BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) frequently undergo restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for medically refractory disease or colonic dysplasia/neoplasia. Subtotal colectomy with ileosigmoid or ileorectal anastomosis may have improved outcomes but is not well studied. Due to increased risk for colorectal cancer in PSC-IBD, there is hesitancy to perform subtotal colectomy. We aim to describe the frequency of colorectal dysplasia/neoplasia following IPAA vs subtotal colectomy in PSC-IBD patients. METHODS We completed a retrospective study from 1972 to 2022 of patients with PSC-IBD who had undergone total proctocolectomy with IPAA or subtotal colectomy. We abstracted demographics, disease characteristics, and endoscopic surveillance data from the EMR. RESULTS Of 125 patients (99 IPAA; 26 subtotal), the indication for surgery was rectal sparing medically refractory disease (51% vs 42%), dysplasia (37% vs 30%) and neoplasia (11% vs 26%) in IPAA vs subtotal colectomy patients, respectively. On endoscopic surveillance of IPAA patients, 2 (2%) had low-grade dysplasia (LGD) in the ileal pouch and 2 (2%) had LGD in the rectal cuff after an average of 8.4 years and 12.3 years of follow-up, respectively. One (1%) IPAA patient developed neoplasia of the rectal cuff after 17.8 years of surgical continuity. No subtotal colectomy patients had dysplasia/neoplasia in the residual colon or rectum. CONCLUSIONS In patients with PSC-IBD, there was no dysplasia or neoplasia in those who underwent subtotal colectomy as opposed to the IPAA group. Subtotal colectomy may be considered a viable surgical option in patients with rectal sparing PSC-IBD if adequate endoscopic surveillance is implemented.
