OBJECTIVE
Although a majority of patients with pouchitis respond favorably to antibiotic therapy, many relapse frequently, and nonabsorbable and non-antibiotic-based agents are desirable for reducing bacterial resistance and the systemic adverse effects associated with long-term antibiotic exposure.
OBJECTIVE
Liver involvement is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the frequency and the significance of liver function test (LFT) abnormalities in patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for underlying IBD have not been studied. The aim of this study was to
BACKGROUND
Fifty-one patients were operated on during 1988-1992 and randomized after total gastrectomy to one of two reconstruction types. Twenty patients with jejunal pouch reconstruction and 14 patients with Roux-en-Y reconstruction (67% of all) survived at least 3 years after total gastrectomy.
BACKGROUND
The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of pouchitis and villous atrophy on bone mineral density and metabolism at least 5 years after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis (UC).
METHODS
Eighty-eight subjects with a J-pouch operated on between 1985 and 1994, and
OBJECTIVE
Budesonide has been studied in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of oral budesonide on liver function tests in patients with PSC and pouchitis associated with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA).
METHODS
The study group
