Patients undergoing ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) report favorable long-term outcomes, with 83% experiencing fewer than seven daily bowel movements and 70% having fewer than two at night. Analysis of 125 patients reveals a median St. Mark’s incontinence score of 5.3, indicating good functional results, and a Cleveland Global Quality of Life score of 18.4, reflecting high quality of life. Overall morbidity stands at 36%, underscoring the procedure’s viability for maintaining sphincter function.
