this technique to aid in the diagnosis of pouch pathology.
RESUMO
AIM: Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the treatment of choice for colorectal cancer (CRC) in inflammatory bowel disease. CRC may also be discovered incidentally at IPAA for other indications. We sought to determine whether incidentally found CRC at IPAA was associated with worse outcomes. METHODS: Our institutional pouch registry (1983-2021) was retrospectively reviewed. Patients with CRC at pathology after IPAA were divided into two groups: a preoperative diagnosis (PreD) group and an incidental diagnosis (InD) group. Their long-term outcomes (overall survival, disease-free survival and pouch survival) were compared. RESULTS: We included 164 patients: 53 (32%) InD and 111 (68%) PreD. There were no differences in cancer staging, differentiation and location. After a median follow-up of 11 (IQR 3-25) years for InD and 9 (IQR 3-20) years for the PreD group, deaths were 14 (26%) in the InD group and 18 (16%) in the PreD group. Pouch failures were five (9%) in the InD group and nine (8%) in the PreD group, of which two (5%) and four (4%) were cancer related. Ten-year overall survival was 94% for InD and 89% for PreD (P = 0.41), disease-free survival was 95% for InD and 90% for PreD (P = 0.685) and pouch survival was 89% for InD and 97% for PreD (P = 0.80). Pouch survival at 10 years was lower in rectal versus colon cancer (87% vs. 97%, P = 0.01). No difference was found in outcomes in handsewn versus stapled anastomoses. CONCLUSION: Inflammatory bowel disease patients with incidentally found CRC during IPAA appear to have similarly excellent oncological and pouch outcomes to patients with a preoperative cancer diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: Up to 20% to 40% cases of redo IPAA procedures will result in pouch failure. Whether to offer a second redo procedure to maintain intestinal continuity remains a controversial decision. OBJECTIVE: To report our institutional experience of second redo IPAA procedures. DESIGN: This was a retrospective review. Patient-reported outcomes were compared between patients undergoing second redo procedures and those undergoing first redo procedures using propensity score matching to balance the 2 cohorts. SETTINGS: Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Patients who underwent second redo IPAA procedures between 2004 and 2021 were included in this study. INTERVENTIONS: Second redo IPAA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pouch survival and patient-reported outcomes were measured using the Cleveland Global Quality of Life survey. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients were included (65% women), 20 (87%) with an index diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and 3 (13%) with indeterminate colitis. The final diagnosis was changed to Crohn's disease in 8 (35%) cases. The indication for pouch salvage was the same for the first and second redo procedures in 21 (91%) cases: 20 (87%) patients had both redo IPAAs for septic complications. After a median follow-up of 39 months (interquartile range, 18.5-95.5 months), pouch failure occurred in 8 (30%) cases (7 cases due to sepsis, of whom 3 never had their stoma closed, and 1 case due to poor function); all patients who experienced pouch failure underwent the second redo procedure due to septic complications. Overall pouch survival at 3 years was 76%: 62.5% in patients with a final diagnosis of Crohn's disease versus 82.5% in patients with ulcerative/indeterminate colitis ( p = 0.09). Overall quality-of-life score (0-1) was 0.6 (0.5-0.8). Quality of life and functional outcomes were comparable between first and second redo procedures, except incontinence, which was higher in second redo procedures. LIMITATIONS: Single-center retrospective review. CONCLUSIONS: A second pouch salvage procedure may be offered with acceptable outcomes to selected patients with high motivation to keep intestinal continuity. See Video Abstract .

El diagnóstico final se cambió a enfermedad de Crohn en ocho (35%) casos. La indicación para el rescate de la bolsa fue la misma para la primera y segunda re-confeccion en 21 (91%) casos: 20 (87%) pacientes tuvieron ambas re-confecciones de la anastomosis anal con bolsa ileal por complicaciones sépticas. Después de una mediana de seguimiento de 39 meses (RIC 18,5 - 95,5), se produjo falla de la bolsa en 8 (30%) casos (7 casos debido a sepsis, de los cuales 3 nunca cerraron el estoma y 1 caso debido a una mala función); todos los pacientes que experimentaron falla de la bolsa se sometieron a una segunda re-confeccion debido a complicaciones sépticas. La supervivencia global de la bolsa a los 3 años fue del 76%: 62,5% en pacientes con diagnóstico final de enfermedad de Crohn, versus 82,5% en colitis ulcerativa/indeterminada ( p = 0,09). La puntuación general de calidad de vida (0 -1) fue 0,6 (0,5 - 0,8). La calidad de vida y los resultados funcionales fueron comparables entre la primera y la segunda re-confeccion, excepto la incontinencia, que fue mayor en la segunda re-confeccion.LIMITACIONES:Revisión retrospectiva de un solo centro.CONCLUSIONES:Se puede ofrecer un segundo procedimiento de rescate de la bolsa con resultados aceptables a pacientes seleccionados con alta motivación para mantener la continuidad intestinal.

