Full Guidelines-From the Medical Board of the National Psoriasis Foundation: Perioperative management of systemic immunomodulatory agents in patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. J Am Acad Dermatol 2024; 91:251.e1-251.e11. [PMID: 38499181 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2024.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic immunomodulatory agents are indicated in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Perioperative use of these medications may increase the risk of surgical site infection (SSI) and complication. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk of SSI and complication in patients with chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease receiving immunomodulatory agents (tumor necrosis factor-alfa [TNF-α] inhibitors, interleukin [IL] 12/23 inhibitor, IL-17 inhibitors, IL-23 inhibitors, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 costimulator, phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, Janus kinase inhibitors, tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, cyclosporine (CsA), and methotrexate [MTX]) undergoing surgery. METHODS We performed a search of the MEDLINE PubMed database of patients with chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease on immune therapy undergoing surgery. RESULTS We examined 48 new or previously unreviewed studies; the majority were retrospective studies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. CONCLUSION For low-risk procedures, TNF-α inhibitors, IL-17 inhibitors, IL-23 inhibitors, ustekinumab, abatacept, MTX, CsA, and apremilast can safely be continued. For intermediate- and high-risk surgery, MTX, CsA, apremilast, abatacept, IL-17 inhibitors, IL-23 inhibitors, and ustekinumab are likely safe to continue; however, a case-by-case approach is advised. Acitretin can be continued for any surgery. There is insufficient evidence to make firm recommendations on tofacitinib, upadacitinib, and deucravacitinib.

The relationship between the number of disease-modifying anti-inflammatory bowel disease drugs used and the risk of surgical resection. J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 28:836-842. [PMID: 38575464 DOI: 10.1016/j.gassur.2024.03.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Disease-modifying anti-inflammatory bowel disease drugs (DMAIDs) revolutionized the management of ulcerative colitis (UC). This study assessed the relationship between the number and timing of drugs used to treat UC and the risk of colectomy and postoperative complications. METHODS This was a retrospective review of adult patients with UC treated with disease-modifying drugs between 2005 and 2020 in the MarketScan database. Landmark and time-varying regression analyses were used to analyze risk of surgical resection. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to determine risk of postoperative complications, emergency room visits, and readmissions. RESULTS A total of 12,193 patients with UC and treated with disease-modifying drugs were identified. With a median follow-up time of 1.7 years, 23.8% used >1 drug, and 8.3% of patients required surgical resection. In landmark analyses, using 2 and ≥3 drugs before the landmark date was associated with higher incidence of surgery for each landmark than 1 drug. Multivariable Cox regression showed hazard ratio (95% CIs) of 4.22 (3.59-4.97), 11.7 (9.01-15.3), and 22.9 (15.0-34.9) for using 2, 3, and ≥4 drugs, respectively, compared with using 1 DMAID. That risk was constant overtime. The number of drugs used preoperatively was not associated with an increased postoperative risk of any complication, emergency room visits, or readmission. CONCLUSION The use of multiple disease-modifying drugs in UC is associated with an increased risk of surgical resection with each additional drug. This provides important prognostic data and highlights the importance of patient counseling with minimal concern regarding risk of postoperative morbidity for additional drugs.

Two-step versus three-step proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis: a comparative study on nutritional status, immunosuppressive therapy, and long-term outcome. Tech Coloproctol 2024; 28:62. [PMID: 38824195 DOI: 10.1007/s10151-024-02931-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite novel medical therapies, rates of surgery in ulcerative colitis remain relevant. While various surgical approaches for multistep proctocolectomy are available, overall evidence is low and robust recommendations are lacking for individual procedures especially in case of refractory inflammation and signs of malnutrition. METHODS All patients who received multistep proctocolectomy between 2010 and 2021 for ulcerative colitis were evaluated and divided into two groups (two-step/2-IPAA [ileal pouch-anal anastomosis] versus three-step/3-IPAA proctocolectomy). Patient characteristics as well as short- and long-outcomes were individually analyzed. RESULTS Surgical techniques were explained in detail. Fifty patients were included in the study with 27 patients receiving 2-IPAA and 23 patients 3-IPAA. Rates of postoperative complications were comparable for both groups. While patients receiving 2-IPAA were more often suffering from malignancy, 3-IPAA resulted in a significant increase of hemoglobin and albumin levels as well as a reduction of immunosuppressive medication. Rates of stoma reversal trended to be reduced for 3-IPAA compared to 2-IPAA (52.2% vs. 77.8%, p = 0.06). CONCLUSION Three-step proctocolectomy with creation of sigmoidostomy is a safe procedure and reasonable surgical approach in patients with preoperatively high dosages of immunosuppressive medication or risk factors such as persistent active inflammation and anemia.

