    This study explores a novel surgical technique for ulcerative colitis using a jejunal pull-through to preserve fecal continence. The procedure resulted in improved bowel function and continence, offering a viable alternative for pediatric patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Colorectal surgery

    Background:

    • Ulcerative colitis (UC) often requires surgical intervention in pediatric patients.
    • Total colectomy with ileostomy is a common treatment, but can impact quality of life.
    • Preserving fecal continence is a key goal in surgical management of UC.

    Observation:

    • A female patient with severe UC underwent subtotal colectomy and ileostomy at age 7.
    • At age 9, she had a rectal mucosectomy with a pull-through using an isolated jejunal loop.
    • Postoperative management included physiotherapy and balloon dilatations.

    Findings:

    • The patient achieved fecal continence with 2-4 soft bowel movements daily.
    • The jejunal pull-through preserved the ileostomy function.

  • Jejunal loops offer advantages in blood supply and reduced bacterial contamination compared to the ileum.

    • Implications:

    • Jejunal pull-through is a promising technique for fecal continence in pediatric UC.
    • This approach avoids the loss of valuable terminal ileum.
    • It offers a potential alternative to traditional ileal pull-through procedures.
