improved outcomes in colon and rectal surgery
Although TPMT testing is helpful in avoiding early, profound
bone marrow suppression, it should not take the place of careful
monitoring of full blood counts throughout the duration of treatment on AZA/6-MP. If the patient is a slow metabolizer, clinical
decision on treatment dose with consideration for lower dosing
and closer follow-up must be made, while those that are deficient
should not be treated due to bone marrow toxicity. Patients who
are found to be nonresponders are suggested to have metabolite
testing. The utility of measuring the 6-MP metabolites 6-TGN
and 6-MMP has been debated in the literature and even referred
to as the “metabolite controversy”. According to expert opinion, it
would seem reasonable to recommend checking 6-TGN/6-MMP
metabolites when patients are not achieving therapeutic efficacy
despite adequate weight-based dosing to ascertain noncompliance
or metabolism favoring 6-MMP.(59)
Methotrexate has also been shown to be effective in CD for
both treating active disease (66) and maintaining remission (67).
However, like AZA/6-MP, its slow onset of action limits its use in
induction therapy. Nausea is a common side effect of methotrexate,
but more serious concerns over opportunistic infections, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and hepatotoxicity add to the factors limiting
its use as a first line immunomodulator in treatment of CD.
Although some data have suggested a beneficial effect of highdose cyclosporine in active luminal CD (68), the benefit was not
durable (69). An open-label trial of 16 patients with fistulizing disease found that cyclosporine treatment resulted in 88% response
and 44% complete closure.(70) However, a comprehensive review
of the literature has shown that 39 patients with fistulizing disease
who were treated with cyclosporine had 82% relapse rate in absence
of oral cyclosporine.(71) Therefore, cyclosporine is not recommended for use in luminal CD and its use in fistulizing disease
with subsequent maintenance therapy on AZA/6-MP is debatable.
(72) Cyclosporine has several serious side effects including renal
failure, seizures, and opportunistic infections.
Biologic Response Modifiers
In 1998, the FDA approved use of Infliximab for use in treatment of
moderate to severely active CD and patients with fistulizing Crohn’s
disease, who have had inadequate response to conventional therapy. In fact, it is the first drug to gain FDA approval for treatment
of CD. Prior to the late 1990s, patients who had failed response to
first-line therapies or were steroid-dependent had few nonsurgical
options. The mechanism of action of biologic response modifiers
in CD is through the interaction of the interleukins and cytokines.
Neutrophils from patients with colitis (e.g., CD, ulcerative colitis,
and infectious colitis) all produce significantly more IL-1 and TNF
than neutrophils from healthy controls.(73)
Infliximab is a chimeric IgG-1 monoclonal antibody comprised of 75% human and 25% murine sequences, which has a
high specificity for and affinity to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α.
The pivotal trial for assessing the efficacy of Infliximab in CD in
1997 showed 33% rate of remission and 81% overall symptom
improvement in patients who had been resistant to conventional
treatment.(74) However, up to 40% of patients do not respond
to treatment initially. The standard dose of Infliximab at 5 mg/
kg of body weight given as infusion every 8 weeks can sustain
remission for up to 1 year in only 30% of initial responders. This
is likely due to a combination of loss of efficacy and intolerable
side effects. Infliximab also has modest steroid-sparing efficacy
where at week 54, about 3 times as many patients (29% vs 9%)
on Infliximab versus placebo had discontinued treatment with
corticosteroids while maintaining clinical remission.(75)
The efficacy of regularly scheduled treatment versus episodic
treatment with Infliximab for patients with CD was compared
in a posthoc analysis of the ACCENT I trial in 2004.(76) It was
shown that regularly scheduled treatment resulted in a higher
proportion of patients in remission at weeks 10, 14, 22, and 46
compared with the episodic treatment group. Patients were also
found to have improved mucosal healing, less likelihood of having antibodies to Infliximab, fewer Crohn’s-related hospitalizations, and fewer surgeries if on regularly scheduled treatment.
