Surgical Treatment for Crohn's Disease: A Role of Kono-S Anastomosis in the West.

ABSTRACT: More than 80% of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) will require surgical intervention during their lifetime, with high rates of anastomotic recurrence and stenosis necessitating repeat surgery. Current data show that pharmacotherapy has not significantly improved the natural history of postoperative clinical and surgical recurrence of CD. In 2003, antimesenteric hand-sewn functional end-to-end (Kono-S) anastomosis was first performed in Japan. This technique has yielded very desirable outcomes in terms of reducing the incidence of anastomotic surgical recurrence. The most recent follow-up of these patients showed that very few had developed surgical recurrence. This new approach is superior to stapled functional end-to-end anastomosis because the stumps are sutured together to create a stabilizing structure (a "supporting column"), serving as a supportive backbone of the anastomosis to help prevent distortion of the anastomotic lumen due to disease recurrence and subsequent clinical symptoms. This technique requires careful mesenteric excision for optimal preservation of the blood supply and innervation. It also results in a very wide anastomotic lumen on the antimesenteric side. The Kono-S technique has shown efficacy in preventing surgical recurrence and the potential to become the new standard of care for intestinal CD.

The Role of Inflammation in Crohn's Disease Recurrence after Surgical Treatment.

Project description:IntroductionPostoperative recurrence after surgery for Crohn's disease (CD) is virtually inevitable, and its mechanism is poorly known.AimTo review the numerous factors involved in CD postoperative recurrence (POR) pathogenesis, focusing on single immune system components as well as the immune system as a whole and highlighting the clinical significance in terms of preventive strategies and future perspectives.MethodsA systematic literature search on CD POR, followed by a review of the main findings.ResultsThe immune system plays a pivotal role in CD POR, with many different factors involved. Memory T-lymphocytes retained in mesenteric lymph nodes seem to represent the main driving force. New pathophysiology-based preventive strategies in the medical and surgical fields may help reduce POR rates. In particular, surgical strategies have already been developed and are currently under investigation.ConclusionsPOR is a complex phenomenon, whose driving mechanisms are gradually being unraveled. New preventive strategies addressing these mechanisms seem promising.

Antimesenteric cutback end-to-end isoperistaltic anastomosis (Sasaki-Watanabe anastomosis) for Crohn's disease: Novel surgical technique and early results of surgical anastomotic recurrence.

Project description:BackgroundAntimesenteric cutback end-to-end isoperistaltic anastomosis (Sasaki-Watanabe anastomosis; Sasaki-W anastomosis), which was developed in our department, is a novel hand-sewn anastomotic technique for Crohn's disease intended to prevent anastomotic stenosis and preserve the peripheral circulation.AimThe aim of the present study is to present the surgical technique of Sasaki-W anastomosis and to assess the safety and the early results of the surgical anastomotic recurrence of Sasaki-W anastomosis.Patients and methodsThe present study was a single-center retrospective cohort study. As an early-period group, 13 patients with Crohn's disease, who were mainly selected from cases considered to be at high risk of recurrence, underwent 15 Sasaki-W anastomoses from August 2009 to January 2012. As a late-period group, 36 patients with Crohn's disease, who were selected regardless of risk factors, underwent 37 Sasaki-W anastomoses from September 2016 to March 2020. The medical data including patient characteristics, surgical records, postoperative details, and surgical recurrences were assessed.ResultsThere were no intraoperative complications. With a median follow-up of 107 mo, surgical recurrence occurred in one patient at 106 mo after surgery in the early-period group. The cumulative surgical recurrence-free rate in the early-period group was 100% at 5 y and 86% at 10 y after surgery. No patients required reoperation in the late-period group.ConclusionSasaki-W anastomosis is safe and feasible. Although long-term study is needed, this anastomotic technique can be a reasonable operative option for Crohn's disease.

Surgical treatment of colonic Crohn's disease: a national snapshot study.