BACKGROUND: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of colorectal cancer. In cases of invisible or nonendoscopically resectable dysplasia found at colonoscopy, total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis can be offered with good long-term outcomes; however, little is known regarding cancer-related outcomes when dysplasia is found incidentally after surgery on final pathology. METHODS: Using our prospectively collected pouch registry, we identified patients who had preoperative colonic dysplasia or dysplasia found only after colectomy. Patients with cancer preoperatively or after colectomy were excluded. Included patients were divided into 3 groups: PRE (+preoperative biopsy, negative final pathology), BOTH (+preoperative biopsy and final pathology), and POST (negative preoperative biopsy, +final pathology). Long-term outcomes in the 3 groups were assessed. RESULTS: In total, 517 patients were included: PREâ =â 125, BOTHâ =â 254, POSTâ =â 137. After a median follow-up of 12 years (IQR 3-21), there were no differences in overall, disease-free, or pouch survival between groups. Cancer/dysplasia developed in 11 patients: 3 (2%) in the PRE, 5 (2%) in the BOTH, and 3 (2%) in the POST group. Only 1 cancer-related death occurred in the entire cohort (PRE group). Disease-free survival at 10 years was 98% for all groups (P = .97). Pouch survival at 10 years was 96% for PRE, 99% for BOTH, and 97% for POST (P = .24). CONCLUSIONS: The incidental finding of dysplasia on final pathology after proctocolectomy was not associated with worsened outcomes compared with preoperatively diagnosed dysplasia.
In this study on 517 patients with inflammatory bowel disease who underwent total colectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis with a finding of dysplasia in their colectomy specimen, outcomes were comparable regardless of known dysplasia vs incidental finding.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Pouch failure after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis occurs in 5% to 15% of cases, mostly due to septic complications. We aimed to determine if the timing of pouch failure impacted long-term outcomes for redo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis after sepsis-related complications. METHOD: We retrospectively analyzed our prospectively collected institutional pouch database. Patients who underwent redo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for septic complications between 1988 and 2020 were divided into an early (pouch failure within 6 months of stoma closure after index operation, or stoma never closed) and a late failure group (pouch failure after 6 months of stoma closure). The primary endpoint was pouch survival. RESULTS: In total, 335 patients were included: 241 (72%) in the early and 94 (28%) in the late failure group. The most common indication for failure was an anastomotic leak in the early failure group (163, 68%) and fistula in the late failure group (59, 63%), P < .001. Pouch survival at 3, 5, and 10 years was 77%, 75%, and 72% for the early and 79%, 75%, and 68% for the late failure group (P = .94). The most common reason for redo pouch failure was fistula in both groups. Quality of life was similar in both groups. In multivariate analysis, the only factor associated with pouch failure was the final diagnosis of Crohn's disease. CONCLUSION: Outcomes after redo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis were comparable between patients with early and late sepsis-related index pouch failure, with acceptable rates of long-term pouch survival and good quality of life.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of liver transplantation (LT) on ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) outcomes in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis and inflammatory bowel disease (PSC-IBD). BACKGROUND: Patients with PSC-IBD may require both IPAA for colitis and LT for PSC. METHODS: Patients with PSC-IBD from out institutional pouch registry (1985-2022) were divided according to LT status and timing of LT (before and after IPAA) and their outcomes analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 160 patients were included: 112 (70%) nontransplanted at last follow-up; 48 (30%) transplanted, of which 23 (14%) before IPAA and 25 (16%) after. Nontransplanted patients at IPAA had more laparoscopic procedures [37 (46%) vs 8 (18%), P =0.002] and less blood loss (median 250 vs 400 mL, P =0.006). Morbidity and mortality at 90 days were similar. Chronic pouchitis was higher in transplanted compared with nontransplanted patients [32 (67%) vs 51 (45.5%), P =0.03], but nontransplanted patients had a higher rate of chronic antibiotic refractory pouchitis. Overall survival was similar, but nontransplanted patients had more PSC-related deaths (12.5% vs 2%, P =0.002). Pouch survival at 10 years was 90% for nontransplanted patients and 100% for transplanted patients (log-rank P =0.052). Timing of LT had no impact on chronic pouchitis, pouch failure, or overall survival. PSC recurrence was 6% at 10 years. For transplanted patients, graft survival was similar regardless of IPAA timing. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with PSC-IBD and IPAA, LT is linked to an increased pouchitis rate but does not affect overall and pouch survival. Timing of LT does not influence short-term and long-term pouch outcomes.