Abstract
Cancer therapeutics has been revolutionized by the introduction of molecularly targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The paradigm of neoadjuvant therapy is commonly employed across multiple solid tumors, exhibiting significant clinical benefit as exemplified with ICIs in melanoma and non-small-cell lung cancer. However, neoadjuvant therapy can be associated with treatment-related adverse events. As the incorporation of these novel therapies in the preoperative space expands, it is crucial for surgical oncologists to understand the potential perioperative implications of these treatments. This article focuses on surgical considerations tied to these treatments, highlighting potential drug-surgery interactions and complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION While minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approaches are commonly utilized in the elective surgical setting for pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC), their role in urgent and emergent disease is less clear. We aim to assess trends in the surgical approaches for pediatric UC patients requiring urgent and emergent colectomies and their associated outcomes. METHODS Retrospective review of 81 pediatric UC patients identified in National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric who underwent urgent or emergent colectomy (2012-2019). Trends in approach were assessed using linear regression. Patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were stratified by approach and compared using standard univariate statistics. Multivariable analysis was used to model the influence of covariates on postoperative length of stay. RESULTS The proportion of MIS cases increased by 5.53% per year (P = 0.01) over the study interval. Sixty-three patients (77.8%) received MIS resections and 18 patients (22.2%) received open resections. Patients undergoing open colectomies were younger and had a higher proportion of preoperative conditions, most notably preoperative sepsis (27.8% versus 4.8%, P = 0.01), and higher American Society of Anesthesiologists [III-IV] classification (83.3% versus 58.8%, P = 0.004). Mean operative time was comparable (open, 173.6 versus MIS, 206.1 min). In the univariate analysis, open approach was associated with increased postoperative length of stay (13.1 versus 7.2 d, P = 0.002). However, after adjusting for confounders, there was no significant difference. CONCLUSIONS There has been a steady increase in the adoption of laparoscopy in urgent and emergent colectomy for pediatric UC. Short-term outcomes between approaches appear comparable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarise frequency, type, and heterogeneity of patient-reported outcomes measures [PROMs] in papers reporting on outcomes after ileal pouch anal anastomosis [IPAA]. BACKGROUND Prevalence of ulcerative colitis [UC] has risen in Western countries, and one in three patients requires surgery. IPAA is a frequently performed procedure for UC, and a lack of standardisation is manifest in reporting outcomes for inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] despite the clear need for inclusion of PROMs as primary outcomes in IBD trials. METHODS Scopus, Pubmed, and Web of Science databases were searched from January 2010 to January 2023 for studies investigating outcomes in IPAA surgery. The primary outcome was the proportion of studies reporting outcomes for IPAA surgery for UC, which included PROMs. RESULTS The search identified a total of 8028 studies which, after de-duplication and exclusion, were reduced to 79 articles assessing outcomes after IPAA surgery. In all 44 [55.7%] reported PROMs, with 23 including validated questionnaires and 21 papers using authors' questions, 22 different PROMs were identified, with bowel function as the most investigated item. The majority of studies [67/79, 85%] were retrospective, only 14/79 [18%] were prospective papers and only two were [2.5%] randomised, controlled trials. CONCLUSIONS Only half of the papers reviewed used PROMs. The main reported item is bowel function and urogenital, social, and psychological functions are the most neglected. There is lack of standardisation for use of PROMs in IPAA. Complexity of UC and of outcomes after IPAA demands a change in clinical practice and follow-up, given how crucial PROMs are, compared with their non-routine use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inflammatory bowel disease colitis-associated dysplasia is managed with either enhanced surveillance and endoscopic resection or prophylactic surgery. The rate of progression to cancer after a dysplasia diagnosis remains uncertain in many cases and patients have high thresholds for accepting proctocolectomy. Individualised discussion of management options is encouraged to take place between patients and their multidisciplinary teams for best outcomes. We aimed to develop a toolkit to support a structured, multidisciplinary and shared decision-making approach to discussions about dysplasia management options between clinicians and their patients. METHODS Evidence from systematic literature reviews, mixed-methods studies conducted with key stakeholders, and decision-making expert recommendations were consolidated to draft consensus statements by the DECIDE steering group. These were then subjected to an international, multidisciplinary modified electronic Delphi process until an a priori threshold of 80% agreement was achieved to establish consensus for each statement. RESULTS In all, 31 members [15 gastroenterologists, 14 colorectal surgeons and two nurse specialists] from nine countries formed the Delphi panel. We present the 18 consensus statements generated after two iterative rounds of anonymous voting. CONCLUSIONS By consolidating evidence for best practice using literature review and key stakeholder and decision-making expert consultation, we have developed international consensus recommendations to support health care professionals counselling patients on the management of high cancer risk colitis-associated dysplasia. The final toolkit includes clinician and patient decision aids to facilitate shared decision-making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with ulcerative colitis may require colectomy for severe disease unresponsive or refractory to pharmacological therapy. Managing ulcerative colitis is complicated because there are many factors at play, including patient optimization and treatment, as the guidance varies on the ideal perioperative use of corticosteroids, immunomodulators, biologics, and small molecule agents. OBJECTIVE A systematic literature review was performed to describe the current status of perioperative management of ulcerative colitis. DATA SOURCES PubMed and Cochrane databases were used. STUDY SELECTION Studies published between January 2000 and January 2022, in any language, were included. Articles regarding pediatric or endoscopic management were excluded. INTERVENTIONS Perioperative management of ulcerative colitis was included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Successful management, including reducing surgical complication rates, was measured. RESULTS A total of 121 studies were included in this review, including 23 meta-analyses or systematic reviews, 25 reviews, and 51 cohort studies. LIMITATIONS Qualitative review including all study types. The varied nature of study types precludes quantitative comparison. CONCLUSION Indications for colectomy in ulcerative colitis include severe disease unresponsive to medical treatment and colitis-associated neoplasia. Urgent colectomy has a higher mortality rate than elective colectomy. Corticosteroids are associated with postsurgical infectious complications and should be stopped or weaned before surgery. Biologics are not associated with adverse postoperative effects and do not necessarily need to be stopped preoperatively. Additionally, the clinician must assess individuals' comorbidities, nutrition status, and risk of venous thromboembolism. Nutritional imbalance should be corrected, ideally at the preoperative period. Postoperatively, corticosteroids can be tapered on the basis of the length of preoperative corticosteroid use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dose-intensified rescue therapy with infliximab for hospitalized patients with ulcerative colitis has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, there is ongoing debate about both the efficacy of these regimens to reduce the rate of colectomy and the associated risks of increased infliximab exposure. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the colectomy and postoperative complication rates in hospitalized patients with severe ulcerative colitis receiving standard infliximab induction therapy (3 doses of 5 mg/kg at weeks 0, 2, and 6) and dose-intensified regimens including a higher weight-based dosing or more rapid interval. DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS This study was conducted at an academic tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS A total of 145 adult patients received inpatient rescue infliximab therapy for the treatment of ulcerative colitis between 2008 and 2020. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was colectomy rate within 3 months of rescue therapy. Secondary outcomes include mid-term colectomy rates, as well as perioperative complications in patients receiving colectomy within 3 months of rescue infliximab initiation. RESULTS The proportion of dose-intensified regimens increased over time. Unadjusted 3-month colectomy rates were 14% in patients who received standard rescue infliximab dosing, 16% in patients given a single dose-escalated dose, and 24% in patients given multiple inpatient dose-escalated doses. These rates were not statistically significantly different. Of the patients requiring colectomy within 3 months of infliximab rescue, those who received multiple inpatient doses of dose-escalated therapy had a higher percentage of colectomy during the initial hospitalization but a lower rate of perioperative complications. LIMITATIONS This study was limited by the use of retrospective data and the limited power to account for the heterogeneity of disease. CONCLUSIONS No significant difference was found in colectomy rates between patients receiving standard or dose-intensified regimens. However, dose-intensified regimens, including multiple inpatient doses given to patients with more severe disease, were not associated with a greater risk of perioperative complications.

