Although ileal pouch-anal anastomosis has become the operation of choice for patients with chronic ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis coli, ileal pouch inflammation or pouchitis remains a significant postoperative complication. Numerous factors such as fecal stasis have been implicated in the etiology of pouchitis; however, pouchitis remains poorly understood due to the lack of a small animal model. One of the primary goals of this study was to surgically create a reservoir or U-pouch in the ileum of a rat in which stasis would occur in a manner that was unimpeded by other complicating factors such as a colectomy. This model would allow investigation of the hypothesis that intestinal stasis leads to biochemical changes that predispose the ileal pouch to inflammation and oxidative stress.
