We evaluated whether any feature was associated an adverse postoperative outcome.Patients ulcerative colitis (UC) or IBDU undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) were prospectively examined. A checklist 17 features atypical for UC developed. Outcomes acute pouchitis (AP), chronic (CP), and de...
