Background:
Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who have undergone restorative proctocolectomy can develop adenomas in the pouch.
Objective:
To review experience with pouch surveillance and create a classification system for polyposis severity.
Design:
A retrospective review of patients undergoing IPAA and follow-up at 1 institution.
Setting:
A center for hereditary colorectal cancer within a quaternary referral center.
Patients:
All patients undergoing IPAA and followed endoscopically after surgery by the center.
Interventions:
Yearly pouchoscopy and treatment of polyps as required.
Main Outcome Measures:
Primary outcome measure was incidence and severity of pouch neoplasia and its changes with time.
Methods:
A retrospective study of patients who had a restorative proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis at Cleveland Clinic. Severity of polyposis was classified on the basis of size, number, and histology.
Results:
One hundred sixty-five patients were analyzed. The median age at IPAA was 31 years and 52% were male. The median follow-up was 10.1 years; the median number of pouchoscopies per patient was 4. The median interval between pouchoscopies was 21.9 months. Overall, the incidence of pouch adenomas was found in 47 patients (28.5%). The median time from pouch to first pouch adenoma diagnosis was 10.3 years. The estimated cumulative incidence rates of pouch adenoma at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 years after IPAA were 5.9%, 21.7%, 40%, 54.8%, and 69.9%, respectively. At the first diagnosis of pouch adenoma, 25 patients had stage 1, 10 had stage 2, 8 had stage 3, and 4 had stage 4. Twenty of 47 patients progressed to a higher stage. No patient developed cancer.
Limitations:
Genotype was not available for all patients.
Conclusions:
There is an increasing incidence of pouch neoplasia after restorative proctocolectomy, reaching a plateau at 25 years. The polyposis is usually mild but sometimes increases in severity.
La Incidencia Acumulada Y La Progresin De Los Adenomas De La Bolsa Ileal En Pacientes Con Poliposis Adenomatosa Familiar:
ANTECEDENTES:Los pacientes con poliposis adenomatosa familiar que se han sometido a una proctocolectomía restauradora pueden desarrollar adenomas en la bolsa.OBJETIVO:Revisamos nuestra experiencia con la vigilancia de la bolsa y creamos un sistema de clasificación para la gravedad de la poliposis.DISEÑO:Una revisión retrospectiva de pacientes sometidos a anastomosis de bolsa ileoanal y seguimiento en una institución.ESCENARIO:Un centro para el cáncer colorrectal hereditario dentro de un centro de referencia cuaternarioPACIENTES:Todos los pacientes sometidos a anastomosis reservorio ileoanal y seguidos por vía endoscópica tras la cirugía por el centro.INTERVENCIONES:Bolsascopia anual y tratamiento de pólipos según sea necesarioPRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Primaria: Incidencia y gravedad de la neoplasia del reservorio y sus cambios con el tiempo.MÉTODOS:Un estudio retrospectivo de pacientes que se sometieron a una proctocolectomía restauradora por poliposis adenomatosa familiar en la Clínica Cleveland. La gravedad de la poliposis se clasificó según el tamaño, el número y la histología.RESULTADOS:Se analizaron 165 pacientes. La mediana de edad del IPAA fue de 31 años y el 52% eran hombres. La mediana de seguimiento fue de 10,1 años; número medio de reservorioscopias por paciente = 4. El intervalo medio entre reservorioscopias fue de 21,9 meses. Incidencia global de adenomas de reservorio = 47/165 (28,5%). Tiempo mediano desde el reservorio hasta el primer diagnóstico de adenoma en reservorio = 10,3 años. La tasa de incidencia acumulada estimada de adenoma de bolsa a los 5, 10, 15, 20, y 30 años después de la IPAA es del 5,9%, 21,7%, 40%, 54,8%, y 69,9%, respectivamente. En el primer diagnóstico de adenoma de la bolsa, 25 pacientes tenían estadio 1, 10 estadio 2, 8 estadio 3 y 4 estadio 4. 20/47 pacientes progresaron a un estadio superior Ningún paciente desarrolló cáncer.LIMITACIONES:Genotipo no disponible para todos los pacientesCONCLUSIONES:Hay una incidencia creciente de neoplasia de la bolsa después de la proctocolectomía restauradora, alcanzando una meseta a los 25 años. La poliposis suele ser leve, pero a veces aumenta en severidad. (Traducción-Dr. Yesenia Rojas-Khalil ).

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
