About this trial

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare outcome after construction of an ileal (J-shaped) reservoir of 10 versus 15 centimeters in primary ileal pouch-anal anastomosis surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (implying a normal sphincter function as judged by history and clinical examination)

Signed informed consent

Able to perform both a small (10 cm) and medium-size (15 cm) pouch with adequate reach and no tension as determined subjectively by the surgeon intraoperatively

Disqualifiers

None

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pouch dysfunction score

Ranges from 0 to 7.5, where a low score indicates good bowel function will little to no impact on quality of life

Time frame
1, 3, 5 and 10 years after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire

Consists of 10 questions with a total score range from 10 (poor health-related quality of life) to 70 (good health-related quality of life)

Time frame
1, 3, 5 and 10 years after surgery
2

Short-form (SF)-36

Consists of questions relating to 8 domains of life with a total score ranging from 0-100, with lower numbers indicating worse health status

Time frame
1, 3, 5 and 10 years after surgery
3

Postoperative complications using the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI)

The CCI is a continuous scale, where each postoperative complication as defined by Clavien-Dindo is assigned a weigth based on its severity. A total summarized score taking all complications into account is thus generated.

Time frame
90 days after surgery
4

Pouch failure

Hazard ratio of pouch failure defined as an intended permanent ileostomy with or without pouch excision

Time frame
1, 3, 5 and 10 years after surgery