BACKGROUND: A permanent stoma is frequently recommended in the setting of complex or recurrent rectovaginal fistulas because of the high failure rate of reconstructive procedures. The Turnbull-Cutait pull-through procedure is a salvage operation for motivated patients desiring to avoid permanent fecal diversion. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the cure rates of complex rectovaginal fistulas after the Turnbull-Cutait pull-through procedure based on cause. DESIGN: After the institutional review approval board, a retrospective review of women who underwent the procedure (1993-2018) for a rectovaginal fistula was conducted. Patients' demographics, cause, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. SETTING: Colorectal surgery department at a tertiary center in the United States. PATIENTS: Adult women with a rectovaginal fistula who underwent a colonic pull-through procedure were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Recurrence after the colonic pull-through procedure. RESULTS: There were 81 patients who underwent colonic pull-through; of those, 26 patients had a rectovaginal fistula, had a median age of 51 (43-57) years, and had a mean BMI of 28 ± 3.2 kg/m 2 . A total of 4 patients (15%) had a recurrence and 85% of the patients healed. Ninety-three percent of the patients healed after the prior anastomotic leak. Patients with a Crohn's disease-related fistula had a 75% cure rate. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a cumulative incidence of recurrence of 8% (95% CI, 0%-8%) within 6 months after surgery and 12% at 12 months. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS: The Turnbull-Cutait pull-through procedure may be the last option to preserve intestinal continuity and successfully treat rectovaginal fistulas in 85% of cases.

BACKGROUND: While ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the recommended way to restore intestinal continuity after total proctocolectomy, straight ileoanal anastomoses (SIAA) are still selectively performed, especially in the pediatric population. In case of SIAA failure, conversion to IPAA is possible, but reports on its outcomes are scarce. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed our prospectively collected database on pelvic pouches, and identified patients with a SIAA that was converted to IPAA. Our aim was long-term functional outcomes. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients were included (14 females, median age at SIAA 15 years, median age at conversion to IPAA 19 years). The indication for SIAA was ulcerative colitis in 17 (74%) cases, indeterminate colitis in 2 (9%) cases, and familial adenomatous polyposis in 4 (17%) cases. The indication for IPAA conversion was incontinence/poor quality of life in 12 (52%) cases, sepsis in 8 (35%) cases, anastomotic stricture in 2 (9%) cases, and prolapse in one (4%) case. The majority were diverted at IPAA conversion (22, 96%). Three (13%) patients never had stoma closure, due to patient wishes, failed healing of vaginal fistula, and pelvic sepsis, respectively. After a median follow up of 109 months (28-170), pouch failure occurred in 5 additional patients. Overall pouch survival was 71% at 5 years. Median quality of life was 8/10, of health 8/10, and of energy 7/10. Median satisfaction with surgery was 9.5/10. CONCLUSION: Conversion of SIAA to IPAA leads to acceptable long-term outcomes and good quality of life, and can safely be offered to patients with problems related to SIAA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

OBJECTIVE: To describe a single-center experience with the management of ileal pouch-urethral fistulas (IPUF) following restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). METHODS: We retrospectively identified patients with documented IPUF managed at our institution from a urethral fistula cohort and analyzed their cases. RESULTS: Thirteen patients who underwent surgeries for IPUF management from 2005-2022 were identified. Median age at IPAA was 29 years (range 11-53). Indications for IPAA included familial adenomatous polyposis (n=3) and ulcerative colitis (n=10). Median time from IPAA to fistula diagnosis was 15 years (range 0.5-38.5). Eleven patients were initially diverted with either loop (n=8) or end ileostomy (n=3). Overall, two patients had resolution of IPUF symptoms with a loop ileostomy alone and eight eventually underwent pouch excision with end ileostomy, one of which subsequently underwent redo IPAA. Seven patients were managed with primary closure of the urethral defect at the time of pouch excision, five of which also underwent gracilis muscle interposition. With a median follow-up of 4 years (range 0.3-13 years), all patients had resolution of their fistulae without any recurrences. CONCLUSION: IPUFs are a rare complication after IPAA. In this cohort, all patients had their urinary tract preserved, but most ultimately had permanent fecal diversion. These results can help guide management of this complex issue.

