    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Sexual Medicine

    Background:

    • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Abdominoperineal resection (APR) is a surgical option for severe UC.
    • Sexual function changes after APR are a concern for patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate sexual function and reproductive outcomes in patients undergoing APR for UC.
    • To compare sexual outcomes between male and female patients post-APR.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted at the Medical College of Georgia.
    • Patients who underwent APR for ulcerative colitis were assessed.
    • Sexual changes, including impotence and fertility, were documented.

    Main Results:

    • No cases of impotence were reported in male patients.
    • Only one female patient achieved a successful pregnancy.
    • Female patients experienced infertility attributed to anatomical issues like strictures, adhesions, or uterine dislocation.

    Conclusions:

    • APR for UC does not appear to cause impotence in men.
    • Women undergoing APR for UC face a higher risk of sexual dysfunction and infertility.
    • Fear of sexual impairment should not deter men from necessary APR surgery.
