Summary

Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal J pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) preserves rectal filling sensation. Sensation thresholds normalize within six weeks after ileostomy closure, indicating normal rectal function.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal J pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is a common procedure.
  • Understanding rectal filling sensation after IPAA is crucial for patient outcomes.
  • The role of the ileal pouch in sensation requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate pouch filling sensations following IPAA.
  • To compare sensations before and after restoring bowel continuity.
  • To assess the impact of ileostomy diversion on sensation thresholds.

Main Methods:

  • Anal manometry and pouch filling sensation tests were conducted.
  • 17 patients undergoing IPAA were studied before and at 1 and 6 weeks after ileostomy closure.
  • Results were compared to 12 control subjects.

Main Results:

  • Before ileostomy closure, patients had higher pressure and lower volume thresholds for sensation compared to controls.
  • Pouch compliance was reduced in patients before stoma closure.
  • After stoma closure, sensation thresholds and compliance normalized, becoming comparable to controls.

Conclusions:

  • Ileal J pouch diversion temporarily alters filling sensation thresholds.
  • These thresholds normalize within six weeks of restoring bowel continuity.
  • Rectal and anorectal tissues are not essential for normal filling and urge sensation.
