Sammanfattning

BACKGROUND : The aim of this study was to examine whether the functional result of restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis deteriorated by postponing follow-up from three to eight years after pouch surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS : All patients (n = 58) operated for ulcerative colitis from 1984-97, who still had intact reservoir, responded to a questionnaire on defecating pattern, stool leakage, perianal irritation, urinary function, workload, sexual life, social life, and the patient's opinion on outcome. The results for the first 29 patients were compared to last 29 patients operated. Median follow-up was eight for the first 29 patients and three years for the last 29. RESULTS : There were no significant difference in functional outcome and patient opinion after pouch surgery between the first 29 and last 29 patients (n = 58). Respective figures for median 24-hour stool frequency were 7.0 and 6.3, leakage of stool 48% and 38%, ability to defer defecation 86% and 97%, perianal irritation 59% and 48%, use of antidiarrhoeal medication 55% and 52%, and wearing of pad 28% and 38%. Sexual life (n = 57) had improved for 11 (19%) and deteriorated for seven patients (12%). Potency was reduced in five (15%) and ejaculation in four patients (12%), one of whom (3%) had retrograde ejaculation. Three (5%) had received a disability pension and five (9%) had reduced workload. After the pouch operation 48 (91%) felt better and three (6%) felt worse because of frequent bowel emptying (n = 3), perianal eczema (n = 1) and pouch fistula (n = 1). INTERPRETATION : The results do not demonstrate any significant deterioration of functional outcome after pouch surgery for ulcerative colitis by postoperative increase of follow-up from three to eight years.
