    Abstract Aim: A robotic approach to ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) surgery offers advantages over other approaches in terms of precision, improved access to the pelvis and less muscular fatigue for the surgeon. The integrity of the anastomosis is also fundamental to successful IPAA surgery. The robotic platform can permit intracorporeal suturing deep within the pelvis to create a single-stapled, double purse-string anastomosis, which may reduce the risk of anastomotic complications. This study describes the safety and early outcomes of robotic intracorporeal single-stapled anastomosis (RiSSA) amongst patients operated consecutively at a tertiary centre immediately before and following the pandemic.
    Method: A retrospective study of prospectively collected data analysing the outcome of patients undergoing robotic IPAA between 2019 and 2022 was conducted. All procedures were performed with the da Vinci Xi Surgical System (with a hand-assisted suprapubic incision to fashion the pouch). All pouch-anal anastomoses were performed using a double purse-string, single-stapled (RiSSA) method. Demographic, clinical and outcome data were collected.
    Results: Twenty consecutive patients (nine with ulcerative colitis and 11 with familial adenomatous polyposis) were included with a median age of 25 years (range 16-52); 18 had American Society of Anesthesiologists classification II, and mean body mass index was 24 kg/m
    Discussion: RiSSA offers a safe and feasible alternative technique to other minimally invasive approaches with low rates of anastomosis-related complications.

    Abstract Fistula laser closure (FiLaC) is a relatively new sphincter-sparing technique in fistula surgery that was initially reported in 2011. It involves the radial dissipation of laser energy in the fistula tract and, through a combination of coagulation and shrinkage of the tract, is proposed to result in progressive sealing of fistulas. Early studies have suggested minimal impact on continence and touted the advantage of minimal morbidity with potential of repeat procedures if the technique fails initially. Despite early promising results, ten years on, questions remain on the technique, patient selection and long-term outcomes. This narrative review assesses the evidence reported to-date of radially emitting laser fistula surgery in the treatment of perianal fistulas.

    Abstract Purpose: The likelihood of a stoma following ileocolic resection (ICR) for Crohn's disease (CD) is an important consideration. This study aims to identify the factors associated with an increased likelihood of a stoma and develop a predictive scoring system (SS).
    Methods: Patient data were collected from St. Marks Hospital, London, UK and Humanitas Clinical and Research Center, Milan, Italy, on all patients who underwent an ICR for CD from 2005 to 2017. A logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis. The SS was developed from the logistic regression model. The performance of the SS was evaluated using receiver operating characteristics area under the curve (AUROC).
    Results: A total of 628 surgeries were included in the analysis. Sixty-nine surgeries were excluded due to missing data. The remaining 559 were divided into two cohorts for the scoring system's development (n = 434) and validation (n = 125). The regression model was statistically significant (p < 0.0001). The statistically significant independent variables included sex, preoperative albumin and haemoglobin levels, surgical access and simultaneous colonic resection. The AUROC for the development and validation cohorts were 0.803 and 0.905, respectively (p < 0.0001). Youden's index suggested the cut-off score of - 95.9, with a sensitivity of 87.6% and a specificity of 62.9%.
    Conclusions: Male sex, low preoperative albumin, anaemia, laparoscopic conversion and simultaneous colonic resection were associated with an increased likelihood of requiring a stoma and were used to develop an SS. The calculator is available online at https://rebrand.ly/CrohnsStoma .

    Abstract Background: Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the most established restorative operative approach for patients with ulcerative colitis. It has associated morbidity and the potential for major repercussions on quality of life. As such, patient selection is crucial to its success. The main aim of this paper is to present an institutional preoperative checklist to support clinical risk assessment and patient selection in those considering IPAA.
    Methods: A literature review was performed to identify the risk factors associated with surgical complications, decreased functional outcomes/quality of life, and pouch failure after IPAA. Based on this, a preliminary checklist was devised and modified through an iterative process. This was then evaluated by a consensus group comprising the pouch multidisciplinary team (MDT) core members.
    Results: The final preoperative checklist includes assessment for risk factors such as gender, advanced age, obesity, comorbidities, sphincteric impairment, Crohn's disease and pelvic radiation therapy. In addition, essential steps in the decision-making process, such as pouch nurse counselling and discussion regarding surgical alternatives, are also included. The last step of the checklist is discussion at a dedicated pouch-MDT.
    Discussion: A preoperative checklist may support clinicians with the selection of patients that are suitable for pouch surgery. It also serves as a useful tool to inform the discussion of cases at the MDT meeting.

