Results
Overall, there is no high-quality literature on pouch sinus management, and the studies that exist are small and observational or descriptive in nature. Most of the literature focuses on the treatment of asymptomatic sinus tracts. Reported treatment methods include watchful observation, sinus tract debridement, tract unroong, brin glue, and revising or creating a new pouch. Many patients need more than one treatment to achieve healing. Ultimately, if these methods fail, this may lead to the need for pouch excision or permanent fecal diversion. Although there is literature reporting the success rates of various interventions, little exists in the way of guid­ance on choosing one particular intervention over another.
Delay Ostomy Closure/Watchful Observation
Delay of ostomy closure and observation alone have been shown to have a reason­able healing rate, particularly in the setting of an asymptomatic sinus. If a contained sinus is detected on pouchogram, observation is usually recommended as the initial strategy. In the series reported by Ahmed Ali [2], observation alone with delay of ostomy closure was successful in achieving sinus healing in 65% of patients, although this was higher in asymptomatic sinus (79%) versus symptomatic sinus (44%). Slightly lower rates of sinus healing were reported by Akbari [4] who found that 52.6% of patients treated with delay in ostomy closure and observation alone ultimately achieved sinus healing without the need for further procedures.
When considering ileostomy reversal and pouch retention, Nyam et al [5] reported a series of 41 patients with pouch sinuses who were observed for 3- to 6-month periods before repeat pouchogram. All 41 patients eventually had their ileostomy reversed, although 2 patients required repeat diversion for recurrent sinus prior to ultimately having their second ileostomy closed. Of the 41 patients in this series, only one patient ultimately had pouch failure requiring pouch excision.
Debridement
After watchful observation, approximately 62% of patients require additional treat­ment [2]. Exam under anesthesia with irrigation and debridement can be done safely

with mechanical debridement usually with curettage. The success of tract debride­ment is reported by Akbari [4]. Of 6 patients who underwent EUA with tract debridement, 4 patients subsequently underwent successful ileostomy closure. Debridement may also be used in conjunction with other interventions at the time of operative intervention including during the use of brin glue6 and during tract unroong [7].
71
Fibrin Glue
Swain and Ellis [6] published a series of 7 patients with persistent low pelvic anastomotic sinuses including both patients with IPAA and patients with low colorectal anastomosis done for rectal cancer. All patients were asymptomatic. After mechanical debridement of the sinus, brin glue was injected to obliterate the sinus tract. At 11months, 100% of the patients had achieved complete healing of the sinus.
The series reported by Ahmed Ali [2] included 3 patients treated with brin glue, although use of glue was employed only as the second or third intervention. Of these 3 patients, 2 achieved sinus healing. No comment is made on which patients ultimately received treatment with brin glue and whether or not they were symptomatic.
Unroofing
Unroong of a sinus involves dividing the common wall of the sinus and adjacent pouch. Sinus tract unroong has success rates varying from 50% to 100% [710], with multiple techniques for sinus tract unroong have been described.
Whitlow [7] reported outcomes of a cohort of 6 patients with sinuses including both patients with IPAA and with low colorectal anastomosis. In all patients, the sinus tract was unroofed using laparoscopic scissors to divide the septum between the sinus and the bowel. All six patients achieved sinus tract healing at 1year, with 5 of those patients achieving healing at 1month.
Use of a laparoscopic stapler to divide the septum between the bowel and the sinus tract has also been described. Although not specic to IPAA, Alsanea & Alabbad [8] report 100% healing of sinus tract using this method in 4 patients with sinus after low colorectal anastomosis.
Treatment using endoscopic sinusotomy has also been described by Lan [9] in a series that included 109 patients with IPAA sinus tracts. This is performed using an endoscopic needle knife to divide the septum before placing endoscopic clips along the edges of the opened sinus to marsupialize the sinus. Additionally, the sinus tract is treated with topical doxycycline +/50% dextrose to encourage brosis. Using this technique, complete healing was achieved in 49.5% of these patients, and par­tial healing was reported in 18.3%. The majority of patients did require more than 1 treatment, and sinus recurrence was found in 15% of patients treated with endo­scopic sinusotomy alone.

