1 Ileorectal anastomosis in Ulcerative Colitis The better option? Pär Myrelid MD, PhD Department of Surgery, Unit of Colorectal Surgery Linköping University Hospital Linköping Sweden October 11, 2012

2 Bowel movements IRA (UC and FAP ) Bowel movements/24 h Börjesson et al 5.6 Newton & Baker 4.5 Parc et al 4.5 Tonelli et al 4.5 Elton et al 3 Gallone et al 3 Pastore et al 6 Leijonmarck et al 4 da Lus Moreira et al 6 Ko et al 5.2 Börjesson et al Tech Coloproctol 2006, Elton et al, BJS 2003, Gallone et al World J Surg 1980, Ko et al, DCR 2000, da Luz Moreira et al Clin Colon Rectal Surg 2010

3 Continence Günther et al, Colorectal Disease 2003, Börjesson et al, Tech Coloproctol 2006

4 Sexual function Better physical and sexual functioning with IRA than IPAA in 85 young FAP patients - IRA first procedure in FAP, IPAA at later age? 50 % sexual dysfunction in women with IPAA Andrews et al, DCR 2007, van Balkom et al, DCR 2012

5 The probability to conceive during a given menstrual cycle Ileorectal anastomosis in FAP UC? Fertility and Fecundability No difference in 138 Dutch FAP patients Young age at primary surgery only risk factor (regardless of procedure) Ørding-Olsen K Br J Surg 2003, Nieuwenhuis et al Ann Surg, 2010

6 Fertility and Fecundity The ability (potential) to conceive UC - normal fecundity prior to surgery - decreased to 0.20 after IPAA surgery Ørding-Olsen K Gastroenterology 2002

7 QoL No differences - even though better continence in IRA group Older patients with IRA in the Hassan study=less energy? Ko et al, DCR 2000, Hassan et al, DCR 2005, da Luz Moreira et al BJS 2010

8 Cancer risk 374 UC patients with IRA between Followed up to 23 years No rectal cancer within 10 years of onset of disease Cumulative risk of RC 6 % at 20 years and 15 % at 30 years (onset of disease) The risk mainly among those who do not attend follow up Baker et al, BJS 1978, Mann World J Surg 1988, Pastore et al DCR, 1997

9 Failure Cleveland Clinic n=86 (UC) Gothenburg n=32 (UC) 38 (44%) still IRA after median 11 y Failure rate 12 % 2 (3%) loop-ileostomy 2 ileostomy 46 (53%) proctectomy (32 IPAA) 2 IPAA Helsinki n=20 (UC) Mayo n=90 (IBD) 84 % after 5 years 16.7 % in UC 69 % after 10 years 26.2 % in CD 56 % after 20 years da Luz Moreira BJS 2009, Börjesson Tech Coloproctol 2006, Lepistö et al, Scand J Surg 2005, Pastore et al, DCR 1997

10 IPAA after previous IRA (mainly FAP) Danish polyposis registry (n=84) Primary Secondary Early postop complications 6 0 p<0.001 Pouch removal 6 (11 %) 2 (8 %) p=0.64 No differences in function apart from less nocturnal defecation among secondary IPAA:s St Marks (n=185) Anastomotic leak 6 (5.6 %) 1 (1%) NS Wound infection 1 (0.9 %) 7 (9 %) p=0.012 No differences after 1, 5 or 10 years post IPAA Toronto (n=20) More problems with night time incontinence and skin irritation post IPAA but no differences in QoL Bülow et al Colorectal Disease In press 2012, Soravia et al DCR 1999, von Roon et l, BJS 2008

11 IRA in UC All reconstructions for UC in Linköping IPAA IRA n=148 n=104 Age colectomy 34 (11-64) 31 (7-75) Duration UC at 5 (0-32) 3 (0-35) colectomy (years) Age reconstruction 35 (13-65) 31 (10-75) Follow up (months) 67 (2-195) 51 (2-174) Median, Range

16 Survival of reconstruction in UC p=0.67

17 IRA in UC Selection criteria Suitable Young patients (temporary solution) Late onset/short history Poor sphincter function Controllable rectum (BG 1 or 2 with topical therapy) IC or possibly Crohn s Not suitable Cancer or dysplasia (HGD colon or any in rectum) Proctitis despite topical therapy PSC Hereditary CRC Non distensible rectum

18 IRA in UC Surveillance Flexible endoscopy with multiple random biopsies Early onset (20 years) and <10 years duration: Yearly interval Early onset and >10 years duration: Twice yearly All others: Yearly interval Topical mesalamine 2000 mg BD

19 IRA vs. IPAA IRA IPAA Pros Trans anal defecation Trans anal defecation Remaining rectal function No remaining disease (continence) Fertility? Cons Remaining disease Continence (specially night time) Medication Surveillance Cancer risk Pelvic dissection (erectile disturbance, retrograde ejaculation and dyspareunia) Decreased fecundity and fertility Failure (convert to IPAA) Pouchitis (any time 50%, chronic 10%) Failure (redo pouch less good)

20 IRA in UC The better option? Colectomy A good option! In selected cases probably a better option A stepwise approach temporary solution Suitable for IRA IRA Failure Not suitable for IRA IPAA Failure What is the patient s view? Redo IPAA? Kock pouch? Brooke stoma?