Infliximab therapy causes antibody formation in up to 61%
of patients and they correlate with increased risk of transfusion
reactions as well as decline in efficacy.(77) Concomitant use
of AZA/6-MP has been shown to reduce rate of antibodies to
Infliximab (ATI), although currently there is no prospective trial
comparing remission and response rates in patients concomitantly using AZA/6-MP and Infliximab.(78–80)
Infliximab is also effective in closure of perianal enterocutaneous and rectovaginal fistulas and maintaining fistula closure. Two
prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trials have shown
closure rate of 55% at week 4 and maintenance of closure in 39%
of patients respectively.(81, 82)
In February 2007, Adalimumab gained FDA approval for the
treatment of moderate to severe CD. Adalimumab is a fully human
recombinant immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody
that binds with high affinity and specificity to human soluble TNF.
Its efficacy is similar to Infliximab except that there is currently
not enough evidence to comment on its value in fistulizing disease.(83) However, certain features make it more attractive for
use in clinical practice. It is thought that Adalimumab may be
less immunogenic because it is a fully human antibody. Indeed,
some evidence does exist for inducing remission in those who
cannot tolerate Infliximab or have disease activity despite receiving Infliximab therapy.(84) Another advantage is that it is administered as a subcutaneous injection whereas Infliximab must be
given as an infusion.
Main side effects of Infliximab and Adalimumab include infections, infusion reactions, serum-sickness-like reactions and a possible increased risk of lymphoma. A tuberculin skin test should be
done before initiating therapy, as reactivation of latent tuberculosis
is a potential complication.
Prevention of Postoperative Recurrence
Approximately 75% of patients with CD require surgery within
the first 20 years after symptom onset.(85, 86) Several studies have
shown that, 1-year postresection, the endoscopic recurrence rate
is near 73% with clinical relapse rate of 50% in 5 years.(87, 88)
Increased risk of recurrence is associated with the following prognostic variables at the time of surgery: female gender, perianal disease, smoking, use of 5-ASA, jejunal site, ileal and ileocolonic site,
and Nod2/Card15 gene variants. Severity of endoscopic recurrence at the neoterminal ileum within 1 year of surgery was found
to be the most powerful predictor of symptomatic recurrence.(89)

surgery for crohn's disease
Most studies of postoperative recurrence of CD have found that
endoscopic findings predate clinical relapse.
Management options to prevent postoperative recurrence vary
and depend on the patient. The first line treatment, despite marginal efficacy, has been mesalamine. Most studies only demonstrate a modest relative risk reduction in recurrence rates when
compared to placebo. A recent meta-analysis showed an absolute risk reduction of 10% in postoperative patients at 2 years.
(90) The largest benefit was found in pts with ileitis and prolonged disease duration. The number needed to treat (NNT) to
prevent one relapse was found to be 10 patients.(91) Whether or
not this is a clinically relevant finding and the financial cost and
effort spent in taking these medications merit their use is highly
debatable. Azathioprine and 6-MP have both been used extensively in the postoperative patient, but data is limited and shows
only modest efficacy for prevention of recurrence. The general
consensus is that larger blinded controlled trials are warranted.
A randomized, prospective, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind, double-dummy trial done in 2004 by Hanauer showed
relapse rates of 50% with 6-MP (50 mg), 58% with mesalamine
(3 g), and 77% with placebo.(92) There were several shortcomings
in this study, including the use of a suboptimal fixed dose of 6-MP,
a high drop-out rate, higher clinical vs endoscopic relapse rate, and
lack of a validated, reproducible clinical index used to judge clinical
relapse. A prospective, open-label, randomized study of 142 patients
who received AZA (2 mg/kg/day) or mesalamine (3 g/day) for
24 months found AZA effective in preventing relapse in those patients
who had undergone previous intestinal resection.(93) Shortcomings
of this study included open label bias. Currently, AZA/6-MP use is
recommended for postoperative prophylaxis in those patients who
are deemed to have high risk of recurrence or in those for whom
recurrence would have substantially harmful effects.
