Localization of recurrent lesions following ileocolic resection for Crohn’s disease

Crohn's disease after ileocolic resection.

Laparoscopic-Assisted Ileocolic Resection for Crohn's Disease

BACKGROUND This study reviews our experience with laparoscopic-assisted ileocolic resection in patients with Crohn's disease. The adequacy and safety of this procedure as measured by intraoperative and postoperative complications were evaluated. Special attention was paid to the group in which laparoscopy was not feasible and conversion to laparotomy was necessary. METHODS Between 1992 and 20...

Laparoscopic Ileocolic Resection for Crohn's Disease Associated With Midgut Malrotation

Midgut malrotation is an anomaly of fetal intestinal rotation. Its incidence in adults is rare. A case of midgut malrotation in a 51-year-old man with complicated Crohn's disease of the terminal ileum is presented. Symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment are reviewed. Preoperative workup led to correct surgical planning that ultimately allowed a successful laparoscopic resection.

Predictive factors for endoscopic recurrence after ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease.

lators and biologic agents, approximately 70%-80% of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) undergo surgical resection and up to 70% of these require a second operation due to continuing inflammation (1). Therefore, postoperative recurrence (POR) still remains a crucial issue. The mechanism of POR is not exactly known, but it may be mediated by luminal contents. POR can be determined and measured c...

Updating predictors of endoscopic recurrence after ileocolic resection for Crohn disease.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Identifying predictors of endoscopic recurrence (ER) has become very important to guide the decision of postoperative strategy. This study aimed to determine the rate of endoscopic recurrence until 12 months after ileocolic resection for Crohn disease (CD) in a cohort and identify its possible predictors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective single-center study t...