LA TERAPIA DE RESCATE CON DOSIS INTENSIFICADA DE INFLIXIMAB EN COLITIS ULCEROSA GRAVE NO REDUCE LAS TASAS DE COLECTOMA A CORTO PLAZO NI AUMENTA LAS COMPLICACIONES POSOPERATORIAS ANTECEDENTES:La terapia de rescate de dosis intensificada con infliximab para pacientes hospitalizados con colitis ulcerosa se ha vuelto cada vez más popular en los últimos años. Sin embargo, existe un debate en curso sobre la eficacia de estos regímenes para reducir la tasa de colectomía y los riesgos asociados a una mayor exposición al infliximab.OBJETIVO:El propósito de este estudio fue comparar las tasas de colectomía y complicaciones posoperatorias en pacientes hospitalizados con colitis ulcerosa grave que recibieron terapia estándar de inducción de infliximab (3 dosis de 5 mg/kg en las semanas 0, 2, 6) y regímenes de dosis intensificada que incluyen una dosificación más alta basada en el peso o intervalo más rápido.DISEÑO:Fue un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo.ENTORNO CLÍNICO:Este estudio se realizó en un hospital académico de tercer nivel.PACIENTES:Un total de 145 pacientes adultos que recibieron terapia de rescate con infliximab para el tratamiento de la colitis ulcerosa entre 2008 y 2020.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE VALORACIÓN:El resultado principal fue la tasa de colectomía dentro de los 3 meses posteriores a la terapia de rescate. Los resultados secundarios incluyen tasas de colectomía a mediano plazo, así como las complicaciones perioperatorias en pacientes que reciben colectomía dentro de los 3 meses posteriores al inicio de infliximab de rescate.RESULTADOS:La proporción de regímenes de dosis intensificada aumentó con el tiempo. Las tasas de colectomía de 3 meses no ajustadas fueron del 14% en los pacientes que recibieron dosis estándar de infliximab de rescate, del 16% en los pacientes que recibieron una dosis única escalonada y del 24% en los pacientes que recibieron múltiples dosis hospitalarias escalonadas. Estas tasas no fueron estadísticamente significativas. De los pacientes que requirieron colectomía dentro de los 3 meses posteriores al rescate de infliximab, aquellos que recibieron terapia de múltiples dosis hospitalarias escalonadas tuvieron un mayor porcentaje de colectomía durante la hospitalización inicial pero una menor tasa de complicaciones perioperatorias.LIMITACIONES:Datos retrospectivos y poder limitado para explicar la heterogeneidad de la enfermedad.CONCLUSIONES:No se encontraron diferencias significativas en las tasas de colectomía entre los pacientes que recibieron regímenes estándar o de dosis intensificada. Sin embargo, los regímenes de dosis intensificadas, incluidas múltiples dosis hospitalarias administradas a pacientes con enfermedad más grave, no se asociaron con un mayor riesgo de complicaciones perioperatorias.

Abstract
Crohn's disease in the small bowel could present itself as an inflammatory stricture, a fibrotic stricture as penetrating disease or a combination of both. It is pertinent to differentiate the disease process as well as its extent to effectively manage the disease. Currently, a combination of medical and surgical therapies forms part of the treatment plan while the debate of which therapy is better continues. In managing the strictures, identification of the disease process through imaging plays a pivotal role as inflammatory strictures respond to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and biological agents, while fibrotic strictures require endoscopic or surgical intervention. Recent evidence suggests a larger role for surgical excision, particularly in ileocolic disease, while achieving a balance between disease clearance and bowel preservation. Several adaptations to the surgical technique, such as wide mesenteric excision, side to side or Kono-S anastomosis, and long-term metronidazole therapy, are being undertaken even though their absolute benefit is yet to be determined. Penetrating disease requires a broader multidisciplinary approach with a particular focus on nutrition, skincare, and intestinal failure management. The current guidance directs toward early surgical intervention for penetrating disease when feasible. Accurate preoperative imaging, medical management of active diseases, and surgical decision-making based on experience and evidence play a key role in success.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative complication rates in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) receiving preoperative biologics have been analyzed without considering the surgical context. Emergency surgery may be associated with an increased risk of infectious complications, compared to elective operations. AIMS To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the relationship between preoperative biologic therapy and postoperative outcomes in Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), focusing on elective surgery. METHODS Electronic databases were searched up to February 12, 2020, for studies of patients with IBD undergoing elective abdominal surgery receiving biologic therapy within 3 months before surgery compared to no therapy, or another biologic therapy. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using GRADE. The primary outcomes were the rate of infections and total complications within 30 days. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS Thirty-three studies were included. Preoperative treatment with anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy in patients with CD undergoing elective surgery was associated with increased odds of infection (OR 2.05; 95% CI 1.40-3.01), but not total complications (OR 1.03; 95% CI 0.71-1.51). In elective surgery for UC, preoperative anti-TNF therapy was not associated with infectious (OR 1.03; 95% CI 0.34-3.07) or total complications (OR 0.67; 95% CI 0.29-1.58). Limited data indicate that emergency surgery did not significantly affect the rate of complications. CONCLUSIONS Anti-TNF therapy prior to elective surgery may increase the odds of postoperative infection in CD, although the certainty of evidence is very low. More evidence is needed, particularly for newer biologics.