The use of antibiotics has been long debated in the prevention of
recurrence in the postoperative Crohn’s patient. There are no large
controlled trials that show clear effectiveness of the use of antibiotics
in postoperative Crohn’s patients beyond 1 year. One large trial on
metronidazole has shown a 4% clinical recurrence rate in the treatment group versus 25% in placebo group at 1 year, 52% endoscopic
recurrence versus 75% in the placebo group at 3 months, and no
significant difference in clinical recurrence rate at 2 or 3 years.(94)
Another trial of Ornidazole showed an 8% clinical recurrence versus
38% with placebo at 1 year, but no significant difference at 2 or
3 years.(95) These agents may be considered for prevention of postoperative recurrence but their utility beyond 1 year and potential for
considerable side effects in long- term use limit their clinical utility.
The last group that has shown possible effectiveness in postoperative Crohn’s patients is the biologic response modifiers, but
these have yet to be adequately studied in this setting. A nonrandomized, open-label, single-center experience involving 7 patients
who received Infliximab with methotrexate has demonstrated no
endoscopic or clinical recurrence at 2 years.(96) Adalimumab has
not been studied in this respect. Multicenter, randomized, controlled studies are needed to further define the role of Anti-TNF
agents in postoperative recurrence of CD.
Treatments that have been shown to be ineffective in the prevention of postoperative recurrence are systemic corticosteroids,
budesonide, probiotics, and interleukin-10.

There is no proof that any food or substance is responsible for
causing the initial episode or recurrence of CD.(97) The biggest
challenge in patients with CD is restoration and maintenance of
weight, particularly in the presence of sepsis and/or obstruction.
SURGICAL TREATMENT
Indication
Table 32.2 summarizes the indications for surgical treatment of
a CD.(98)
Surgical management of CD has changed considerably during the past as a result of numerous advances in medical therapy.
Regardless of these developments, patients with CD will undergo
a surgical procedure in up to 80% of the cases.(99) Patients often
come to the surgeons office with worsening symptoms, a complication, or as steroid-dependent.
Failure of medical therapy or complications of medical therapy •
Surgery may be indicated if the medication cannot control
inflammation and its symptoms, or if the medication causes
significant intolerable or inducible side effects. Symptoms that
can be an indication for surgery includes diarrhea, anemia, pain,
weight loss, sepsis, and obstruction. Most patients are either steroid-dependent or steroid-resistent (100) by the time of surgical
consultation. In addition, pancreatitis from GRMP, osteoporosis
from steroids, and leucopenia from infliximab are all potential
reasons for surgery to be recommended.
Acute and chronic disease complications •
Although rates are decreasing, up to 20% of procedures are still
performed to treat acute complications.(101) Among the indications is toxic megacolon, obstruction, hemorrhage, perforation
with or without peritonitis, and abscess.
Perforation
According to the Viena classification, intestinal perforation is a
penetrating disease. The penetrating disease behavior is defined
by the occurrence of intraabdominal or perianal fistulas, inflammatory masses or abscesses, or perianal ulcers at any time in the
course of disease. Neither postoperative intraabdominal complications nor perianal skintags constitute evidence of penetrating
disease.(102) Penetration of the bowel wall often presents not as
an acute abdomen but as an indolent process related to fistulization. Diffuse peritonitis due to perforation is a rare but recognized
complication of Crohn’s disease. Perianal disease manifestations
include perianal pain and drainage from large skin tags, anal

improved outcomes in colon and rectal surgery
fissures, perirectal abscesses, and anorectal fistulae. Emergency
surgical therapy for a perforation behavior includes: free perforation, intraabdominal abscess or masses with sepsis, and intestinal
obstruction.
In Crohn’s disease, free perforation is a rare but severe complication occurring in 1% to 3% of cases.(103) Free perforation
in the absence of a megacolon should alert for the suspicion of
CD. It can occur anywhere in the gastro-intestinal tract, from
the stomach through the colon; a distal stricture might exist and
make the perforation possible. Other etiologies for perforation
include the presence of malignancy, and of endoscopic procedures. Frequently, the perforations are sealed. Gastro-duodenum
perforations are best treated by debridement and primary suture.
