Complications after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in Korean patients with ulcerative colitis

Figure 1 Treatment outcomes for pouch-related complications following ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in Korean patients with ulcerative colitis. Most of the pouch-related complications were treated successfully and pouch failure developed in two patients. IPAA: Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis; UC: Ulcerative colitis; PCD: Per-cutaneous drainage; Tx: Treatment; I and D: Incision and drainage.

Figure 2 Stool frequencies after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. A: Bowel movements/day was compared between patients with early pouch-related complications (n = 12) and early pouch-related complication-free patients (n = 59) (7.0 ± 2.3 movements/d vs 5.0 ± 2.2 movements/d); B: Bowel movements/day was compared between patients with late pouch-related complications (n = 21) and late pouch-related complication-free patients (n = 50) (7.0 ± 2.4 movements/d vs 5.0 ± 2.1 movements/d).
