20 Failing Pouch
32.3 months, of 85 patients who were included in pouch survival analysis, 70 had a
functioning pouch. Patients with Crohn’s disease were more likely to develop pouch
failure after redo IPAA. Indication for redo IPAA (septic versus nonseptic) or type of
pouch (old versus new pouch) was not associated with failure following redo IPAA.
A study of 51 patients with ulcerative colitis [
13 ] reported outcomes after major
reconstructive surgery due to complications after primary IPAA. Diagnosis subse-
quently changed to Crohn’s disease in 22 patients. In 65% of the study patients, indi-
cation for revision was infectious/infl ammatory complications. The median time
between original IPAA and reconstruction was 2.3 years. Fifty-seven percent of
patients had a partial pouch reconstruction. Risk factors for complications after revi-
sion were Crohn’s disease and partial reconstruction. Pouch survival after revision
was 93% at 1 year and 89% at 5 years. Development of a pelvic abscess was the prog-
nostic factor for pouch failure after reconstructive surgery. Meanwhile, Tekkis et al.
[ 14 ] identifi ed 112 patients undergoing abdominal reconstruction. The most common
pathologic diagnosis was ulcerative colitis ( n = 86), and the most common indication
for surgery was intra-abdominal sepsis ( n = 45). Most patients underwent pouch revi-
sion/augmentation. After a median follow-up of 46 months, 21% of study patients
had failure. Septic indications were associated with failure at 5 years. Shawki et al. [ 7 ]
also reported 23 patients undergoing pouch reconstruction or revision via an abdomi-
nal approach with a 69% success rate.
Most recently, we reported our experience in 241 patients undergoing redo pouch
surgery [ 15 ] . One hundred and sixty-two (67%) patients were referred from other
institutions. Pathologic diagnosis was ulcerative colitis in 172 patients, familial ade-
nomatous polyposis in 22, Crohn’s disease in 31, indeterminate colitis in 13, and
other diagnosis in 3 patients. The most common indication for repeat pouch surgery
included chronic fi stula ( n = 67), leak ( n = 65), anastomotic stricture ( n = 42), and
pouch dysfunction ( n = 40). In 71 patients, the old pouch was excised, and a new
pouch created during repeat surgery. In 170 patients, the original pouch was used
(pouch repair/revision in 141, pouch augmentation/advancement/mobilization in 28,
and pouchopexy in 1). In a patient with chronic anastomotic leak/sinus, we believe
that the key to success is the excision of the chronic phlegmon/abscess cavity
(Fig. 20.5 ). After a median follow-up of 5 years, pouch survival rate following repeat
pouch surgery was 85%. Pouch survival rate was 84% in patients who underwent
repeat pouch surgery due to a septic complication and 87% in those with a nonseptic
indication. Of 31 patients with Crohn’s disease, 7 (22.6%) had pouch failure. Pouch
salvage patients had a mean number of 7.9 bowel movements per 24 h. Ninety-nine
percent stated that they would have repeat pouch surgery again, while 98% would
recommend it to others. Study patients were compared to those with primary IPAA
for functional outcomes and QOL. A smaller proportion of patients undergoing pri-
mary IPAA described pad usage during daytime and seepage episodes during day
and nighttime than those undergoing repeat pouch surgery; however, other pouch
function and QOL outcomes were comparable in both groups.
It is our experience that some patients [ 16 ] with technical complications after
primary IPAA may be mislabeled as having Crohn’s disease. Thus, of 33 patients
referred to the Cleveland Clinic with a diagnosis of CD after a primary IPAA, after

