individual risk of progression in UC patients. Long term outcomes data on endo­scopic vs surgical management of dysplasia in UC are needed to understand when to perform endoscopic treatment versus radical surgical treatment. While surgery is denitive treatment for patients with UC with oncologic implications, total procto­colectomy is associated with 1% risk of perioperative mortality and long term changes in urinary, sexual and defecatory function with signicant impact on qual­ity of life [46].

Recommendations Based ontheData
UC patients with dysplasia should be managed in a multi-disciplinary setting, including IBD gastroenterologist, advanced endoscopist, pathologist and an IBD surgeon.
Most visible dysplastic lesions are amenable to endoscopic resection which should be performed by advanced endoscopists with expertise in EMR and ESD [47], with the aim to achieve an en bloc resection with negative margins to reduce the risks of recurrence [48]. For lesions larger than 20 mm, or where EMR is unlikely to be successful in achieving an en bloc resection, ESD is a valid alterna­tive [47]. However, ESD of dysplastic lesions has additional procedural risks quan­tied as 6.7% major bleeding rate and 2.9% perforation rate [27], that are usually managed successfully at the time of endoscopy.
If endoscopic resection of the all dysplastic lesions present is successful, and there is no dysplastic change in the at mucosa surrounding the lesion(s), these patients should undergo regular endoscopic surveillance, due to low risk of CRC after complete endoscopic resection of dysplasia [4950]. If histology conrms <1cm polypoid LGD lesions, the next surveillance colonoscopy can be performed at 1year. For HGD lesions, endoscopic resection is efcacious, although their pres­ence is associated with risk of synchronous CRC of 15% [51] and for this reason a re-examination of the resection site for dysplastic recurrence should be undertaken after 3–6months.
If the resected lesions have features of submucosal invasion, or contain signi­cant submucosal brosis limiting endoscopic resection (including irregular surface architecture, mucosal depression, radiating folds or failure to lift with submucosal injection) en block resection is difcult to be achieved and these patients should be considered for a colectomy. Figure10.2 summarises our current clinical approach to the management of visible colitis-associated dysplasia.
If invisible dysplasia is detected, then a repeat high-denition chromoendoscopy in an optimally-prepared patient should be performed by an experienced endosco­pist. Invisible LGD is an independent predictor of long-term progression to advanced neoplasia in multivariate analyses (two to three-fold increased risk) [45, 50]. Invisible HGD is an indication for colectomy due to the high associated CRC risk [52].
When surgery is advocated, total proctocolectomy is the preferred surgical approach, due to multifocal risk of cancer. The role of segmental colectomy or

rectum sparing surgery in patients with UC and dysplasia remains controversial due to the high rates of synchronous and metachronous neoplasia.
A Personal View oftheData
Colorectal cancer progression remains an area of concern in patient with UC and it is considered the most feared complication in patients with long standing colitis. Combining the aging population of UC patients with improved endoscopic tech­niques and increased use of medical treatment, dysplasia detection rates by experi­enced endoscopist can exceed 10% [53].
advocated with involvement of expert IBD gastroenterologist, interventional endos­copist, IBD pathologist and IBD surgeon. Patients should be counselled about risk of metachronous neoplasia despite continuous surveillance and successful endo­scopic resection. Patients should receive information about lesion-specic and patient- specic risk factors.
histologically-conrmed HGD, multifocality, invisible dysplasia, large (≥10mm) lesion size, and non-polypoid morphology [44, 45, 54]. Patient-specic risk factors include presence of PSC, previous dysplasia, signicant uncontrolled mucosal inammation, limitations to adequate mucosal assessment (e.g. colonic stricturing or pseudopolyposis) and a family history of CRC [54]. Fumery etal. [45],in their systematic review, found that among patients with UC associated LGD under sur­veillance, the annual incidence of progression to CRC was 0.8%/ Concomitant pri­mary sclerosing cholangitis, invisible dysplasia, distal location, and multifocal LGD are high-risk features associated with dysplasia progression [45]. All these risks factors should be discussed with the patient who is enrolled in a surveillance

program, considering that for UC, total proctocolectomy is curative, making the patient in a position to avoid future medical treatment and their side effects. This is even more relevant in patients with more than one risk factor considering that neo­plasia risk increases cumulatively in the presence of multiple risk factors [44].
Patients with well controlled disease might be reluctant to accept risks of pro­phylactic total proctocolectomy, with the associated changes in the quality of life. After multidisciplinary discussion and patient education a share decision approach

After Resection inCrohn’s Disease?

