Pouchitis is a frequent complication in ulcerative colitis patients after proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. It is an unspecific inflammation of the pouch with unknown aetiology. First-line treatment for acute and chronic pouchitis is antibiotics. Some cases of severe chronic refractory pouchitis may benefit from biological treatment. Anti-tumour necrosis factor should be recommended as the first option, leaving the new biologicals for multirefractory patients. Permanent ileostomy may be an option in severe cases