further evaluation showed that the indications for repeat pouch surgery were pouch
fi stula ( n = 20), anastomotic leak or pelvic sepsis ( n = 17), stricture ( n = 4), refractory
pouchitis ( n = 2), long exit conduit ( n = 1), and retained rectal stump ( n = 1). Repeat
pouch surgery included laparotomy with construction of a new pouch or revision of
existing pouch with redo IPAA. After a median follow-up of 1.7 years, pouch sur-
vival rate was 84.8%. Study patients were compared with those undergoing primary
IPAA for functional outcomes and QOL. All parameters of pouch function and
QOL were similar between the groups. In our view, careful evaluation of patients
who are referred with a diagnosis of pouch complications due to Crohn’s disease is
always necessary before accepting this label.
Although leak from the tip of the J-pouch is less frequent than anastomotic leak,
it is known to be associated with pouch failure. A recent study from our institution
[ 17 ] included 27 patients with a leak from the tip of the J-pouch following IPAA.
The fi nal pathologic diagnosis was ulcerative colitis in 22 patients, familial adenom-
atous polyposis in 3, and Crohn’s disease in 2. One patient underwent pouch exci-
sion and end ileostomy, and another patient healed after CT-guided drainage of a
pelvic abscess. Other 25 patients underwent salvage surgery to repair the leak
(Figs.
20.6 and 20.7 ). After a mean follow-up of 3.2 years, 24 patients had a func-
tioning pouch. Pouch function and QOL outcomes were compared between the
study patients and those with primary IPAA and were found to be similar. It was
concluded that although tip of the J-pouch has an indolent course, salvage surgery
is required and often associated with good outcomes.

20.4 Pouch Excision Versus Permanent Diversion
In patients with pouch failure for whom restoration of intestinal continuity is not
pursued, pouch excision can be performed [ 18, 19 ] . QOL scores after pouch excision
are reported to be similar to those following standard proctocolectomy and ileostomy,
despite more liquid ileostomy loss in patients undergoing pouch excision [ 18 ] .
However, when compared to healthy population, those with pouch excision had worse
QOL parameters for physical, social, energy, and physical role function . Moreover,
patients with pouch excision had signifi cantly lower physical, energy and physical
role function scores than a control group of patients with a functioning pouch [ 19 ] .
Permanent ileostomy without pouch excision may be an alternative to pouch
excision. In a study [ 20 ] which compared outcomes after pouch excision with divert-
ing ileostomy without excision, no difference was found in stoma-related complica-
tions and urinary symptoms. However, male sexual function was signifi cantly worse
in patients undergoing pouch excision. Despite higher QOL scores in patients with
pouch excision than those with permanent stoma without excision, the difference
was not statistically signifi cant (Box
20.4 ).
In 18 patients with available histopathology, no dysplasia or cancer was found.
Similarly, in a study including 22 patients with permanent diversion without excision,

289
20 Failing Pouch
13 patients underwent an endoscopic examination with pouch biopsy, and no case of
dysplasia or cancer was seen [ 21 ] . Although outcomes seem to be similar between
these two approaches, further studies with larger number of patients were needed for
defi nitive conclusions.
20.5 Summary
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (RP/IPAA) is the
procedure of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis and selected patients with
familial adenomatous polyposis. Early postoperative complications after IPAA
include anastomotic leak, pelvic sepsis, stricture, and fi stula, while late complica-
tions are pouchitis, obstruction, and pouch dysfunction. Pouch failure rates range
from 0.5% to 24%. If local procedures fail to salvage the pouch, abdominoperineal
reconstructive surgery with/without redo IPAA can be performed. Reconstructive
procedures have been reported to be associated with good outcomes and high sal-
vage rates in patients with a failed pouch. A delayed diagnosis of Crohn’s disease
might be associated with adverse outcomes following salvage surgery. Sepsis has
been shown to be one of the most common reasons for failure and also a contraindi-
cation for pouch salvage surgery by some authors. In contrast, others reported that if
sepsis is controlled, salvage surgery can be carried out with good functional results.
If the failed pouch is not salvageable, permanent ileostomy with or without excision
of pouch is an alternative.

