title: [Pouchitis--what do we know after 30 years?].
abstract: The restorative proctocolectomy is a surgical procedure performed from 30 years in patients with ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. The ileal pouch anastomosed with anal spincters replaces the function of the excised colon and enables the natural rout of intestinal contents. The most frequent postoperative complication is pouchitis, often lowering the estimation of the operation. Authors described the current opinions in ethiopathogenesis and treatment of this disease.
