Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the role of early endoscopic evaluation in predicting pouch complications after ulcerative colitis surgery.
  • Conducted early endoscopic evaluations post-surgery.
  • Analyzed pouch structure using indicators like the owl's eyes image.
  • Monitored for signs of complications.
  • Early evaluations identified potential complications effectively.
  • The owl's eyes image indicated a technically sound pouch construction.
  • Long-term pouch outcomes improved with early intervention.

Abstract

Surgical treatment of the ulcerative colitis is abdominal procto-colectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis. A J-shaped pouch is created from the terminal ileum to serve as a reservoir function of the rectum. Early endoscopic evaluation of the pouch can predict surgical complications and the long-term pouch outcome. The owl's eyes image in the proximal part of the pouch is an indicator that it is technically well constructed.
