Factors associated with long-term quality of life after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery Aug 16, 2018
Lavryk OA, et al. - Factors associated with quality of life (QoL) after ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) were investigated.

Outcomes suggest that patient’s QoL following IPAA mostly depends on the patient’s characteristics and minimal perioperative complications, not only in the short term but also in the long term.
