Ano-neorectal function using manometry on patients after restorative proctocolectomy and ileal J-pouch anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis in children.
Hepato-gastroenterology 2012 January
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The purpose of this study was to clarify the ano-neorectal functions in pediatric patients with soiling at a short period and without soiling at a long period after restorative colectomy and ileal J-pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC).
METHODOLOGY: Ten patients after IPAA for UC in childhood were mamometrically studied, aged 10 to 16 years (mean, 13.9 years). Patients after IPAA with ileostomy closure were studied at 6 months (Group A; all patients had soiling) and 3 years after ileostomy closure (Group B; all patients showed continence). Group C served as controls and consisted of 12 subjects (aged 12 to 16 years, mean, 14.8).
RESULTS: Maximum anal sphincter pressure at rest and maximum anal sphincter pressure during voluntary contraction were significantly lower in group A than in groups B and C. Minimum neorectal sensory threshold volume in group A was significantly higher than in groups B and C (p<0.01). Maximum neorectal tolerated threshold volumes and neorectal compliances, and positive rates of neorectoanal inhibitory reflex, showed no significant difference among the groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with soiling at 6 months after IPAA showed anal sphincter dysfunction and neorectal sensory dysfunction. The IPAA may cause damage to the ano-neorectal apparatus during rectal mobilization due to the short rectal cuff and mucosectomy.