Abstract
The management of hospitalized patients with acute, severe ulcerative colitis involves close coordination among a multidisciplinary team. For patients not improving on intravenous corticosteroids, surgical consultation should be sought. The remaining hospital course requires frequent communications between the gastroenterologist managing the medical aspects of care, and the colorectal surgeon involved in planning for potential surgery, to optimize patient outcomes. This comanagement includes joint decision-making around the timing of surgery, minimizing medications associated with postoperative morbidity, addressing nutritional and psychosocial aspects of the patient's condition, and planning for a coordinated postoperative course. In this review, we highlight these aspects of care and the need for coordination and communication between gastroenterologists and surgeons in the management of acute severe colitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of preoperative vedolizumab (VDZ) therapy on postoperative complications in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients is still controversial. This meta-analysis aims to review postoperative complications of IBD patients who preoperatively received VDZ. METHODS A meta-analysis of the available literature was performed. Studies of IBD patients who received VDZ and non-VDZ therapy (including anti-TNF-α agents, non-biological therapy, other biological agents, ustekinumab, and placebo) before surgery were included. Primary outcomes included overall complications, infectious complications, and non-infectious complications. RESULTS Twelve studies with 1925 IBD patients were enrolled, among which 709 patients received VDZ treatment. The results show that, compared with non-VDZ treatment, there is no significant difference in the incidence of overall complications (OR = 1.25, p = 0.43) for adult IBD patients treated with VDZ preoperatively, the incidence of infectious complications (OR = 0.49, p = 0.001) decreases, but the risks of all surgical site infection (SSI) (Crohn's disease (CD): OR = 2.97, p < 0.001), superficial surgical site infection (sSSI) (OR = 2.24, p = 0.02), and ileus (OR = 2.16, p < 0.001) increase. The risk of mucocutaneous separation (MCS) (OR = 4.69, p = 0.03) with VDZ is also higher than non-VDZ. Two studies involved pediatric patients and showed no difference in ileus (OR = 0.55, p = 0.55). CONCLUSIONS Overall, compared with non-VDZ treatment, preoperative use of VDZ is relatively safer in adult IBD patients, which does not increase the risk of overall postoperative complications and reduces the occurrence of infectious complications. But, it increases the risk of all SSI and sSSI in infectious complications and the incidence of ileus and MCS in non-infectious complications. Due to lack of sufficient data, the safety of VDZ in pediatric patients is uncertain and requires further study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Acute pouchitis is the most common non-surgical complication after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC). We used validated case-finding definitions for pouchitis to search administrative claims data and determine the incidence of pouchitis in the first 2 years after IPAA. METHODS We identified all patients who underwent proctocolectomy with IPAA for UC in the IQVIA Legacy PharMetrics Adjudicated Claims Database, from January 1, 2007 through June 1, 2016. The primary outcome was the development of pouchitis within 2 years after IPAA. Secondary outcomes included isolated acute vs recurrent pouchitis, immunosuppressive therapy, further surgery, and admission to the hospital. RESULTS Among 594 patients, the cumulative incidence of pouchitis within 2 years of IPAA was 48% (95% CI, 44%-52%). The cumulative incidence of isolated acute pouchitis was 29% (95% CI, 26%-33%). Compared to patients with isolated acute pouchitis, patients who received a diagnosis of recurrent pouchitis (cumulative incidence, 19%: 95% CI, 16%-22%) demonstrated increased outpatient visits, emergency department visits, and inpatient admissions (all P < .001). Patients who developed pouchitis were more likely to have a history of primary sclerosing cholangitis (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.94; 95% CI, 1.05-14.8) and anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy prior to colectomy (aOR 1.63; 95% CI, 1.09-2.45). Among patients with pouchitis, the cumulative frequency of new immunosuppressive therapy was 40% (95% CI, 35%-46%) and the cumulative incidence of pouch excision was 1.0% (95% CI, 0.4%-3.0%). The cumulative incidence of a new diagnosis of Crohn's disease after IPAA for UC was 9.0% (95% CI, 7.2%-11%). CONCLUSIONS In a geographically diverse population, 48% of patients with UC developed pouchitis within the first 2 years after IPAA. Patients with pouchitis had greater use of healthcare resources, indicating a significant burden of disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The preoperative use of anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (anti-TNF) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients undergoing surgery has been controversial due to concern for increased risks of postoperative complications. We aimed to determine the effect of preoperative anti-TNF therapy on postoperative complications in IBD patients undergoing abdominal surgery. METHODS A literature search of Google Scholar, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and CINAHL was performed through October 2019. Studies reporting postoperative complication rates of Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and IBD-unspecified patients with preoperative anti-TNF treatment undergoing abdominal surgery compared to controls without preoperative anti-TNF treatment were included. The main outcomes measured were overall, infectious, and noninfectious postoperative complications. RESULTS Forty-one studies totaling 20 274 patients were included. There was a significant increase in overall complications in all patients treated with anti-TNF vs. controls [odds ratio (OR) = 1.13, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.25, P = 0.03, I2 = 6%] with an absolute risk increase (ARI) of 5.5% and a number needed to harm (NNH) of 18. There was also a significant increase in infectious complications in CD patients (OR = 1.44; 95% CI 1.02-2.03, P = 0.04, I2 = 49%, ARI = 5.5%, NNH = 20) only. Contrastingly, there was a significant increase in noninfectious complications in all patients (OR = 1.44, 95% CI 1.13-1.85, P = 0.003, I2 = 8%, ARI = 6.4%, NNH = 16) and UC patients (OR = 1.57, 95% CI 1.15-2.14, P = 0.005, I2 = 25%, ARI = 8.5%, NNH = 12) only. CONCLUSION Preoperative use of anti-TNF agents in IBD patients undergoing abdominal surgery is associated with increases in overall postoperative complications in all patients, infectious postoperative complications in CD patients, and noninfectious postoperative complications in UC patients.

