Functional Outcome and Quality of Life After Repeat Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis for Complications of Ileoanal Surgery

Abstract

Repeat ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is a valid alternative for patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis failure. A controlled septic condition should not preclude salvage surgery. Although pouch failure occurs more frequently than after primary ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, patient satisfaction and quality of life are high.
