Prognosis after resection of chronic regional ileitis.

Prognosis after resection of chronic regional ileitis.

Recurrence of the disease after resection of the diseased bowel is a well-recognized complication in the surgical treatment of regional ileitis. Published estimates of the recurrence rate, however, vary widely. Part of this variability is due to different lengths of follow-up, and part to the use of different definitions of recurrence and different methods of statistical analysis. These factors...

Regional Ileitis

Regional Ileitis (Crohn's Disease)

Duration of recurrent ileitis after ileocolonic resection correlates with presurgical extent of Crohn's disease.

Crohn's disease of the terminal ileum recurs in a predictable sequence proximal to the ileocolonic anastomosis after surgical resection. To confirm the suspicion that the duration of recurrent ileitis correlates with the extent of presurgical disease, this study investigated 23 consecutive patients with recurrent Crohn's disease symptoms who had undergone ileocaecal resections between 1982 and ...

Long-term prognosis after resection of cryptogenic hepatocellular carcinoma

BACKGROUND We investigated the patterns and predictors of recurrence and survival in cryptogenic non-B, non-C, non-alcoholic hepatocellular carcinoma (CR-HCC). We compared the findings with those hepatitis virus B (B) and hepatitis virus C (C)-HCC. CR-HCC does not include HCC developed on NASH. METHODS From 1990 to 2011, of 676 patients who underwent primary curative liver resection as initia...