Ileostomy Closure withPersistent Sinus
In some instances, ileostomy closure has been reported despite the presence of a persistent asymptomatic sinus. In the series published by Nyam [5], 6 patients ulti­mately had their ileostomies reversed despite a persistent sinus after a prolonged period of expectant management. All of these patients were asymptomatic, and at the time of ileostomy closure, the sinus tract was either stable in size or smaller than at the time of initial diagnosis. None of these 6 patients developed symptoms after ileostomy closure, and pouch function was not different than in patients who had demonstrated sinus healing prior to ileostomy closure.
Redo Pouch
In the absence of sinus healing after more conservative measures, pouch redo may offer a chance at pouch retention. In the series by Ahmed Ali [2], 3 patients were ultimately treated with pouch redo with 2 of 3 patients achieving sinus healing and the remaining patient eventually requiring pouch excision.
In a series by Lan [10] comparing endoscopic sinusotomy to redo pouch surgery, redo pouch had an initial healing rate of 94.1%, however, there was a 32.5% sinus recurrence rate. Of the patients that had a sinus recurrence, 73% went on to demon­strate complete healing after additional treatments for an overall healing rate in the redo pouch group of 85.9%. Although the healing rate was high in the redo pouch group, the authors point out that the rate of postoperative morbidity was high in the redo pouch group at 43.5%.

Recommendations
All reported evidence quality is low given that all data regarding pouch-sinus man­agement comes from small observational studies. Given this, all recommendations based on that data are weak recommendations.
1. Management of pouch sinus should be individualized based on symptoms, pres-
ence of diverting ileostomy, and prior interventions.
2. Observation with delay of ileostomy reversal is an acceptable initial manage-
ment of an asymptomatic pouch sinus.
Personal View oftheData
Anastomotic complications can lengthen the path to recovery after complex sur­gery. A pouch sinus from a contained leak demands a measured approach to avoid any future failures. Most of the literature regarding this topic is focused on the treat­ment of the asymptomatic sinus and is limited to observational studies and case series. Thus, the recommendations should be interpreted with caution. The initial approach should be watchful waiting and delaying three to sixmonths for a repeat pouchogram since a signicant amount of these tracts resolve or get smaller [2, 4,
5]. Debridement, brin glue, and unroong can then be considered with not any
single approach showing any distinct advantage. Decision on approach is individu­alized and based on sinus characteristics and surgeon expertise. If a persistent sinus is still present after initial treatment and remains asymptomatic despite the above strategy, ileostomy closure can be considered. A redo pouch can also be carefully considered depending on level of expertise as repeat pouch creation may be more problematic due to adhesions, inherent difculty in operating in a redo pelvis, and dealing with possible reach issues. A redo pouch has good success, yet recurrent sinus is a possibility [10]. Pouch excision and redo also comes with a higher mor­bidity rate than the index procedure. Further comparative studies are needed to elu­cidate success rates of these different approaches. Unfortunately, up to 33% patients ultimately have pouch failure despite above treatments and require permanent diver­sion [2].

Introduction
Total proctocolectomy with ileoanal pouch anastomosis is the main surgical treat­ment for patients who require surgery with a history of ulcerative colitis or those with familial adenomatous polyposis [16]. While many patients who have under­gone IPAA have a high quality of life, some patients will develop complications, such as pouch vaginal or perineal stulae. While an uncommon problem with inci­dence rates ranging from 2.9–16.7% [719], PVF is a source of considerable mor­bidity for the patient and a technical challenge for the surgeon. Patients who develop a PVF face high pouch failure rates of 21–30% [7].
PVFs typically present in the rst year after surgery; however, a late presentation might occur even after 10years from surgery. Due to the relative paucity of pub­lished data, optimal management is still debated. However, most agree the manage­ment strategy needs to take into account factors related to the etiology of the stula (surgical related, disease related, or sepsis related), as well as the location of the stula in relation to the anastomosis. For example, it is important to note that a sta­pled anastomosis is going to be more cephalad, therefore making a pouch advance­ment ap to the dentate line a more viable remedial option when PVF complicates a stapled anastomosis. Conversely, following an index handsewn anastomosis, pouch advancement may not be a viable option. As for pouch type, Wexner etal. found no difference in the incidence of PVF for different pouch types [15].