Introduction
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inammatory condition that affects the entire digestive tract, resulting in bowel damage such as stricture, stula, and perforation [3]. Up to 80% of patients experience surgery in their lifetime, of which approximately one­quarter require a second surgery, often within 5years of their previous surgery [4]. Endoscopic recurrence occurred in about 70% of patients within one year after sur­gery, which precedes clinical recurrence [5].
On the other hand, the introduction of novel immunosuppressive therapies had dramatically changed treatment strategies for Crohn’s disease. Biologics are also deemed effective in preventing recurrence following surgery [1], which has reduced the rate of reoperation in a cohort study [2]. However, biologics carry risks of adverse effects and can be of nancial burden both on patients and health care eco­nomics. Therefore, individualized evaluations and treatment plans organized by multidisciplinary team between surgeons and gastroenterologists are imperative to reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence.
In this chapter, we describe the evidence focusing on risk factors for postopera­tive recurrence of Crohn’s disease, and treatment options to clarify which patients benet from biologics to prevent disease recurrence after resection.

Results
Definition ofRecurrence
Recurrence as an outcome can be mainly divided into three categories: endoscopic, symptomatic, and surgical recurrence. The denitions of endoscopic and clinical recurrence can vary in each study as follows:
Endoscopic Recurrence
Rutgeerts score has been most commonly used as a postoperative endoscopic score of neoterminal ileum which is dened as follows: i0 indicates no lesions; i1 indi­cates <5 aphthous lesions; i2 indicates >5 aphthous lesions with normal mucosa between the lesions, or skip areas of larger lesions or lesions conned to the ileoco­lonic anastomosis; i3 indicates diffuse aphthous ileitis with diffusely inamed mucosa; i4 indicates diffuse inammation with already larger ulcers, nodules, and/ or narrowing [5]. In most clinical trials, Rutgeerts score i2 was most commonly dened as endoscopic recurrence, which has been reported to predict future clinical recurrence [6]. Since the location of inammation (e.g. at the anastomosis or at the terminal ileum) may inuence the recurrence risk, a recent study analyzed clinical recurrence by dividing Rutgeerts score of i2 into i2a and i2b in accordance to the location of inammation. However, this modied Rutgeerts score did not show a signicant difference regarding the subsequent clinical recurrence and the need for endoscopic or surgical intervention [7].

Clinical Recurrence
Clinical recurrence is commonly dened as follows: symptoms of active Crohn’s disease such as diarrhea and abdominal pain, Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) indicated 150 or 200, and Harvey-Bradshaw index (HBI) indicates ≥8, which are occasionally used as a composite outcome [1, 8, 9].
Surgical Recurrence
A new surgery including resection or stricturoplasty of the ileocolic anastomosis is homogeneously dened as surgical recurrence and reliable [10].
Risk Factors ofRecurrence After Resection
The emergence of biologics has made a positive impact on the reoperation rate of Crohn’s disease [2]. On the other hand, over-treatment should be avoided with regard to adverse effects and nancial burden both on patients and society. Therefore, identifying high-risk patients that truly benet from prophylactic biological treat­ment should be essential (Table11.2). Here we described the risk factors of postop­erative recurrence in Crohn’s disease.