Project description:AimThe different surgical options for patients with colonic Crohn's disease (CD) include segmental colectomy, subtotal colectomy or proctocolectomy with end ileostomy. We present a national, multicentre study, promoted by the Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery with the aim to collect benchmark data and national variations on multidisciplinary management and postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for colonic CD.MethodsAll adult patients having elective surgery for colonic CD from June 2018 to May 2019 were eligible for participation in this retrospective study. The primary outcome measure was postoperative morbidity within 30 days of surgery.ResultsOne hundred twenty-two patients were included: 55 subtotal colectomy, 30 segmental colectomy, 25 proctectomy and 12 proctocolectomy. Eighty-six patients (70.4%) were discussed at the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) multidisciplinary team meeting (MDT) prior to surgery. This ranged from 76.6% for segmental colectomy to 60% for subtotal colectomy, 66.6% for proctocolectomy and 48% for proctectomy. The proportion of patients counselled by a stoma nurse preoperatively was 50%. Laparoscopy was associated with reduced postoperative morbidity (p = 0.017) and shorter length of hospital stay (p < 0.001), whilst pre-operative anti-TNF was associated with Dindo-Clavien ≥ 3 complications (p = 0.023) and longer in-hospital stay (p = 0.007). The main procedure performed (segmental colectomy, subtotal colectomy, proctocolectomy or proctectomy) was not associated with postoperative morbidity (p = 0.626).ConclusionsSurgery for colonic CD has a high rate of postoperative complications. Almost a third of the patients were not preoperatively discussed at the IBD MDT, whilst the use of minimally invasive surgery for surgical treatment of colonic CD ranges from 40 to 66%.

The role of stents in the treatment of Crohn's disease strictures.

Project description:Stenosis is one of the most frequent local complications in Crohn's disease (CD). Surgery is not the ideal treatment because of the high rate of postoperative recurrence. Endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) currently is the current treatment of choice for short strictures amenable to the procedure. However, it is not applicable or effective in all the cases, and it is not without related complications. Our goal was to summarize the published information regarding the use and the role of the stents in the treatment of CD stricture. A Medline search was performed on the terms "stricture," "stenosis," "stent" and "Crohn's disease."a total of 19 publications met our search criteria for an overall number of 65 patients. Placing a self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) may be a safe and effective alternative to EBD and/or surgical intervention in the treatment of short stenosis in patients with CD. Indications are the same as those for EBD. In addition, SEMS may be useful in stenosis refractory to EBD and may be suitable in the treatment of longer or more complex strictures that cannot be treated by EBD. With the current information, it seems that the best treatment option is the placement of a fully covered stent for a mean time of 4 weeks. Regarding the use of biodegradable stents, the information is limited and showing poor results.the use of stents in the treatment of strictures in CD should be taken into account either as a first endoscopic therapy or in case of EBD failure.

Surgical treatment of perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease: from lay-open to cell-based therapy--an overview.

Project description:BackgroundPerianal Crohn's disease (CD) can be challenging. Despite the high incidence of fistulizing CD, literature lacks clear guidelines. Several medical, surgical, and combined treatment modalities have been proposed, but evidences are scarce.MethodsWe searched the literature to assess the facets of perianal CD, with particular focus on complex fistulae. Disease epidemiology, classification, diagnosis, activity scoring systems, and medical-surgical treatments were assessed.ResultsPerianal fistulizing CD is common, frequently associated with upper gastrointestinal and colorectal CD. Complex fistulas often require repeated treatments. Continence is a major concern when dealing with repeated procedures. A prudent pathway is to resolve active sepsis and to limit damages, delaying a definitive treatment to the time when acute phase has been controlled. The improved diagnostic techniques allow better preoperative planning and are useful in monitoring the response to treatment. Besides newer devices, cell-based treatments are promising tools which have recently enriched the treatment portfolio. However, the need for proctectomy is still disturbingly high in CD patients with complex perianal fistulae.ConclusionsPerianal CD can impair quality of life and lead to need for proctectomy. A staged approach is reasonable. Treatment success can be improved by multimodal treatment and collaborative management by experienced gastroenterologists and surgeons.

Nutritional Treatment in Crohn's Disease.

Project description:Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which can affect any part of the whole gastrointestinal tract (from mouth to anus). Malnutrition affects 65-75% of CD patients, and it is now well acknowledged that diet is of paramount importance in the management of the disease. In this review, we would like to highlight the most recent findings in the field of nutrition for the treatment of CD. Our analysis will cover a wide range of topics, from the well-established diets to the new nutritional theories, along with the recent progress in emerging research fields, such as nutrigenomics.

Alterations in Blood Plasma Metabolome of Patients with Lesniowski-Crohn's Disease Shortly after Surgical Treatment-Pilot Study.