    Abstract Aim: The literature regarding monoclonal antibodies and increased postoperative complications in inflammatory bowel disease remains controversial. There have been no studies investigating tofacitinib. The aim of this work was to determine preoperative exposure to the small-molecule inhibitor tofacitinib and postoperative outcomes.
    Method: We conducted a retrospective review of all adult patients exposed to tofacitinib within 4 weeks of total abdominal colectomy for medically refractory ulcerative colitis between 1 January 2018 and 1 September 2020 at four inflammatory bowel disease referral centres. Data collected included patient demographics and 90-day postoperative morbidity, readmission and reoperation rates.
    Results: Fifty-three patients (32 men, 60%) with ulcerative colitis underwent a total abdominal colectomy (n = 50 laparoscopic, 94%) for medically refractory disease. Previous exposure to monoclonal antibodies included infliximab (n = 34), adalimumab (n = 35), certolizumab pegol (n = 5), vedolizumab (n = 33) and ustekinumab (n = 10). Twenty-seven (51%) patients were on concurrent prednisone at a median daily dose of 30 mg by mouth (range 5-60 mg). There were no postoperative deaths. Ninety-day postoperative complications included ileus (n = 7, 13.2%), superficial surgical site infection (n = 4, 7.5%), intra-abdominal abscess (n = 2, 3.8%) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) (n = 7, 13.2%). Locations of VTE included portomesenteric venous thrombus (n = 4), internal iliac vein (n = 2) and pulmonary embolism (n = 1). Nine (17%) patients were readmitted to hospital and five (9%) patients had a reoperation.
    Conclusion: Mirroring the recently issued US Food and Drug Administration black box warning of an increased risk of VTE in medically treated ulcerative colitis patients taking tofacitinib, preoperative tofacitinib exposure may present an increased risk of postoperative VTE events. Consideration should be given for prolonged VTE prophylaxis on hospital discharge.

    Abstract Aim: This systematic review aimed to assess the outcomes of fistulotomy or fistulectomy and immediate sphincter repair (FISR) in relation to healing, incontinence and sphincter dehiscence both overall and in patients with high anal fistulae.
    Methods: Medline, Embase and The Cochrane library were searched for studies of patients undergoing FISR for anal fistula. Data regarding healing, continence and sphincter dehiscence were extracted overall and for high anal fistulae. The DerSimonian-Laird random-effects method was used for pooled analysis, heterogeneity between studies was assessed based on the significance of between-study heterogeneity, and on the size of the I
    Results: We identified 21 studies evaluating 1700 patients. Pooled analysis of healing reached 93% (95% CI: 91%-95%, I
    Conclusion: The evidence suggests FISR is a safe, effective procedure. However, data are limited by inconsistencies in reporting of continence and definition of fistula height, particularly high anal fistulae. Significant heterogeneity means that outcomes in high fistulae remain uncertain.

The remaining 543 were divided into two cohorts for the development (n = 418) and validation (n = 125) of the scoring system. The regression model was statistically significant (p < 0.0001). The statistically significant independent variables included the time since diagnosis, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, perioperative use of steroids, surgical access, strictureplasty and platelet count. The AUROCs for the development and validation cohorts were 0.732 and 0.7, respectively (p < 0.0001). The cut-off score suggested by Youden's index was 50, with a sensitivity of 65.6% and a specificity of 73.3%.
    Conclusion: The time since diagnosis, ASA grade, steroid use, surgical access, strictureplasty and platelet count were associated with a prolonged LOS and were used to develop a scoring system. The calculator is available online at https://rebrand.ly/Crohnscal.
