Abstract
Among 971 patients with chronic ulcerative colitis who underwent ilealpouch anal anastomosis during an 8-year period from January, 1982 to December 1989, 30 patients were randomly selected from each year (total = 240 patients) for an assessment of their long-term functional results and quality of life as of 1990. Patients undergoing cholecystectomy during each of the same years served as “controls” (20 patients/year, total = 160 patients). All 400 patients completed a written questionnaire that measured bowel habits, overall quality of life, general health, and performance in sports/recreation, travel, sex life, family relationship, occupational work, social activities, and household activities. Ileo-anal patients had more frequent stools (median, 6 stools/day) and more fecal spotting (68% of patients had episodes) than cholecystectomy patients (median, 1 stool/day, 13% had episodes,ppp<0.05). A pesar de la alteración en el hábito intestinal, el 90% de los pacientes manifestó una excelente calidad global de la vida, el 76% gozó de buena salud y el 91% tuvo un buen rendimiento en las áreas investigadas. En efecto, la calidad de la vida y el rendimiento aparecieron similares entre los pacientes ileoanales y los colecistectomizados; por lo demás, la calidad de la vida y los hábitos intestinales se mantuvieron estables en ambos grupos en el curso de los ocho años de seguimiento. En conclusión, los resultados funcionales fueron satisfactorios y la calidad de la vida fue excelente luego de una anastomosis ileo-bolsa anal, y ésto no pareció deteriorarse con el avance de la edad en el período de seguimiento de ocho años.Keywords