Exploring the Relationship between Biologics and Postoperative Surgical Morbidity in Ulcerative Colitis: A Review. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10040710.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the paradigm shift related to the overspread use of biological agents in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), several questions emerged from the surgical perspective. Whether the use of biologicals would be associated with higher rates of postoperative complications in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients still remains controversial. AIMS We aimed to analyze the literature, searching for studies that correlated postoperative complications and preoperative exposure to biologics in UC patients, and synthesize these data qualitatively in order to check the possible impact of biologics on postoperative surgical morbidity in this population. METHODS Included studies were identified by electronic search in the PUBMED database according to the PRISMA (Preferred Items of Reports for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) guidelines. The quality and bias assessments were performed by MINORS (methodological index for non-randomized studies) criteria for non-randomized studies. RESULTS 608 studies were initially identified, 22 of which were selected for qualitative evaluation. From those, 19 studies (17 retrospective and two prospective) included preoperative anti-TNF. Seven described an increased risk of postoperative complications, and 12 showed no significant increase postoperative morbidity. Only three studies included surgical UC patients with previous use of vedolizumab, two retrospective and one prospective, all with no significant correlation between the drug and an increase in postoperative complication rates. CONCLUSIONS Despite conflicting results, most studies have not shown increased complication rates after abdominal surgical procedures in patients with UC with preoperative exposure to biologics. Further prospective studies are needed to better establish the impact of preoperative biologics and surgical complications in UC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Withholding TNF inhibitors (TNFI) before surgery has been recommended due to concern for post-operative infection. We examined the risks of post-operative infections and mortality in patients with RA in relation to the pre-operative timing of infliximab infusion. METHODS In this population-based retrospective cohort study, we used US Medicare claims data from 2007 to 2015 to identify patients with RA who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic or vascular surgery, or bowel resection, and who were treated with infliximab in the 90 days prior to surgery. We examined associations between the timing of infusion and infections and mortality in the 30 days after surgery. We adjusted for the predicted probability of post-operative infection or death, demographic characteristics, use of MTX, post-operative blood transfusion and hospital volume. RESULTS We studied 712 patients with CABG, 244 patients with vascular surgery and 862 patients with bowel resections. Post-operative pneumonia occurred in 7.4-11.9%, urinary tract infection in 9.0-15.2%, surgical site infection in 3.2-18.9%, sepsis in 4.2-9.6% and death in 3.5-7.0% among surgery cohorts. There was no association between the time from last infliximab dose to surgery and the risk of post-operative infection or mortality in any surgical cohort. No subgroups were identified that had an increased risk of infection with more proximate use of infliximab. CONCLUSION Among elderly patients with RA, risks of infection and mortality after major surgery were not related to the pre-operative timing of infliximab infusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Existing studies on the effects of biological medications on surgical complications among patients with ulcerative colitis have mixed results. Because biologicals may hinder response to infections and wound healing, preoperative exposure may increase postoperative complications. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations between biological exposure within 6 months preceding colectomy or proctocolectomy and postoperative complications among patients with ulcerative colitis. DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study with multivariate regression analysis after coarsened exact matching. SETTINGS A large commercial insurance claims database (2003-2016) was used. PATIENTS A total of 1794 patients with ulcerative colitis underwent total abdominal colectomy with end ileostomy, total proctocolectomy with end ileostomy, or total proctocolectomy with IPAA. Twenty-two percent were exposed to biologicals in the 6 months preceding surgery. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES Healthcare use (length of stay, unplanned reoperation/procedure, emergency department visit, or readmission) and complications (infectious, hernia or wound disruption, thromboembolic, or cardiopulmonary) within 30 postoperative days were measured. RESULTS Exposure to biological medications was associated with shorter surgical hospitalization (7 vs 8 d; p <0.001) but otherwise was not associated with differences in healthcare use or postoperative complications. PATIENTS who underwent total proctocolectomy with IPAA had higher odds of infectious complications compared with those who underwent total abdominal colectomy with end ileostomy (adjusted OR = 2.2 (95% CI, 1.5-3.0); p < 0.001) but had lower odds of cardiopulmonary complications (adjusted OR = 0.4 (95% CI, 0.3-0.6); p < 0.001). LIMITATIONS Analysis of private insurance database claims data may not represent uninsured or government-insured patients and may be limited by coding accuracy. Matched cohorts differed in age and Charlson Comorbidity Index, which could be influential even after multivariate adjustments. CONCLUSIONS Biological exposure among patients with ulcerative colitis is not associated with higher odds of postoperative complications or healthcare resource use. These data, in combination with clinical judgment and patient preferences, may aid in complex decision-making regarding operative timing, operation type, and perioperative medication management.