BACKGROUND: Patients with IBD with continent ileostomies may require revision surgeries. There remains a paucity of data regarding outcomes after redo continent ileostomy. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate patient outcomes after redo continent ileostomy. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS: This study was conducted at a high-volume, specialized colorectal surgery department. PATIENTS: We identified patients who underwent redo continent ileostomy (defined as neo-pouch construction or major operations changing the pouch configuration) for IBD between 1994 and 2020. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcomes measured were patient demographics, short- and long-term outcomes, and quality of life. RESULTS: A total of 168 patients met inclusion criteria; 102 (61%) were female, the mean age was 51 years (±13.1), and the mean BMI was 24.4 (±3.9). The median time between primary and redo continent ileostomy was 16.8 years. One hundred twenty-two patients (73%) who underwent redo surgery had ulcerative colitis, 36 (21%) had Crohn's disease, and 10 (6%) had indeterminate colitis. Slipped nipple valve and valve stricture were the most common indications for redo continent ileostomy (86%). After a median follow-up of 4 years, 48 patients (29%) required a subsequent reoperation and 27 (16%) had pouch failure requiring pouch excision. The pouch survival rate was 89% at 3 years, 84% at 5 years, and 79% at 10 years. On univariate analysis, a shorter interval between the primary and redo continent ileostomy was associated with long-term pouch failure ( p = 0.003). Cox regression multivariate analysis confirmed that a shorter interval between surgeries was independently associated with pouch failure ( p = 0.014). The mean Cleveland Clinic Global Quality of Life score was 0.61 (± 0.23) among the 70 patients who responded to the questionnaire. LIMITATIONS: The main limitations were that this was a retrospective, single-center study and that it had a low response rate for the Global Quality of Life questionnaire. CONCLUSIONS: Redo continent ileostomy surgery is associated with a long-term pouch retention rate of 79% and satisfactory quality of life. Therefore, redo surgery should be offered to patients who are motivated to keep their continent ileostomy. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/C87 . REHACER LA ILEOSTOMA CONTINENTE EN PACIENTES CON ENFERMEDAD INFLAMATORIA INTESTINAL VALIOSAS LECCIONES APRENDIDAS DURANTE AOS: ANTECEDENTES:Los pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal con ileostomías continentes pueden requerir cirugías de revisión. Sigue habiendo escasez de datos con respecto a los resultados después de volver a realizar la ileostomía continente.OBJETIVO:Evaluar los resultados después de rehacer la ileostomía continente.DISEÑO:Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo.ESCENARIO:Departamento especializado en cirugía colorrectal de alto volumen.PACIENTES:Identificamos pacientes que se sometieron a una nueva ileostomía continente (definida como construcción de una nueva bolsa u operaciones mayores que cambian la configuración de la bolsa) por enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal entre 1994 y 2020.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Datos demográficos de los pacientes, resultados a corto y largo plazo y calidad de vida.RESULTADOS:Un total de 168 pacientes cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión; 102 (61%) eran mujeres, la edad media fue de 51 años (±13,1) y el IMC medio fue de 24,4 (±3,9). La mediana de tiempo entre la ileostomía primaria y la nueva ileostomía continente fue de 16,8 años. Ciento veintidós pacientes (73%) que se sometieron a una nueva cirugía tenían colitis ulcerosa, 36 (21%) tenían enfermedad de Crohn y 10 (6%) tenían colitis indeterminada. El deslizamiento de la válvula del pezón y la estenosis de la válvula fueron las indicaciones más comunes para rehacer la ileostomía continente (86%). Después de una mediana de seguimiento de 4 años, 48 (29%) pacientes requirieron una reintervención posterior y 27 (16%) tuvieron falla de la bolsa que requirió la escisión de la bolsa. La tasa de supervivencia de la bolsa fue del 89 % a los 3 años, del 84% a los 5 años y del 79% a los 10 años. En el análisis univariable, un intervalo de tiempo más corto entre la ileostomía continente primaria y la nueva se asoció con falla de la bolsa a largo plazo (p = 0,003). El análisis multivariable de regresión de Cox confirmó que el intervalo más corto entre cirugías se asoció de forma independiente con el fracaso de la bolsa (p = 0,014). La puntuación media de la Calidad de Vida Global fue de 0,61 (± 0,23) entre los 70 pacientes que respondieron al cuestionario.LIMITACIONES:Estudio retrospectivo de un solo centro. Baja tasa de respuesta al cuestionario de Calidad de Vida.CONCLUSIÓN:La cirugía de ileostomía continente se asocia con una tasa de retención de la bolsa a largo plazo del 79% y una calidad de vida satisfactoria. Por lo tanto, se debe ofrecer una nueva cirugía a los pacientes que están motivados para mantener su ileostomía continente. Consulte Video Resumen en http://links.lww.com/DCR/C87 .