Clearly, surgical technique and post operative sepsis are major contributors to the development of PVF, reemphasizing the need for appropriate technique at the index operation [18, 2025]. As inammation often plays a role in the pathogenesis of PVF, careful review of appropriate histopathologic materials by an expert gastrointestinal pathologist may be crucial to future management options. This step is especially true for the 2–3% of patients who undergo IPAA for UC only to nd the long-term diag­nosis is Crohn’s disease (CD). Lee etal. [23] found a high correlation between PVF and CD, with 12 of the 23 women (52%) with a preoperative diagnosis of UC eventu­ally diagnosed with CD.It is worth noting that the average time to development of a PVF is typically longer in patients with CD, and these patients suffer from a signi­cantly higher rate of pouch failure and ultimately excision. Often biologics with TNF­alpha inhibitors may be considered in those patients with Crohn’s disease [45]. In addition, patients who undergo IPAA for indeterminate colitis also have a high rate of pouch complications including PVF and pouch failure [26]. However, patients whose indication for surgery is familial adenomatous polyposis present with a signicantly lower rate of PVF when compared to IBD patients [27, 28].
Patients with PVF may be asymptomatic or present with minor symptoms. They may also present with severe symptoms such as vaginal discharge of fecal material or gas, recurrent vaginitis, and vulvar irritation. Some cases of asymptomatic PVF are found on routine pouchography prior to ileostomy closure. Once PVF is sus­pected, further investigation is needed to conrm the diagnosis and establish its nature. This will also be important in helping to decide the next course of action. As noted above, the surgeon should request the pathology slides for expert pathology review. If not clinically evident, a perineogram and a water-soluble contrast poucho­gram may help to diagnose the presence and the level of the stula tract.
Imaging with computed tomography (CT) scan, ideally with contrast enema, may also help to identify stulous tracts, although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1 weighted with fat suppression and IV gadolinium is preferable. In expert hands, endo­anal ultrasound is also helpful in detecting sphincter deformity, especially in women with a history of vaginal delivery. However, the reliability of endoanal ultrasound is poor for stula detection because the stulous tracts in PVF are short and wide.
Although clinical examination in the ofce will often conrm the diagnosis, careful examination under anesthesia (EUA) may be preferable. EUA allows access to the stula and excludes associated sepsis while overcoming the potential limita­tions of patient discomfort. It also allows identication of the level of the internal opening, its relation to the anastomosis (usually the staple line), the direction of the tract, and the location of the external orice in relation to the vaginal wall, vaginal fourchette, labia, or perineum. While most tracts are short and straight, they can be complex and branched, and a low PVF can mask the presence of a higher stula from the pouch-body to the mid-body of the vagina. If necessary, introduction of dye such as methylene blue into the pouch, with white swabs placed in the vagina to identify staining, is useful. Alternatively, for low stulae, hydrogen peroxide gently instilled into the anus may demonstrate bubbles as they emerge from the vaginal opening. Lastly, patients should typically undergo anal manometry to assess the sphincter pressures, and a pudendal nerve terminal motor latency study to assess for neural impairment, especially in women after childbirth.

