Report

The Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain & Ireland established the Pouch Registry in 2005 and was relaunched in 2010 with a grant from the Bowel Disease Research Foundation and in collaboration with Dendrite Clinical Systems.  The First Ileal Pouch Registry Report was published in July 2012. It was the first of its kind to be published anywhere in the world and described the national experience of nearly 2,400 patients with ulcerative colitis and FAP undergoing restorative proctocolectomy.

This 2017 report is published with generous support from IA (The ileostomy & internal pouch Support Group). The number of patients registered has increased to over 5,000, entered into the Registry by around 150 pouch surgeons, including from 4 centres outside the United Kingdom. Data on 567 children and adolescents aged 19 and under are included in this report.