Los pacientes que se sometieron a proctocolectomía total con anastomosis anal y bolsa ileal, tuvieron mayores probabilidades de complicaciones infecciosas, en comparación con aquellos que se sometieron a colectomía abdominal total con ileostomía final (aOR 2.2, IC 95% [1.5-3.0], p <0.001) pero tuvieron menores probabilidades de complicaciones cardiopulmonares (aOR 0.4, IC 95% [0.3-0.6], p <0.001).El análisis de los datos de reclamaciones, de la base de datos de los seguros privados, puede no representar a pacientes no asegurados o asegurados por el gobierno, y puede estar limitado por la precisión de la codificación. Las cohortes emparejadas diferían en la edad y el índice de comorbilidad de Charlson, lo que podría influir incluso después de ajustes multivariados.La exposición biológica entre los pacientes con colitis ulcerativa, no se asocia con mayores probabilidades de complicaciones postoperatorias, o a la utilización de recursos sanitarios. Estos datos, en combinación con el juicio clínico y las preferencias del paciente, pueden ayudar en la toma de decisiones complejas con respecto al momento quirúrgico, el tipo de operación y el manejo de la medicación perioperatoria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medications used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have significantly improved patient outcomes and delayed time to surgery. However, some of these therapies are recognized to increase the general risk of infection and have an unclear impact on postoperative infection risk. OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of perioperative IBD medications on the risk of postoperative infections within 30 days of surgery. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane IBD Group's Specialized Register (29 October 2019), MEDLINE (January 1966 to October 2019), Embase (January 1985 to October 2019), the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform from inception up to October 2019, and reference lists of articles. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomized controlled trials, quasi-randomized controlled trials, non-randomized controlled trials, prospective cohort studies, retrospective cohort studies, case-control studies and cross-sectional studies comparing participants treated with an IBD medication preoperatively or within 30 days postoperatively to those who were not taking that medication (either another active medication, placebo, or no treatment). We included published study reports and abstracts. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently screened titles and abstracts and extracted data. The primary outcome was postoperative infection within 30 days of surgery. Secondary outcomes included incisional infections and wound dehiscence, intra-abdominal infectious complications and extra-abdominal infections. Three review authors assessed risks of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. We contacted authors for additional information when data were missing. For the primary and secondary outcomes, we calculated odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) using the generic inverse variance method. When applicable, we analyzed adjusted and unadjusted data separately. We evaluated the certainty of the evidence using GRADE. MAIN RESULTS We included 68 observational cohort studies (total number of participants unknown because some studies did not report the number of participants). Of these, 48 studies reported including participants with Crohn's disease, 36 reported including participants with ulcerative colitis and five reported including participants with indeterminate colitis. All 42 studies that reported urgency of surgery included elective surgeries, with 31 (74%) of those also including emergency surgeries. Twenty-four studies had low risk of bias while the rest had very high risk. Based on pooling of adjusted data, we calculated ORs for postoperative total infection rates in participants who received corticosteroids (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.38 to 2.09; low-certainty evidence), immunomodulators (OR 1.29, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.76; low-certainty evidence), anti-TNF agents (OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.20 to 2.13; very low-certainty evidence) and anti-integrin agents (OR 1.04, 95% CI 0.79 to 1.36; low-certainty evidence). We pooled unadjusted data to assess postoperative total infection rates for the use of aminosalicylates (5-ASA) (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.51 to 1.14; very low-certainty evidence). One secondary outcome examined was wound-related complications in participants using: corticosteroids (OR 1.41, 95% CI 0.72 to 2.74; very low-certainty evidence), immunomodulators (OR 1.35, 95% CI 0.96 to 1.89; very low-certainty evidence), anti-TNF agents (OR 1.18, 95% CI 0.83 to 1.68; very low-certainty evidence) and anti-integrin agents (OR 1.64, 95% CI 0.77 to 3.50; very low-certainty evidence) compared to controls. Another secondary outcome examined the odds of postoperative intra-abdominal infections in participants using: corticosteroids (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.28 to 1.84; very low-certainty evidence), 5-ASA (OR 0.77, 95% CI 0.45 to 1.33; very low-certainty evidence), immunomodulators (OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.66 to 1.12; very low-certainty evidence), anti-TNF agents (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.82; very low-certainty evidence) and anti-integrin agents (OR 0.40, 95% CI 0.14 to 1.20; very low-certainty evidence) compared to controls. Lastly we checked the odds for extra-abdominal infections in participants using: corticosteroids (OR 1.23, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.55; very low-certainty evidence), immunomodulators (OR 1.17, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.71; very low-certainty evidence), anti-TNF agents (OR 1.34, 95% CI 0.96 to 1.87; very low-certainty evidence) and anti-integrin agents (OR 1.15, 95% CI 0.43 to 3.08; very low-certainty evidence) compared to controls. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The evidence for corticosteroids, 5-ASA, immunomodulators, anti-TNF medications and anti-integrin medications was of low or very low certainty. The impact of these medications on postoperative infectious complications is uncertain and we can draw no firm conclusions about their safety in the perioperative period. Decisions on preoperative IBD medications should be tailored to each person's unique circumstances. Future studies should focus on controlling for potential confounding factors to generate higher-quality evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE Restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) is performed for patients with refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). This operation is performed in 2 or 3 stages and involves forming a diverting loop ileostomy thought to protect patients from complications related to anastomotic leak. However, some advocate for a modified 2-stage approach, consisting of subtotal colectomy followed by completion proctectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis without diverting ileostomy. We present a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing postoperative complication rates between modified 2-stage and traditional RPC with ileal pouch anal anastomosis. METHODS Records were sourced from PubMed/Embase databases. Studies comparing postoperative complications following RPC for ulcerative colitis (UC) were selected according to PRISMA guidelines comparing modified 2-stage (exposure), classic 2-stage, and 3-stage approaches (comparators). The primary outcome measure was safety as measured by postoperative complication rates. We employed random effects meta-analysis. RESULTS We included ten observational studies including 1727 patients (38% modified 2-stage). Among pediatric patients, modified 2-stage approaches had higher rates of anastomotic leak than 3-stage approaches (p = 0.03). Among adult cohorts with lower preoperative biologic use rates, modified 2-stage approaches had lower leak rates than classic 2-stage approaches (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The modified 2-stage approach may be safe for adult patients who otherwise require a 3-stage approach while reducing costs and length of stay. Pediatric patients may benefit from lower leak rates when receiving 3-stage compared with modified 2-stage approaches, especially when on biologics. The modified 2-stage approach may be safer than the classic 2-stage approach for adult patients with lower biologic exposure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ileocecal region is most commonly involved in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). AREAS COVERED In the management of ileocecal CD, this review discusses the underlying clinical issues with perioperative management and surgical intervention. EXPERT OPINION Despite advances in medical treatments, surgery is required in a proportion of patients. Preoperative optimization including weaning of corticosteroids, initiation of enteral feeds, venous thromboembolism prophylaxis and smoking cessation may lead to improved postoperative outcomes. Several surgical approaches regarding anastomotic technique and range of mesentery division are now attempted to reduce the incidence of postoperative recurrence. Disease recurrence is common after surgery for CD. Early endoscopic assessment and subsequent treatment adjustment are optimal strategies for the prevention of recurrence after ileocolonic resection.

Abstract
Since the approval in 2005 of anti-TNF drugs for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, concerns have been raised about the potential detrimental effect of these agents on postoperative infectious complications related to pouch surgery. Data on this topic are controversial and mostly derived from retrospective underpowered cohort studies largely affected by relevant bias. Three meta-analyses have been published with contradictory results. Moreover, the correlation between serum levels of infliximab at the time of surgery and the occurrence of septic postoperative complication is far to be proven and remains an answered research question. The construction of an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) as first surgical step in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) refractory to medical treatment seems to be associated with an increased risk of septic complications. Population-based data from the United States show a shift towards stage surgery for patients with refractory UC as a consequence of the widespread use of biological agents and the increased tendency to consider surgery as ultimate resort (step-up approach). In this setting, the classic 3-stage procedure (ileoanal pouch and diversion ileostomy after initial total colectomy) together with the modified 2-stage approach (ileoanal pouch without diversion ileostomy after initial total colectomy) are both effective options. Whether or not a diversion ileostomy could prevent pouch complications at the time of the pouch construction during the second stage of surgery is still a matter of debate. Emerging data seem to claim for increased risk of small bowel obstructions related to the presence of a stoma without proven effect on the prevention of anastomotic leak.

