11 DELAYED ILEAL POUCH ANAL ANASTOMOSIS HAS A LOWER 30-DAY ADVERSE EVENT RATE: ANALYSIS FROM THE NATIONAL SURGICAL QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

Ulcerative colitis (UC) patients requiring colectomy often have a staged ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA). There are no prospective data comparing timing of pouch creation. We aimed to compare 30-day adverse event (AE) rates for pouch creation at the time of colectomy (PTC) with delayed pouch creation (DPC).
