Textbook Outcome After Ileal Pouch–Anal Anastomosis for Ulcerative Colitis: A Nationwide Multicenter Study and Its Implications for Long-Term Quality of Life

Textbook outcome is a feasible and clinically meaningful quality metric in ulcerative colitis ileal pouch-anal anastomosis surgery. Its achievement, improving over time with minimally invasive techniques, correlates with reduced pouchitis risk and may serve as a benchmark for surgical quality and outcomes in ulcerative colitis.