Search Strategy (See Table7.1)
A literature search was carried out to identify articles on PVF.The search was done on the electronic databases PubMed, Embase, and Medline, from 1980 to December
2022. The main search terms used were ‘pouch-vaginal stula’, ‘ileoanal pouch­vaginal stula,’ ‘anal pouch-vaginal stula,’ ‘ileoanal pouch stula’ OR ‘anal pouch stula.’
Results
Many procedures have been proposed for the treatment of PVF, most of them adopted from rectovaginal stula repairs [29, 30]. The procedures can be divided into those performed via a perineal approach or via an abdominal approach. All studies provide level IV evidence, with small numbers of patients and signicant heterogeneity. There are no randomized controlled trials and only three systematic reviews with one meta-analysis on the management of PVF.Pooled results for the different types of PVF repair are presented in Table7.2.

Perineal Approach
Seton Drain
A draining seton is mainly used for controlling pelvic sepsis and for dening the stula tract. One study [12] reported a success rate of 25% in patients with the use of a seton as denitive treatment. However, Wexner etal. (0/2) [15], Mallick etal. (0/3) [10] and Shah etal. (0/5) [18] all reported 100% failure rates. Tsujinaka etal. [31] showed complete healing in one patient with an asymptomatic stula. To date, there is no evidence to support seton use except for initial control of sepsis before denitive repair. Most studies chose not to include patients treated with setons in their nal analysis, instead focusing on patients undergoing procedures with a clear intent to close the stula. Despite the widespread use of seton drain placement before attempting a denitive repair of PVF, there are no studies showing denitive data impacting the outcome.
Fistulectomy
The coring out of the stula tract with repair of the internal opening at the pouch level has been described with disappointing results [12, 14, 15]. With little evidence available to support its use in the management of PVF, more recent studies have not included it as an option in their approach.

Biological Therapy
The use of a collagen plug to treat PVF was rst reported by Gonsalves etal. [32]. While initial healing rates of 57% at 16weeks (4/7) were promising, long term results showed 0/11 PVF successfully healed at 2years [33]. Early success was probably related to the persistence of the collagen plug within the tract, but failure of local tis­sue in-growth coupled with the relatively short length of PVF led to long- term failure. Sapci etal. had success in 1/3 (33%) patients with use of a stula plug, though this was limited to patients with a stula distal to the anastomosis [46]. Tsujinaka etal. [31] reported the instillation of brin glue in the stula tract with complete healing in one patient with a minimally symptomatic stula and failure in 2/3 symptomatic patients who eventually required pouch advancement and a redo pouch.
Transanal Ileal Advancement Flap
An ileal pouch advancement involves mobilizing a ap of mucosa and submucosa from the ileal pouch, excising the internal opening, and then advancing the ap beyond the internal stula opening where it is sutured in place. Mallick etal. [10] reported healing rates of 42% (20/48) when advancement ap was performed as a primary procedure and 66% (4/6) when performed secondarily after a different pro­cedure. Tsujinaka etal. [31] showed healing rates of 60% (6/10), while Shah etal. [18] and Ozuner etal. [34] reported success rates of 44% (17/39) and 45% (15/24), respectively. Lee etal. [23] had a slightly higher success rate of 50% (10/20), with the rate increasing to 83% (10/12) when excluding patients with CD.Wexner etal. [15] reported successful stula healing in 8/16 patients with this approach in a sur­vey of North American colorectal units, whereas Groom et al. [14] reported only one success in 10 attempts. Sapci etal. reported a success of 14/23 (61%) of patients, with most of these stulae located below the anastomosis (18/23) [46]. Pellino etal. performed a meta-analysis including 34 total articles with 770 total patients and reported an overall recurrence rate with this technique at 56.9% [47].
Advantages of the ileal pouch advancement ap include the relative simplicity of the procedure with more distal mobility of the ap [9]. The disadvantages of this approach include the suboptimal exposure, the risk of damage to the sphincters in patients with borderline incontinence, and the fact that the ap lies on the high­pressure side of the PVF.
Transvaginal Repair
Transvaginal repair is commonly one of the rst interventions used for treatment of low PVF.These stulas are usually the result of ileal-anal anastomotic disruption or inclusion of the vaginal wall in the anastomosis at the time of pouch creation. Advantages of the transvaginal approach include improved exposure compared to
