Aim: To assess surgical strategies and outcomes after subtotal colectomy for UC by calculating the proportions of patients who had further surgery 10 years post-STC and those who did not undergo surgery but who were under surveillance, and histological analysis of pathology specimens from STC and proctectomy. Methods: Patients who had STC for UC from 2002 to 2018 were identified. Variables of interest were extracted from electronic records. Survival analysis on reconstruction surgery was performed using Kaplan\u2013Meier curves. Curves were censored for loss from follow-up and death. Subtotal colectomy and proctectomy specimens were assessed by a pathologist for acute inflammation at the distal resection margin and within the resected bowel, and for dysplasia or cancer. Results: One hundred and ninety-two patients were included. Eighty-nine (46.3%) underwent proctectomy: eight had panproctocolectomy; thirty had completion proctectomy and the remaining fifty-one of the eighty-nine patients (27%) had IPAA. One patient who did not undergo a proctectomy had an ileorectal anastomosis. Sixty-one (69%) proctectomy specimens had active inflammation, with 29 (48%) including the resection margins. Of the 103 patients who did not have completion surgery, 72 (69%) were under surveillance as of August 2021. No patients in this non-operative group had developed cancer of the residual rectum at follow up. Conclusions: At 10 years after STC for UC, eighty-nine (46.4%) patients had proctectomy, of which fifty-two had IPAA (27%). However, no inflammation was found in the proctectomy specimen in one third of these patients. Therefore, it is possible that IRA may still have a role in the occasional patient with UC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12175729","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,4]],"date-time":"2023-09-04T02:43:20Z","timestamp":1693795400000},"page":"5729","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Long-Term Surgical Outcomes and Pathological Analysis of Proctectomy Specimens after Subtotal Colectomy for Ulcerative Colitis: A Retrospective Cohort Study from a Tertiary Centre"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Kethaki","family":"Prathivadi Bhayankaram","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cambridge Colorectal Unit, Addenbrooke\u2019s Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge CB2 0QQ, UK"},{"name":"West Suffolk Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Bury St Edmunds IP33 2QZ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeremy","family":"Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cambridge Colorectal Unit, Addenbrooke\u2019s Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge CB2 0QQ, UK"},{"name":"Division of Digestive Surgery, University Hospitals of Geneva, 1205 Geneva, Switzerland"},{"name":"Medical School, University of Geneva, 1206 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Boby","family":"Sebastian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"West Suffolk Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Bury St Edmunds IP33 2QZ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin","family":"Davies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cambridge Colorectal Unit, Addenbrooke\u2019s Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge CB2 0QQ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Wheeler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cambridge Colorectal Unit, Addenbrooke\u2019s Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge CB2 0QQ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"s1","DOI":"10.1136\/gutjnl-2019-318484","article-title":"British Society of Gastroenterology consensus guidelines on the management of inflammatory bowel disease in adults","volume":"68","author":"Lamb","year":"2019","journal-title":"Gut"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e036584","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2019-036584","article-title":"Incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease in UK primary care: A population-based cohort study","volume":"10","author":"Pasvol","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.1016\/S2468-1253(19)30333-4","article-title":"The global, regional, and national burden of inflammatory bowel disease in 195 countries and territories, 1990\u20132017: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017","volume":"5","author":"Alatab","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet Gastroenterol.
