Pouchitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the ileal pouch during ileal pouch-anal anastomosis surgery. Despite its clinical significance, precise immunological mechanisms underlying pouchitis remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the lymphocyte profile in the ileal pouch of patients with pouchitis compared to those with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and ulcerative colitis without pouchitis using flow cytometry and immunohistochemical techniques.