For jejuno-ileal perforations, resection and primary anastomosis
are best if feasible and conditions favorable. Factors associated
with postoperative complications include abscess, enterocutaneous fistulae, steroid-dependence, and albumin <2 g/L. If one or
more of the risk factors is present, a diversion is suggested.(104)
Colonic perforation in Crohn’s colitis, often seen in the setting
of toxic colitis, usually requires subtotal colectomy with rectal
preservation and end ileostomy. If the etiology is not toxic colitis, a segmental resection and fecal diversion might be an option.
(105) A postcolonoscopic perforation must be managed regarding the absence or presence of CD at the site of perforation and
elsewhere in the colon. If the perforation occurs in a diseased segment, the segment along with the perforation is reseated to allow
reconstruction with or without fecal diversion depending upon
the factors mentioned above.(104) If perforation occurs during
a follow-up for surveillance, resection or primary repair may be
feasible.
Abscess
Between 10–30% of patients with CD may present with intraabdominal abscesses. Abscesses can develop because of a local
sealed perforation, in association with a fistula, or postoperatively
because of intraabdominal contamination or anastomotic leakage.
Yamaguchi et al. found that almost 50% of the abscess were due
to an anastomosis (surgical anastomosis and peristomal) (106),
Preoperative percutaneous transcutaneous drainage and administration of antibiotics is preferable if possible. Otherwise, surgery
with resection of the disease site is necessary.
Perianal CD
Perianal Crohn’s Disease (PCD) occurs in 5–25% of CD patients
and can be associated with active disease in the proximal gastrointestinal tract or colon in about one-third to one-half of
patients. It is often associated with colonic and rectal inflammation. Perianal manifestations include cutaneous (tag and ulcerations), anal canal lesions (fissures, ulcers, stenosis), and septic
(abscess, fistulas) (Figure 32.3).
The purpose of surgical treatment in PCD is to improve quality
of life and offer effective palliation, and therefore is reserved for
patients who develop perianal complications of the disease or are
unresponsive to aggressive medical therapy. The surgical treatment of PCD can be divided into two main categories: urgent and
emergent treatment (to control perineal sepsis); and elective (to
treat sequelae such as perianal fistulas and anal strictures).(107)
Figure 32.3 Typical perianal Crohn’s Disease with associated fistulas and scars from
prior surgery (Picture taken by Badma Bashankaev, M.D., Cleveland Clinic Florida).
Prompt and definitive surgical incision and drainage is
required in all patients suspected of having acute abscesses.
These lesions will not spontaneously resolve and delays can lead
to uncontrolled sepsis with necrotizing infections, sphincter
impairment and anal stenosis. If a fistula is identified a noncutting Seton (nonabsorbable suture) is inserted through the fistula
tract to ensure continuous drainage, leading to the resolution
of the perianal sepsis. Primary fistulotomy should be avoided.
Premature removal of the seton increases the incidence of recurrent perianal sepsis. If the abscess is superficial, the procedure
may be completed under anesthesia. It is important to minimize trauma or additional injuries so that the incision must be
as close as possible to the anal verge. Excision of skin edge or
latex mushroom catheter placement can be utilized to obtain
adequate drainage.
Fistulotomy can be safely performed on simple (low) fistulas
which do not include any significant portion of the external anal
sphincter, in patients without active proctitis, well-controlled
proximal luminal disease and adequate continence.