Biographic Feature
Smoking has been consistently reported to increase postoperative recurrence in many studies [11, 12]. A meta-analysis showed a two-fold increase in the odds of clinical recurrence in smokers compared to that in non-smokers, and a 2.5-fold increase in the risk of further surgical resection within 10years [13]. Interestingly, current smokers have a higher odds ratio than ex-smokers which suggests smoking cessation may reduce postoperative disease recurrence [14]. Therefore, patient edu­cation for smoking cessation by a multidisciplinary approach should be conducted for smokers.
Complicated disease phenotypes such as perforation, penetrating, and perianal disease are regarded as postoperative risk factors [9, 12, 15]. Although those factors were widely used as patient selection criteria in clinical trials, they have not been fully validated.
Shorter disease duration before rst surgery was reported as a risk factor for surgical recurrence [16, 17]. Another study demonstrated that a shorter interval between rst and second surgery was associated with higher risk for a third surgery [18]. Although these studies utilized different denitions in terms of duration, a shorter timing of the need for surgery may suggest a more progressive phenotype.
Age and gender are controversial in regards to postoperative recurrence of Crohn’s disease [11].
Gut microbiota is considered to affect pathogenesis in Crohn’s disease. Dysbiosis in the mucosa such as reduction of alpha diversity and increase in pro-inammatory pathogenic bacteria may be associated with postoperative recurrence [19]. Several bacteria (e.g. Proteobacteria phylum and the Firmicutes phylum) were reported to predict endoscopic recurrence, but further study is needed to clarify the role of microbiome [20].
Genetic factors also may contribute to postoperative recurrence. There is a variety of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that predispose the individual to recurrence of Crohn’s disease. NOD2 has been shown to be associated with not only disease development and progressive phenotype but with postoperative sur­gical recurrence [21, 22]. SNPs in CARD15, SMAD3, and CARD8 were also found as risk factors for postoperative recurrence, but further validation is required [14, 23].
Preoperative Treatment
Whereas tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) brought a paradigm shift in the treatment of Crohn’s disease, a signicant proportion of patients still require sur­gery. Previous TNFi exposure as the risk of recurrence is understandable consider­ing the general efcacy of TNFi [9, 24]. Whereas ileocecal resection in uncomplicated ileitis may be a more benecial treatment option in regards to patient’s quality of life and long-term surgical recurrence compared with continued TNFi use or

intensication without surgical resection, patients with a previous history of resec­tion have been considered to have a higher risk of clinical recurrence [9, 11, 25, 26].

Surgery
Surgical strategy can inuence the rate of postoperative recurrence. A meta-analysis comparing laparoscopic resection with open ileocolic resection indicated that the surgical recurrence rate is not signicantly different between the two groups [27], while laparoscopic surgery is benecial in that it is less invasive than open surgery with possibly less postoperative complications [28, 27].
Stapled ileocolonic side-to-side anastomosis is associated with lower surgical recurrence than end-to-end anastomosis, which might suggest the importance of a wide diameter of anastomosis [29, 30].
An antimesenteric functional end-to-end handsewn anastomosis (Kono-S anas­tomosis) has recently been designed to maintain a wide anastomotic lumen and shape [31]. A recent RCT comparing Kono-S anastomosis and stapled ileocolonic side-to-side showed that Kono-S anastomosis signicantly decreased the rate of postoperative endoscopic recurrence at 6months and presented a longer recurrence­free duration [32].
Severe inammation of ileocolonic Crohn’s disease develops mesenteric thickening and fat wrapping. Some evidence showed ileocolic resection with the mesentery may reduce the rate of surgical recurrence since the removal of mes­entery could reduce immunological input and recruitment of broblast precur­sors [29, 33].
Positive resection margins, granuloma, and plexitis are associated with risk of postoperative recurrence [34, 35, 36]. However, an expanded resection margin was not preventative reoperation [37] and recent guidelines do not recommend extended resection [38, 39].
Postoperative Preventive Therapy
TNFi
TNFi have been a mainstream treatment for high-risk postoperative patients with Crohn’s disease. The rst placebo-controlled RCT which evaluated the efcacy of postoperative iniximab demonstrated that the iniximab group had a signicantly lower rate of endoscopic recurrence than the placebo group at one year [40]. Covering the limitation of small number of participants, the largest RCT which enrolled higher-risk populations with at least one of the following factors dened as short disease duration (<10years), penetrating phenotype, history of perianal stu­lae, or smoking history, revealed signicantly lower postoperative endoscopic recurrence at week 76in iniximab treated patients [9].
