Severity of inflammation as a risk factor for ileo-anal anastomotic leak after a pouch procedure in ulcerative colitis

Abstract: Studies with greater power will be required to evaluate the association (if any) between histological severity of UC at the distal margin of a PPP procedure and IAA leak rate. This risk factor could influence preoperative management and post-operative outcome in patients requiring the PPP.

“…The majority of studies had small sample sizes, with CIs overlapping one, which reduces statistical confidence in the findings. In the adult literature, anastomotic leak rates range from 5% to 19%, [42][43][44] and there seems to be a trend towards decreased clinically detectable leak rates in the diverted versus undiverted group. 23 This finding does not align with previous literature reporting higher incidence of anastomotic leakage in the undiverted than diverted populations.…”
