This case study presents a 42-year-old male with a 14-year history of ulcerative colitis, steroid dependence, and azathioprine therapy, who develops low-grade dysplasia. Following an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), he experiences postoperative complications including hypotension, low urine output, pelvic discomfort, and abdominal pain. The management focuses on controlling bleeding, pelvic abscess, and establishing drainage, while also addressing significant postoperative symptoms such as impotence and foot drop. A comprehensive follow-up is planned for his mental and physical health.
