Q

what is pouchitits

A

after a proctocolectomy which removes the colon and rectum

arthritis
-sacroiliitis
-ank spond (HLA)
DVT risk increased

35
Q

investigations ibd

A
  • crp and esr
  • low haem and anaemia
  • low albumin

  2. small bowel
  3. colon
39
Q

what is the window of opportunity for cd

A

ie the window in which anti-inflammatory can be given to prevent strictures
as don’t have anti-fibrosis

40

feeling like need to empty bowels even though colon empty

which has the higher risk of malignancy uc or cd

A

UC

59
Q

indiction for emergency surgery versus elective

A

emergency

  • acute toxic dilation no response 48 hrs
  • perforation
  • severe bleeding
  • failure to respond to med therapy

elective

  • failure to respond to med therapy

60
Q

definition of if medical management of UC is not working

A
day 3
-stools 3-8
-crp>45
day7
->3 bloody diarrhoea
need to change management
61
Q

surgical managementof UC

A
-total colectomy with ileostomy and closure of rectal stump/ rectosigmoid mucus fistula
then
