Health-Related Quality of Life after Ileal J-Pouch?Anal Anastomosis for Ulcerative Colitis: Long-Term Results

Abstract: RAND SF-36 scores seem to provide a useful tool to evaluate the health-related quality of life after pelvic pouch operation for ulcerative colitis. Frequent bowel movements, impaired anal continence, and pouchitis are common in long-term follow-up after ileal pouch operation. The scores were, however, comparable to those in the normal population in terms of adaptation to daily life with a pelvic pouch.

“…Possible explanations may be sphincter strength decreasing with age [48,49], reduced ability to adapt in older patients [33], and occult obstetric sphincter injury becoming manifest in women [50]. However, there are also studies showing no difference in functional outcome between younger and older patients [22,28,34].…”

“…Deteriorated function is also reported and is probably multi-factorial; e.g. nerve damage during pelvic dissection, 6 or associated with poor pouch function. Assessment of published results is difficult due to the variety of instruments used for evaluation of sexual function.…”