Endorectal advancement flap is a surgical technique that
repairs perineal fistulas with the preservation of anal sphincter
function. The principal idea of this procedure is to surgically
close the internal opening of the fistula using a flap made of rectal wall, allowing the healing of the fistula from inside out. The
reported success rate of endorectal advancement flap in patients
with Crohn’s perianal fistulas ranges from 25 to 100% in different
series, with an average success of approximately 50–60%.(108)
Elective surgery for PCD may include procedures for nonfistulous
complications such as dilation of anorectal strictures. Most commonly, however, patients with PCD will require surgery to repair
perianal and rectovaginal fistulas not responsive to medical therapy, which may include fistulotomy, fibrin glue injection, transanal
endorectal flap advancement, and gracilis muscle interposition.
Fibrin Glue is a technically simple procedure for the treatment of
perianal fistulas and it is associated with low risk and early return
to normal activity. Fibrin glue is a blood by-product that uses the
activation of thrombin to form a fibrinclot, mechanically sealing the

surgery for crohn's disease
fistula tract. Series using fibrin glue for perianal fistulas of mixed etiologies have yielded success rates of approximately 30–70%.(109)
Gracilis transposition can be an option in patients after proctocolectomy or others types of CD related fistulas in whom other
options may have failed before proctocolectomy.(110) Occasionally,
temporary diverting colostomy or ileostomy is required to control
symptoms, and in extremely severe cases resistant to both medical and surgical therapy, proctectomy or proctocolectomy may be
required.
The PCD score developed by Wexner et al. can be very helpful
in selecting therapeutic alternatives and in prognostication.(111)
The PCD Activity Index analyzes 6 features in PCD: abscess,
fistula, fissure and/or ulcer, stenosis, and incontinence.
Obstruction
Gastrointestinal obstruction usually results from acute active
inflammation superimposed on a stenotic segment. Mass effect
from an adjacent phlegmon or abscess is not an uncommon scenario. Malignancy must be excluded in CD strictures involving the
colon. Yamazaki et al. noted a 6.8% malignancy rate in 132 patients
with colonic Crohn’s disease complicated by stricture.(112)
Although traditionally by-pass without vagotomy was considered the best option for gastro-duodenal obstruction strictureplasty has become acceptable.(113)
Complete or near-complete intestinal obstruction unresponsive to medical therapy requires surgical correction. Depending on
location, this treatment involves either resection or strictureplasty.
(114) If malignancy is present or suspected, a resection is obviously
indicated following standard oncologic principles.
Bleeding
Whereas mild gastrointestinal bleeding is a common manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease, severe bleeding is a rare
phenomenon. CD has been reported to be an established source
of gastrointestinal hemorrhage, in 0.9% to 2.5% of patients with
this disease.(115) CD bleeding is often from a localized source.
This is caused by erosion of a blood vessel within multiple deep
ulcerations that extend into bowel wall. The small bowel is the
site of bleeding in 65% of cases, whereas the colon was involved
in 12%, and in 23% the site could not be identified.
It is important to exclude a gastroduodenal source before bowel
resection. Angiography is often performed to identify and possibly
treat the bleeding site by selective or superselective angiographic
infusion of vasopressin.(116) Embolization should be the initial
treatment of choice in CD in an attempt to avoid surgical resection. Cirocco et al. (115) reported that surgical resection offered
excellent palliation, with low mortality (3%) and a low rebleeding rate (3.5%). Surgery is indicated in those patients who fail to
show improvement of bleeding after 4 to 6 units of blood, have
recurrent hemorrhage, or have other indications to resect diseased
bowel.(114) A bowel preparation is contraindicated, and the aim
is to remove the patient from life threatening hemorrhage.
