Thank you, Bob. So, on we go with pouch surgery. Who? How? Laparoscopic ? Problems? Challenges? #DDF2015

Folk rarely keen to go for an ileostomy. Can be good for some but not for most patients #DDF2015

Depends on your definition of success #DDF2105

Depends on your definition of success #DDF2015

Patient happy with good quality of life and not wishing to return to a stoma #DDF2015

Best to concentrate skills. Especially in terms of post op and long term problems #DDF2015

Re rates of complications- yes especially since the recent Montgomery ruling #DDF2015

Re Outcomes - suggest unit outcomes rather than individuals. We work as teams #DDF2015

We need to avoid pouch rectostomy #DDF2015 - From Pete Sagar

Agree with centralisation. Numbers are crucial - not an op for the occasional pouch surgeon #DDF2015

Patient reported outcomes seem to be the trendy new thing Ms Harji #DDF2015

Yes individual skills and experience at getting out of trouble are also v important #DDF2015

Stages depends mainly on drugs. Be careful with steroids above 15mg and biologicals . Subtotal colectomy first in these folk #DDF2015

#DDF2015 Fertility seems to better with laparascopic surgery Jayne Eaden - from Pete Sagar

@the_official_jm Arun R Rafeeq Agree, follow up benefits patients as well as giving us good long term data on outcomes #DDF2015

Pouch vaginal fistula - best treatment? #DDF2015

To sum up, encourage lap approach, centralise and don't dismiss all pouch problems as pouchitis #DDF2015
