About this listen
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guests: Darrell S. Pardi, M.D., and Laura E. Raffals, M.D.
Pouchitis is a relatively common complication in patients who have ulcerative colitis and have had a proctocolectomy with an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. It represents inflammation of the ileal pouch and symptoms may include increased stool frequency, cramps, fecal urgency and occasionally bloody stools. The diagnosis is usually suspected from clinical symptoms and confirmed with endoscopy. Are there risk factors for the development of pouchitis? Is an endoscopy necessary for a diagnosis? How should patients be treated and how effective is treatment? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guests, Darrell S. Pardi, M.D., and Laura E. Raffals, M.D., both gastroenterologists at the Mayo Clinic. We’ll be discussing “Pouchitis” as part of our podcast series on “Inflammatory Bowel Disease”.
