Adenomatous polyposis syndromes (APS) patients with ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) suffer frequent symptoms with scarce signs of inflammation, distinct from ulcerative colitis patients. While the management of pouchitis in ulcerative colitis patients is well established, data regarding response to treatment modalities targeting pouch-related disorders in APS patient population is scarce.
