  1. Histopathology and post-operative complications in pediatric ulcerative colitis

    22/02/2022

    Our study found that Paneth cell metaplasia in the rectum length may lead to decreased odds of post-operative complications following the J-pouch procedure, while the remaining histological parameters did not show evidence of predicting post-operative complications. This knowledge is clinically important and relevant for pathologists and gastroenterologists who may consider using the Geboes et al. score or PROTECT score to identify histopathological parameters that could predict the presence of post-operative complications. Consequently, they can communicate relevant findings to surgeons during post-operative treatment planning.