Toxic Megacolon
Toxic megacolon is a potentially lethal complication which has
gradually decreased in incidence because of earlier recognition
and intensive management of severe colitis. A possible mechanism
is that mucosal inflammation sequentially leads to the release of
inflammatory mediators and bacterial products, increased nitric
oxide syntheses, generation of excessive nitric oxide, and colonic
dilation. Toxic megacolon affects all ages and both genders. Signs
and symptoms of acute colitis that are frequently resistant to
therapy are often present for at least 1 week before the onset of
acute dilatation. Severe bloody diarrhea is the most common presenting symptom, while improvement of diarrhea usually occurs
because of the onset of megacolon. Other futures include malaise
and abdominal pain and distention.(117) Up to 47% of patients
require surgery due to failure in medical therapy. Factors affecting
mortality are age (>40), gender (female), and presence of colonic
perforation. The overall mortality rate is 16%.(118)
Although the frequencies of performed emergency surgery
have decreased, improved medical treatment has lead to higher
rates of elective operations. Siassi et al. published a 33 years experience, and prospectively found that the rates of elective surgery rose from 69.5% (1970 to 1980) to 81.4% (1981–1991) and
80.9% (1992–2002) (101). This change might reflect the changes
in disease location. Combined large/small bowel resections such
as ileocecal resections increased from 27.5% (1970–1980) to
41.9% (1981–1991) and 67.1% (1992–2002) (101), as CD limited
to this region that is unresponsive to medical management is best
treated by ileocolectomy and anastomosis (119). Similar results
were found by Reissman et al. with a 59% rate of ileocolectomy
and anastomosis.(120)
SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS IN SURGICAL TECHNIQUES
FOR CD PATIENT
The philosophy behind surgical intervention in Crohn’s disease
rests on the fact that Crohn’s disease is currently incurable and
potentially involves the entire intestine, and that surgery relieve
only the complications.
Strictureplasty
Over one-third of patients with CD will develop an intestinal
stricture and the great majority of these will require at least
one surgical procedure. The initial view was that strictureplasty
should only be undertaken for recurrent disease and in patients
who have had previous multiple resections. The potential benefits
of any surgery include symptom relief, improved nutritional status, and reduced dependence on medication. The most obvious
advantage of strictureplasty over resection is that the development
of short bowel syndrome can be avoided. All jejunoileal strictures
and most duodenal strictures are able to strictureplasty.(121) The
procedure can also be undertaken in patients with symptomatic
anastomotic strictures. Table 32.3 shows current indications for
strictureplasty and contraindications.(122)
There are two main types of operation used. The Heineke–
Mikulicz procedure is used for strictures of up to 10 cm in length.
For strictures up to 25 cm long, the Finney procedure (a side to side
amastomosis) is done. Most of the others methods of strictureplasty
are generally derivations of one of the above methods, or a combination of both. In 2000, Tichansky et al. published a meta-analysis
that showed that Heineke-Mikulicz technique is most often used
for Crohn’s strictureplasty. However, the outcome revealed that the
Finney strictureplasty may reduce the reoperation rate.(123)

The morbidity rate ranges from 10.2–13%, with fistula formation as the most frequent complication.(123) Strictureplasty has
been found to be a safe and efficacious procedure for small bowel
Crohn’s disease.(124)
(A)
(B)
Resection
The most common surgery is ileocolic resection (Figure 32.4a,
32.4b, 32.4c), usually undertaken for medical therapy failure, fistula,
obstruction, mass, perforation, or malignancy. The development of
malignancy increased to 4 to 20 times of the average population.
As previously mentioned, strictureplasty site should be evaluated
for intraoperative biopsy and resection, the only procedure which
should be considered in the setting of carcinoma. Over the past two
decades, laparoscopic resection has demonstrated clear superiority
over laparotomy relative to postoperative recovery, cost, morbidity,
cosmesis, and long-term bowel obstruction.(125–128)
Regardless of the technique of resection performed, the anastomosis should be between two and of grossly normal bowel.
Histologic disease free margins and further resection add no benefit and may predispose to the onset of short bowel syndrome.