Project description:Lesniowski-Crohn's disease (CD) is a type of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of uncertain etiology. Initially, pharmacological management is undertaken; however, surgical intervention is necessary to improve life quality and relieve symptoms in most cases. Here changes are reported in blood metabolome that occurred three days after the ileo-colic region resection in the case of seven patients. Alterations are observed in levels of metabolites associated with multiple mitochondrial pathways, based on the Metabolite Set Enrichment Analysis, reflecting a high energy demand in the post-operative period. As most of these metabolites are also essential nutrients supplied from foods, we believe that our results might contribute to the discussion on perioperative nutrition's role in enhanced recovery.

Experiences with the Kono-S anastomosis in Crohn's disease of the terminal ileum-a cohort study.

Project description:PurposeThe most frequent long-term complication after ileocecal resection in Crohn's disease is anastomotic recurrence and subsequent stenosis. Recurrence typically begins at the site of the anastomosis, raising the question of whether the surgical technique of the anastomosis could affect recurrence rates. Kono-S anastomosis is a hand-sewn antimesenteric functional end-to-end anastomosis that offers a wide lumen that is well accessible for endoscopic dilatation. The purpose of our study is to review the rate of postoperative complications almost 2 years after the introduction of this technique.Materials and methodsThis is a prospective single-center cohort study of all consecutive patients with Crohn's disease undergoing ileocecal resection. Patients' characteristics as well as specific data for the surgical procedure and short-term outcome were evaluated.ResultsThirty patients were operated for Crohn's disease of the terminal ileum (n = 24) or anastomotic recurrence (n = 6). Postoperative complications with a Clavien-Dindo Score ≥ IIIb were observed in three patients. One patient showed a hemorrhage and underwent surgical hemostasis. Two patients developed anastomotic leakage; in both cases, ileostomy was created after resection of the anastomosis. The median hospital stay was 9 days (IQR 7-12). A comparison with a historic group of conventionally operated patients of our hospital revealed no differences in short-term results except for the duration of surgery.ConclusionThe Kono-S anastomosis is associated with acceptable short-term results, complications, and recurrence rates comparable with the established anastomotic techniques. Longer operation times are observed, but the few published studies concerning long-term recurrence are promising.

Surgical considerations for the "perfect" colorectal anastomosis.

Project description:A technically sound colorectal anastomosis is paramount in optimising outcomes and reducing complications such as anastomotic leak which can lead to prolonged hospital stay, repeated operations, stoma formation, anastomotic stricture formation and even mortality in patients. Therefore, thorough consideration should be given to all aspects of its construct, from its basic mechanical configuration to subsequent evaluation of anastomosis integrity and perfusion. Risk factors for anastomotic leakage are well established and are usually classified into modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. In this review article, we will focus on and discuss the modifiable surgical risk factors and how the authors incorporate latest evidence and surgical principles in creating a "perfect" colorectal anastomosis. We review the latest evidence on the proper mechanical construct of a colorectal anastomosis, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), high versus low ligation of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA), routine splenic flexure mobilisation (SFM), the use of indocyanine green (ICG), as well as methods used for the evaluation of the anastomosis integrity. New adjuncts described in the literature to reinforce anastomoses are also discussed. In summary, meticulous technique with nuanced refinements based on our understanding of surgical principles, together with the adoption of relevant new technologies, are essential in our strive towards the "perfect" colorectal anastomosis.

Colovaginal anastomosis: A totally unacceptable surgical error.

Project description:IntroductionThe low anterior rectal resection and double stapling technique are well-established surgical procedures with well-known pitfalls, potential complications, and preventive measures. Colovaginal anastomosis is a surgical error which should not occur.Presentation of caseA 39-year old woman underwent low anterior resection with double stapling technique, for rectal carcinoma in the City Hospital. On the fifth postoperative day she noticed passage of gas and two days later passage of feces from vagina. The surgeons who performed the operation explained to her that it is a normal condition for such modern procedure that is supervised by international educator engaged by the Government. The patient lived with this condition, passage of gas and feces from the vagina and nothing from anus for three months when her oncologist referred her for a second opinion at the University Clinic for Digestive Surgery. The digital examinations revealed a blind rectal stump, and feces in vagina; thus having the patient's history in mind, we assumed that the patient had a colovaginal anastomosis. Our assumption was confirmed by two succeeding radiological examinations. Initially, water soluble contrast enema was performed to assess the colon, when a clear-cut blind rectal stump was detected. Afterwards, the vaginography revealed a copious flow of contrast material from the vagina toward the sigmoid colon. After a few days, a restorative surgery was done.DiscussionMost of the early postoperative complications are a result of surgical errors.ConclusionWe believe that there is no excuse for such a surgical error and postoperative follow-up.
