Pouchoscopy provides a critical objective measure in the evaluation of patients with suspected inflammatory conditions of the pouch; however, there remain significant gaps in the reliability of the endoscopic scales used in the assessment of these conditions.1,2 Reliability and reproducibility in the assessment of patients after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) are critical, as evidenced by recent efforts to improve standardization in the evaluation of patients with pouch-related disorders.3.
