Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis
Brief summary
Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has been studied in the evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is increasingly used as a non-invasive, easy to use, cost-effective tool for point-of-care to assess disease activity and more recently to predict response to treatment. However, there is a paucity of data on the use of IUS specifically for ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA).
Detailed description
AIMS: 1. Establish normal sonographic parameters in patients with an IPAA and normal pouch function. 2. Evaluate the feasibility of IUS for diagnosing pouchitis and other outcomes and compare its performance with the current gold standard of pouchoscopy with biopsies.