Bemelman et al. (129) showed that medical therapy was able
to prevent surgery in one third of the cases of CD in the terminal
ileum. Patients who probably will fail medical therapy are those
with stenosis, extraintestinal manifestation, or known history of CD
for more than 5 years. Some patients might undergo resection if the
obstruction is contra-indicated to have strictureplasty. Many studies
compare the outcomes between medical therapy and conventional
laparoscopic procedure. A meta-analysis done in 2007 showed
14 studies with 881 patients. The operative time for laparoscopic
surgery was longer, but morbidity was lower.(130)
The Surgical treatment for large bowel Crohn’s disease has
included total proctocolectomy, segmental colectomy or colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA), depending on severity and
disease distribution. Conventional proctocolectomy is reserved
for those patients with anorectal involvement, but in the 50%
of patients with large bowel Crohn’s disease with rectal sparing,

segmental resection or colectomy with an ileorectal anastomosis has
been used. A meta-analysis done in 2005 comparing segmental ver-
resection diminishes over time, especially from more than 20 years
after the first resection.(133)
sus subtotal ⁄ total colectomy concluded that both procedures were
equally effective as treatment options for colonic Crohn’s disease,
however, patients in the SC group exhibited recurrence earlier than
those in the IRA group.(131) The choice of operation is dependent
on the extent of colonic disease. Better outcomes are expected for
IRA in patients with two or more colonic segments involved.
A meta-analysis done in 2007 compared the end-to-end anastomisis to other configurations (132) and found that end-to-end
anastomosis after resection for Crohn’s disease may be associated
with increased anastomotic leak rates. Side-to-side anastomosis
may lead to fewer anastomotic leaks and overall postoperative com-
Bypass
Bypass surgery enjoyed popularity many decades ago, at the beginning of CD surgery, when complication rates for resection were
high. However, it fell out of use due to high rates of recurrence,
great metabolic changes, higher risk of malignancy, and higher
rates of postoperative complications.(104)
Bypass surgery is currently undertaken for duodenal stricture,
although fecal diversion may have a long dysfunctional segment.
Diversion without resection may be indicated in very selective
situations, like severe perianal disease.(134)
plications, a shorter hospital stay, and a perianastomotic recurrence
rate comparable to end-to-end anastomosis. Further randomized,
controlled trials should be performed for confirmation
Resection is contra-indicated in duodenum stricture, due the
high risk of the procedure. In order to avoid short small bowel
syndrome, the resection should include macroscopic intestinal
disease. It is known that activity of CD necessitating intestinal
POSTOPERATIVE RECURRENCE AFTER SURGERY
Rates for recurrence after resection are up to 73% after 1 year,
although only 20% of patients have symptoms. After 3 years,
recurrence has been noted in 85% of patients, with symptoms
present in only 34%. The site of recurrence is usually the anastomosis site.(135)

improved outcomes in colon and rectal surgery
Reoperation for recurrence rates after strictureplasty is between
24–26% after 5 years. Medical therapy may have a great value in
lowering rates of recurrence. Smoking significantly increases the
risk of recurrence after surgery for CD, especially in women, and
it is dose-dependent. Another feature that influences recurrence
after surgery is a short duration of disease before surgery.
The site of the disease also affects recurrence rates, as small bowel
and ileocolic disease have higher rates of recurrence (Figure 32.5a,
32.5b, 32.5c, 32.5d). Perforation is associated with a higher rate
of recurrence in patients who have had a colonic resection.(136)
Gender, family history of CD, blood transfusion, length of resection,
presence of granuloma in the specimen, and postoperative complications do not correlate with recurrence.
QUALITY OF LIFE AFTER SURGERY:
Patients who undergo surgical treatment for CD experience improvement in Health-related Quality of Life (HRQL) up to 1 year after
surgery. Most of the studies focus on assessment of quality of life for
ileocolic resection, the most common procedure. Controversies exist
as to whether there is actually improvement or not in a long term follow-up for these patients. Thaler et al. (137) concluded that HRQL
actually reduces in patients with CD in a long-term follow-up, no
matter whether the surgery was open or laparoscopic compared to a
normal control population. And recurrence was the most important
factor adversely affecting quality of life.
Casellas et al. (138) analyzed the impact of previous surgery
for complicated or refractory CD on HRQOL. The results indicated that patients with active CD have a serious impairment in
HRQOL and patients with a history of previous surgical bowel
resection are not different from patients who have never had
surgery, as long as those patients remain in clinical remission.