Therap Adv Gastroenterol 2020; 13:1756284820937089. [PMID: 33281933 PMCID: PMC7685679 DOI: 10.1177/1756284820937089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2020] [Accepted: 05/31/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Biologic therapy has emerged as an effective modality amongst the medical treatment options available for ulcerative colitis (UC). However, its impact on post-operative care in patients with UC is still debatable. This review evaluates the risk of post-operative complications following biologic treatment in patients with UC. METHODS A systematic search of the relevant databases was conducted with the aim of identifying studies that compared the post-operative complication rates of UC patients who were either exposed or not exposed to a biologic therapy prior to their surgery. Outcomes of interest included both infection-related complications and overall surgical morbidity. Pooled odds-ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using Review Manager 5.3. RESULTS In all, 20 studies, reviewing a total of 12,494 patients with UC, were included in the meta-analysis. Of these, 2254 patients were exposed to a biologic therapy prior to surgery. The pooled ORs for infection-related complications (n = 8067) and overall complications (n = 11,869) were 0.98 (95% CI 0.66-1.45) and 1.14 (95% CI 1.04-1.28), respectively, which suggested that there was no significant association between the use of pre-operative biologic therapy and post-operative complications. Interestingly, the interval between the last dose of biologic therapy and surgery did not influence the risk of having a post-operative infection. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that pre-operative biologic therapy does not increase the overall risk of having post-operative infection-related or other complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Improved treatment approaches for ulcerative colitis (UC), including novel medications, might reduce the need for colectomy. We performed a retrospective cohort study of adult patients (age 18-64) with UC in the United States to examine time trends for colectomy and biologic use from 2007 to 2016. METHODS We estimated quarterly rates for colectomy and biologic use using the IQVIA Legacy PharMetrics Adjudicated Claims Database. We used interrupted time series methods with segmented regression to assess time trends with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for biologic use and colectomy before and after the emergence of newly available biologic therapies in 2014. RESULTS Among 93,930 patients with UC, 2275 (2.4%) underwent colectomy from 2007 to 2016. Biologic use rates increased significantly from 2007 to 2016, from 131 per 1000 person-years in 2007 (95% CI, 121 to 140) to 589 per 1000 person-years in 2016 (95% CI, 575 to 604; P < 0.001). Colectomy rates decreased significantly between 2007 and 2016, from 7.8 per 1000 person-years (95% CI, 7.4 to 8.2) to 4.2 per 1000 person-years in 2016 (95% CI, 3.2 to 5.1; P < 0.001). An interruption in 2014 was associated with a positive trend deflection for biologic use (+72 treatments per 1000 person-years per year (95% CI, 61 to 83) and a negative trend deflection for colectomy (-0.76 per 1000 person-years per year; 95% CI, -1.47 to -0.05). CONCLUSIONS Among commercially insured patients in the United States from 2007 to 2016, biologic use rates increased, colectomy rates decreased, and both trends were impacted by the interruption in 2014. These findings suggest that new biologic therapies may have contributed to decreased colectomy rates.

Abstract
Although the number of available therapies for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (CD) continues to expand, a significant portion of patients with inflammatory bowel disease will require surgical intervention. Surgery remains an integral part of the treatment algorithm for patients with ulcerative colitis and CD, and thus multidisciplinary approaches to the perioperative and postoperative management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease are critical to improving outcomes during these periods. New mechanisms of biologic therapies are emerging and new treatment strategies focused on earlier and potentially more aggressive use of immunosuppressive therapies are advocated in the current treatment era. In this review, we outline multidisciplinary strategies for the preoperative management of immunosuppressive therapies, including a discussion of the most recent evidence regarding the safety of biologic therapy in the preoperative period. We also discuss the postoperative medical management of patients undergoing intestinal resection for CD, with a particular focus on risk stratification and appropriate therapy selection in the immediate postoperative setting. Finally, we review potential postoperative complications after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis and their management.

Abstract
The Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery (SICCR) promoted the project reported here, which consists of a Position Statement of Italian colorectal surgeons to address the surgical aspects of ulcerative colitis management. Members of the society were invited to express their opinions on several items proposed by the writing committee, based on evidence available in the literature. The results are presented, focusing on relevant points. The present paper is not an alternative to available guidelines; rather, it offers a snapshot of the attitudes of SICCR surgeons about the surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis. The committee was able to identify some points of major disagreement and suggested strategies to improve the quality of available data and acceptance of guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with ulcerative colitis are often treated with multiple immunomodulative agents to achieve remission. In refractory disease, the next option is frequently proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. No consensus exists as to whether immunomodulatory therapy at the time of ileal pouch surgery leads to any increase in postoperative complications. Our aim was to assess, in ulcerative colitis patients with restorative proctocolectomy, the effect of preoperative anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy and corticosteroids on postoperative complications and pouch failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective medical record review of 445 patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in Helsinki University Hospital between January 2005 and June 2016. RESULTS Anti-tumor necrosis factor agents were not associated with postoperative complications. Only high-dose corticosteroids (prednisolone ⩾20 mg or equivalent) were associated with higher incidence of anastomotic leak (12.6% vs 2.5%, P = 0.002) and wound dehiscence (4.2% vs 0%, P = 0.019), but pouch failure rate was no higher (2.1% vs 0%, P = 0.141) than in patients without corticosteroid treatment. A lower dosage of corticosteroids had no effect on early postoperative complications, but pouch failure rate was increased (4.4% vs 0%, P = 0.015). CONCLUSION Corticosteroids, but not anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy, were associated with postoperative complications. Preoperative use of corticosteroids may increase pouch failure rate, but the risk is still minor in high-volume centers performing ileal pouch surgery.

Abstract
This review outlines current topics on the surgical treatment of benign colorectal diseases, with a focus on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and diverticulitis. Treatment options for IBD and diverticulitis have evolved in the last few years as a result of medical advances in technology and new clinical trials. Therefore, treatment options and strategies need to be updated to provide optimal care for patients. The purpose of this review is to elucidate recent global trends and update the surgical treatment strategy for IBD and diverticulitis based on literature published in the past 2 years. Prevalence of IBD, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, has increased over the last few decades. During this period, many new medical therapies were introduced for the treatment of IBD, including biological therapy, immunomodulators, and leukocyte apheresis therapy. As a result, new surgical strategies for IBD are required. In order to improve surgical outcomes in IBD patients, the influence of preoperative treatment on postoperative complications needs to be considered. The incidence of diverticulitis is also increasing with lifestyle changes and increasing numbers of older people. For diverticulitis with perforation and generalized peritonitis, surgery is the gold standard. Elective surgery after conservative treatment of diverticulitis is also an option because of high recurrence rates. With an increase in diverticulitis, systematic strategies are essential for an appropriate approach to diverticulitis, taking into account various factors, including the patient's background.

