Extensive Colitis and Smoking Are Associated With Postoperative Complications Within 30 Days of Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our understanding of outcomes after proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC) is largely based on analyses of selected populations. We created a state-level registry to evaluate the epidemiology of IPAA surgery and pouch-related outcomes across the major healthcare systems performing these surgeries in our state.

Methods

We created a retrospective cohort of all patients undergoing restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA for UC at 1 of 4 centers between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2020. The primary outcomes of this study were the rate of complications and all-cause readmissions within the first 30 days of the final stage of IPAA surgery.

Results

During the study period, 177 patients underwent IPAA surgery with 6
