Core Tip
Core Tip: We present our results of a cohort of 33 adenomatous polyposis syndromes patients who underwent ileal pouch anal anastomosis surgery and developed pouch related symptoms during their follow up. We evaluated their response to treatment modalities taken from the world of ulcerative colitis patients, and irritable bowel disease patients. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory modalities had minimal effect on outcome. Dietary modifications and probiotics seem to confer the greatest benefit for pouch-related symptoms. No therapy had a significant impact on endoscopic or histologic findings.
