Risk factors for readmission following ileal pouch-Anal anastomosis: an American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program analysis

One-third of patients undergoing IPAA experience an unplanned 30-d readmission. Infectious complications and dehydration account for most of the unplanned readmissions. Outpatient pathways to prevent dehydration and the use of extended VTE prophylaxis after two-stage IPAA may help reduce the rates of readmission following IPAA.