AIM: Minimally invasive approaches to proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis have become the standard of care with one benefit being the reduced risk of adhesion-related complications. However, a lack of pouch adherence to the pelvis can lead to increased mobility as well as volvulization, placing pouch viability at risk. We aimed to describe our institutional experience with pouch volvulus. METHODS: Patients who presented with pouch volvulus from 1983 to 2020 were identified through a search of our pelvic pouch registry and enterprise-wide electronic medical record. Pouch volvulus was defined as a reducible rotation of the J-pouch on its mesenteric axis with evidence of a properly oriented ileo-anal anastomosis. Patients with 'twisted pouches' were excluded. RESULTS: In total, 5760 patients underwent ileal pouch anal anastomosis from 1983 to 2020. Six patients (five women) were identified with a diagnosis of 'pouch volvulus' consistent with our definition. The six pouches were constructed utilizing laparoscopic techniques and the mean time from construction to volvulus was 2.36 years. All patients underwent urgent surgery, with a paucity of adhesions noted in five. Reduction and pouch pexy was performed in three and pouch excision in three, with immediate pouch reconstruction in two and end ileostomy creation in one. At a median follow-up of 9 months, pouch survival was 50%. CONCLUSIONS: Pelvic pouches constructed using minimally invasive techniques may be at risk of volvulus due to reduced adhesion development. A high index of suspicion is warranted in pouch patients with obstructive symptomatology. CT imaging may be diagnostic, and prompt surgical intervention may facilitate pouch salvage.

AIM: The Turnbull-Cutait pull-through procedure (TCO) restores intestinal continuity in the setting of chronic pelvic sepsis, colorectal anastomotic leak, complex pelvic fistulas and technical challenges related to complicated rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of the TCO for salvaging complex pelvic conditions and to compare it to hand-sewn immediate coloanal anastomosis (CAA). METHODS: This is a retrospective single-institution study where we searched a prospectively maintained database to identify patients who underwent the TCO. Patient demographics, operative indications and outcomes were analysed. TCO success was defined as maintenance of intestinal continuity and being stoma-free. Kaplan-Meier analysis was employed for stoma-free survival analysis. RESULTS: A total of 81 patients with TCO and 129 patients with CAA were included. The TCO success rate was 69% at a median of 1.4 years' follow-up with 25 (31%) patients ending up with a permanent stoma compared to 22 (17%) in the CAA group with a median follow-up of 4 years (P = 0.03). The Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence of TCO success at 1, 3 and 5 years was 79%, 60% and 51%, respectively, compared to 91%, 81% and 73% after CAA. CONCLUSION: The TCO has a high success rate for patients with complex pelvic conditions who may be facing a permanent stoma as their only option.

PURPOSE: Colorectal cancer patients are commonly considered a single entity in outcomes studies. This is particularly true for quality of life (QOL) studies. This study aims to compare oncologic and QOL outcomes between right colon, left colon, and rectal cancer in patients operated on in a single high-volume institution. METHODS: A prospectively maintained database was queried to identify patients with pathological stages I-III colorectal adenocarcinoma electively operated on with curative intent between 2000 and 2010. Patient characteristics, perioperative and oncologic outcomes, and QOL were compared according to cancer location. RESULTS: Two-thousand sixty-five (606 right colon cancer [RCC], 366 left colon cancer [LCC], and 1093 rectal cancer [RC]) patients met the inclusion criteria. LCC had better overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in the non-adjusted analysis (p < 0.001) and better OS in multivariate analysis adjusted by age, gender, ASA, chemotherapy, and pathological stage (p = 0.024). Although RCC had worse OS and DFS in non-adjusted survival analysis than LCC and RC, when adjusted for the factors above, RCC had better survival outcomes than RC, but not LCC. COX regression analysis showed age (p < 0.001), gender (p = 0.016), ASA (p < 0.001), pathological stage (p < 0.001), adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.043), and cancer location (p = 0.024) were independently associated with OS. Age (p < 0.001), gender (p = 0.030), ASA (p = 0.004), and pathological stage (p < 0.001) were independently associated with DFS. Patients with RC reported more sexual dysfunction and work restrictions than colon cancers (p = 0.015 and p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION: In an adjusted multivariate analysis, colon cancers demonstrated better survival outcomes when compared to rectal cancers.

