High Endoscopic Cuffitis Rates Post-Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis: Association with Extensive Disease and Biologic Exposure

Endoscopic cuffitis occurred in approximately 60% of patients who underwent restorative proctocolectomy with stapled ileal pouch–anal anastomosis, and was significantly associated with extensive disease and exposure to multiple biologics before colectomy. Older age, extensive disease, exposure to biologics before colectomy, and exposure to at least 2 or more biologics before colectomy were all significantly associated with subsequent cuffitis post-ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in patients with ulcerative colitis.
