The efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation for patients with chronic pouchitis: A case series

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Pouchitis is one of the most common complications that develop after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch‐anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. Single fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) by colonoscopy was performed safely on three patients with pouchitis. However, the efficacy of FMT on pouchitis was limited.
