Stages of ileal pouch anal anastomosis procedures compared. Legend: Each box represents a surgery. The first line depicts the 1-stage IPAA procedure. The second line depicts the traditional 2-stage IPAA procedure. The third line depicts the traditional 3-stage IPAA procedure. The fourth line depicts the modified 2-stage IPAA procedure. The shaded boxes represent the surgery in which the pouch creation takes place. In the analyses presented, we compared outcomes after pouch creation at the time of colectomy (darker shade) with delayed pouch creation (lighter shade).