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."

La mediana de edad fue de 55 años (rango de 18 a 90 años). Ningún paciente tuvo pouchitis aguda inespecífica según lo definido por nuestros criterios. En 9 casos el diagnóstico se derivó de úlceras benignas frecuentes en bolsas ileales. La frecuencia de las evacuaciones fue el síntoma más común asociado con la etiqueta "pouchitis", pero las causas reales de la frecuencia, incluyeron un mal vaciado de la bolsa, malos hábitos alimenticios, malos hábitos intestinales y síndrome de asa aferente. La frecuencia media de las evacuaciones fue de 9, con un rango de 4 a 15 por día. A cada paciente se le realizó al menos una endoscopia de la bolsa: la mediana fue de 19 por paciente (rango de 1 a 21). A 9 pacientes se les realizó biopsia de bolsa para descartar inflamación: todos mostraron enteritis activa crónica, un hallazgo normal en las bolsas ileales.LIMITACIONES:Naturaleza retrospectiva del estudio.CONCLUSIONES:No pudimos confirmar ningún caso de pouchitis aguda e inespecífica en pacientes con PAF. Aquellos que atienden a pacientes con PAF con bolsa ileal, deben buscar otras causas para los síntomas relacionados con la bolsa que no sean "pouchitis".

AIM: In patients with anorectal Crohn's disease, it remains uncertain whether a total proctocolectomy with end ileostomy or proctectomy with end colostomy should be recommended due to the unknown rate of disease recurrence in the remaining colon. METHODS: A retrospective review of all patients with a known diagnosis of Crohn's disease who underwent a proctectomy with end colostomy for distal Crohn's disease between January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2019 at two IBD referral centres was conducted. Data collected included patient demographics, surgical variables at the time of proctectomy, and postoperative clinical, endoscopic and surgical recurrence rates. RESULTS: A total of 63 patients were included; mean age was 47 years (SD 15 years) and 32 (50.8%) were female. The majority of patients underwent a proctectomy with end colostomy (n = 56; 88.9%) while the remaining seven patients (11.1%) underwent a proctectomy with end colostomy and concurrent ileocectomy. A total of 55 patients (87.3%) had proctitis, 51 (81%) had perianal fistulating disease, and 34 (54%) had anal canal stenosis or ulceration. Most patients had medically refractory disease (n = 54; 85.7%) versus neoplasia (n = 9; 14.3%). The median length of long-term follow-up was 17.7 months (IQR: 4.72, 38.7 months). During that time, 14 (22.2%) experienced clinical recurrence, 10 of 34 evaluated (29.4%) had endoscopic recurrence, and 3 (4.76%) required a completion total abdominal colectomy for recurrent medically refractory disease in the colon. CONCLUSION: Colonic recurrence remains low following proctectomy and descending colostomy suggesting this operative management strategy is reasonable in Crohn's patients with distal disease.

BACKGROUND: While neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) is accepted as standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer, the approach to treatment of patients with clinically staged T3N0 disease has been increasingly debated. This study examines the accuracy of clinical staging for cT3N0 rectal cancer as recorded in the National Cancer Data Base and evaluates the role of nCRT in treating these patients. METHODS: Total of 15,843 patients with clinically staged T3N0M0 rectal cancer who either received nCRT or proceeded to surgery-first met inclusion criteria. Propensity score matching was employed to balance the groups. RESULTS: 23% of cT3N0 patients undergoing surgery-first were found to have pathologically positive nodes. Another 16% turned out to have < stage II disease on surgical pathology. Survival curves for matched nCRT and surgery-first groups demonstrated a survival advantage for cT3N0 patients treated with nCRT. CONCLUSIONS: Poor clinical staging accuracy can result in both undertreatment and overtreatment of cT3N0 rectal cancer.
