Abstract
Pouch inflammation is common after restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and is best described as a spectrum that includes acute and chronic pouchitis. Distinguishing between these conditions may be difficult given the extensive overlap of clinical symptoms, and treatment can be challenging due to limited evidence. The aim of this study is to review the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory pouch disorders, focusing on acute pouchitis, chronic antibiotic dependent pouchitis, chronic antibiotic refractory pouchitis, Crohn’s disease like pouch inflammation and cuffitis.
