    Abstract Background: The IPAA has been successful in restoring intestinal continuity and preserving continence in the majority of patients requiring a proctocolectomy. However, a subset of individuals experience significant complications that might result in pouch failure. The conversion of the J-pouch to a continent ileostomy pouch represents a significant surgical procedure. In this article, we discuss the indications and contraindications, present the technical principles applied for the conversion, and describe the outcomes of such conversion in the literature.
    Objective: The main objective during the conversion of the J-pouch to a continent ileostomy is the creation of a sufficiently sized reservoir with a high-quality valve mechanism while preserving as much small bowel as possible.
    Conclusions: The conversion of the J-pouch to a continent ileostomy represents a significant surgical procedure. When performed in centers of expertise, it can be a good option for patients who otherwise will require an end ileostomy. Indications for conversion include most cases of J-pouch failure, with a few important exceptions. See video from symposium .

    Abstract Background and study aims: The treatment of anorectal strictures is particularly challenging and historically focused on surgical resection and/or diversion. There are a number of endoscopic options, but repeat interventions are common. The use of the needle knife stricturotomy technique as an alternative to surgery in the treatment of a variety of strictures has been described, but its use for the treatment of severe anorectal and anopouch strictures has not been studied.
    Patients and methods: Our Inflammatory Bowel Disease department’s records were queried to identify patients with endoscopic non-traversable anorectal/anopouch strictures. Consecutive patients that underwent insulated tip/needle-knife endoscopic stricturotomy treatment were included. Primary outcome was immediate traversability of the treated stricture by the endoscope. Other outcomes included need for reintervention, 30-day post-procedure events, and follow-up period events.
    Results: All strictures were immediately successfully traversed following endoscopic stricturotomy treatment. The mean time to endoscopic reintervention was 5.3 months, with the majority of these patients undergoing repeat stricturotomy. Over a mean follow-up period of 12.8 months, two patients (8%) required surgical intervention (resection with coloanal anastomosis with a colostomy and complete proctectomy) for refractory stricture disease following initial endoscopic stricturotomy. Seven patients (29%) in our study have not required any further reintervention throughout the study period. There were no 30-day post-procedure adverse events and no adverse post-procedure events.
    Conclusions: Endoscopic stricturotomy is safe and effective in treating severe anorectal/anopouch strictures.

    Abstract Background: Strictures are a common complication after ileal pouch surgery with the most common locations being at the anastomosis, pouch inlet, and stoma closure site. No previous literature has described endoscopic therapy of stoma site stricture. This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of endoscopic therapy in the treatment of stoma closure site strictures.
    Method: Patients diagnosed with stoma closure site strictures following ileal pouch surgery who underwent endoscopic treatment at the Center for Colorectal Diseases, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and Ileal Pouch between 2018 and 2022 were analysed. Primary outcomes (technical success and surgery-free survival) were compared between endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) and stricturotomy and/or strictureplasty.
    Results: A total of 30 consecutive eligible patients were analysed. Most patients were female (66.7%) and most patients were diagnosed with IBD (93.3%). Twenty patients (66.7%) had end-to-end anastomosis. A total of 52 procedures were performed, with EBD in 16 (30.8%) and stricturotomy and/or strictureplasty in 36 (69.2%). The mean stricture length was 1.7 ± 1.0 cm. Immediate technical success was achieved in 47 of 52 interventions (90.4%). During a mean follow-up of 12.7 ± 9.9 months, none of the patients underwent surgical intervention for the stricture. Fourteen (46.7%) required endoscopic re-intervention for their strictures with an interval between index and re-interventional pouchoscopy of 8.8 ± 6.3 months. Post-procedural complications were reported in 2 (6.7%) with bleeding and none with perforation. Upon follow-up, 20 (66.7%) patients reported improvement in their symptoms.
    Conclusion: EBD and endoscopic stricturotomy and/or strictureplasty are safe and effective in treating stoma closure site strictures in patients with ileal pouches, providing symptomatic relief in most patients as well as avoiding surgery.

    Abstract Crohn's disease (CD) can involve the entire gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus and can lead to a constellation of symptoms. With the advancement of effective medical treatments for CD, a tendency has emerged to consider surgical treatment as a last resort. This potentially has the disadvantage of delaying surgery and if it fails might leave patients sicker, less well nourished, and with more severe complications. As with most non-malignant diseases, the choice of surgery vs medical treatment is a patient's personal preference under the guidance of the treating physician, except in extreme situations where surgery might be the only option. In this article, we will discuss the available evidence regarding the optimal timing of surgery in CD, focusing on whether early surgery can bring benefits in terms of disease control, symptom relief, and quality of life.