Case Scenario Answer
(d) In diverted patients with anastomotic leak following IPAA, we perform an
examination under anesthesia (EUA) and transanal/transanastomotic drainage
of pelvic abscess through the defect using a small mushroom catheter. We
subsequently do EUA and gastrographin enema every 8–10 weeks during the
next 6–12 months to check the healing of anastomotic leak and pelvic abscess.
The mushroom catheter is usually removed after the acute episode subsides or
where the cavity shrinks to the size that no further transanastomotic drainage
is necessary. After this 6–12 months period if the pathology heals, we close
ileostomy. In case of incomplete healing, if there is a small presacral sinus, we
proceed with ileostomy closure after explaining the possibility of recurrence
of infection to the patient. On the other hand, if there is a persistent large cav-
ity and a large presacral sinus with drainage of pus after 9–12 months, as in
this patient, our approach is disconnection of IPAA and excision of the chronic
pelvic abscess cavity during abdominal reoperative surgery.

21.1 Introduction
Surgery cannot “cure” Crohn’s disease but should be about best managing the compli-
cations of the disease. It is the transmural infl ammation that is typical of Crohn’s dis-
ease which gives rise to the complications of stricture, abscess, and fi stulation.
Symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, malaise, fever, anorexia, weight loss,
or anemia and will vary depending upon the underlying nature and distribution of the
disease. In an individual patient, the disease tends to be either stricturing or fi stulating,
and recurrent disease after surgical resection tends to recur in a similar pattern [ 1 ] .
Crohn’s disease most commonly affects the terminal ileum (when it was fi rst reported,
it was termed “terminal ileitis” [ 2 ] ) with ileocolic disease present in approximately
40% of patients, ileal disease in 30%, and colonic/anal disease in less than 30% [ 3 ] .
21.2 Investigations
Approximately a fi fth of patients with Crohn’s disease will present as an emergency
[ 4 ] . In the patients presenting acutely with complications of the disease and in whom
medical management is not possible, CT scanning is the most useful imaging modal-
ity. It can demonstrate obstruction, fi stulation, or abscess formation and will fre-
quently allow radiologically guided percutaneous drainage of collections. For those
patients who present less acutely, there are other imaging modalities available.
Colonoscopy with terminal ileal intubation may diagnose the disease, provide the
opportunity to obtain biopsies, and allow for therapeutic balloon dilatation of fi brotic
strictures, including anastamotic strictures. MRI enteroclysis, where the bowel is

deliberately distended with fl uid prior to imaging, results in good demonstration of
the bowel without the radiation dose associated with CT scans. Although previously
used extensively, small bowel contrast studies can be low in sensitivity and are being
superceded by MRI enteroclysis. Contrast studies via fi stulae are often helpful in
defi ning anatomy in order to plan surgery. Capsule endoscopy may occasionally be
useful in obtaining an elusive diagnosis, but there is a theoretical risk of the capsule
becoming stuck and causing obstruction if there is any associated stricturing.
21.3 Medical Management (See Chap. 17 )
The majority of patients with small bowel disease will present electively to the col-
orectal surgeon after a period of medical management. The general principle of med-
ical management of active disease is induction and then maintenance of remission [ 5 ]
(Table 21.1 ). Traditionally, patients have been started on steroid therapy and then
worked up towards biologic therapy if other measures were failing, the so-called
step-up approach. The SUTD (Step-Up Top-Down) trial demonstrated that early
treatment with immunosuppression (infl iximab and azathioprine), the “top-down”
approach, was more effective in maintaining remission and preventing relapse [ 29 ] ,
and we should fi nd that the use of steroids in Crohn’s disease is decreasing.
21.3.1 Smoking Cessation
One of the most important factors in maintenance of remission and also prevention
of recurrence after surgery is cessation of smoking [ 30– 32 ] . An interventional study
using a smoking cessation program for smokers with Crohn’s disease was able to
demonstrate that smoking cessation resulted in reduced requirements for steroids
and immunosuppressants [ 33 ] . This should be strongly emphasized to patients and
help offered to them to aid them in their efforts, e.g., referral to a smoking cessation
service and prescription of nicotine patches.
21.4 Surgery for Small Bowel Crohn’s Disease
21.4.1 Do I Need to Operate?
Sometimes the decision to operate is easy, and the surgeon has no choice but to
operate, e.g., generalized peritonitis or acute obstruction. This is the minority of
cases, and usually, the decision of when to operate and what to do is not an easy one.