Abstract
AbstractBackgroundThere is widespread concern that treatment with biologic agents may be associated with suboptimal postoperative outcome after surgery for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).AimWe aimed to search and analyze the literature regarding the potential association of biologic treatment on adverse postoperative outcome in patients with IBD. We used the subject as a case in point for surgical research. The aim was not to conduct a new systematic review.MethodThis is an updated narrative review written in a collaborative method by authors invited through Twitter via the following hashtags (#OpenSourceResearch and #SoMe4Surgery). The manuscript was presented as slides on Twitter to allow discussion of each section of the paper sequentially. A Google document was created, which was shared across social media, and comments and edits were verified by the primary author to ensure accuracy and consistency.ResultsForty-one collaborators responded to the invitation, and a total of 106 studies were identified that investigated the potential association of preoperative biological treatment on postoperative outcome in patients with IBD. Most of these studies were retrospective observational cohorts: 3 were prospective, 4 experimental, and 3 population-based studies. These studies were previously analyzed in 10 systematic/narrative reviews and 14 meta-analyses. Type of biologic agents, dose, drug concentration, antidrug antibodies, interval between last dose, and types of surgery varied widely among the studies. Adjustment for confounders and bias control ranged from good to very poor. Only 10 studies reported postoperative outcome according to Clavien–Dindo classification.ConclusionAlthough a large number of studies investigated the potential effect of biological treatment on postoperative outcomes, many reported divergent results. There is a need for randomized controlled trials. Future studies should focus on the avoiding the weakness of prior studies we identified. Seeking collaborators and sharing information via Twitter was integral to widening the contributors/authors and peer review for this article and was an effective method of collaboration.

Abstract
Increasing uptake of biologic therapy has contributed to declining surgical rates for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, a significant number of patients on biologic therapy will go on to require surgery. The literature is conflicted with regard to the preoperative management of biologic therapy before urgent or elective IBD surgery. This article reviews the available data on postoperative complications following preoperative treatment with anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy, anti-integrin therapy, and anti-interleukin therapy.

Abstract
Every year 16 million operations are performed in Germany. Many patients have an autoimmune disorder, for example rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis or chronic inflammatory bowel disease, which requires treatment. Immunosuppressants are widely applied. Physicians must make a risk-adapted decision whether the immunosuppressant medication can be continued perioperatively or if certain drugs must be paused and if so, with what risks. The handling of immunosuppressants during the perioperative period is very relevant as many patients, for example with rheumatoid arthritis are in need of a hip or knee replacement or patients with inflammatory bowel disease need an operation due to the chronic illness. The interruption of an immunosuppressant therapy should be discussed in an interdisciplinary board according to the underlying disease, because the continuation of immunosuppressants perioperatively can lead to an increased rate of complications, especially wound healing disorders. If a patient is on a glucocorticoid therapy the following must be considered: during the perioperative period the body has an increased demand for glucocorticoids due to the stress reaction. If glucocorticoids are administered in a dosage of more than 7.5 mg/day equivalent of prednisolone this stress reaction is inhibited. Thus, in these cases a perioperative substitution with hydrocortisone is recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although laparoscopy is associated with a reduction in adhesions, no data are available about the risk factors for small bowel obstruction [SBO] after laparoscopic ileal pouch-anal anastomosis [IPAA]. Our aims here were to identify the risk factors for SBO after laparoscopic IPAA for inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. METHODS All consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic IPAA for IBD in four European expert centres were included and divided into Groups A [SBO during follow-up] and B [no SBO]. RESULTS From 2005 to 2015, SBO occurred in 41/521 patients [Group A; 8%]. Two-stage IPAA was more frequently complicated by SBO than 3- and modified 2-stage IPAA [12% vs 7% and 4%, p = 0.04]. After multivariate analysis, postoperative morbidity (odds ratio [OR] = 3, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.5-7, p = 0.002), stoma-related complications [OR = 3, 95% CI = 1-6, p = 0.03] and long-term incisional hernia [OR = 6, 95% CI = 2-18, p = 0.003] were predictive factors for SBO, while subtotal colectomy as first surgery was an independent protective factor [OR = 0.4, 95% CI = 0.2-0.8, p = 0.002]. In the subgroup of patients receiving restorative proctocolectomy as first operation, stoma-related or other surgical complications and long-term incisional hernia were predictive of SBO. In the patient subgroup of subtotal colectomy as first operation, postoperative morbidity and long-term incisional hernia were predictive of SBO, whereas ulcerative colitis and a laparoscopic approach during the second surgical stage were protective factors. CONCLUSIONS We found that SBO occurred in less than 10% of patients after laparoscopic IPAA. The study also suggested that modified 2-stage IPAA could potentially be safer than procedures with temporary ileostomy [2- and 3-stage IPAA] in terms of SBO occurrence.

Abstract
The MarketScan databases are a family of administrative claims databases that contain data on inpatient and outpatient claims, outpatient prescription claims, clinical utilization records, and healthcare expenditures. The three main databases available for use are each composed of a convenience sample for one of the following patient populations: (1) patients with employer-based health insurance from contributing employers, (2) Medicare beneficiaries who possess supplemental insurance paid by their employers, and (3) patients with Medicaid in one of eleven participating states. Eleven supplemental databases are available, which are utilized to overcome the limited clinical data available in the core MarketScan databases. There are several limitations to this database, primarily related to the fact that individuals or their family members within two of the core databases mandatorily possess some form of employer-based health insurance, which prevents the dataset from being nationally representative. Nonetheless, this database provides detailed and rigorously maintained claims data to identify healthcare utilization patterns among this cohort of patients.

Abstract
Background The primary treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) is conservative, and substantial therapeutic progress has been made in the past few decades. Meanwhile, biologicals have become a mainstay in the treatment for steroid-refractory UC. Despite further development of drug therapy and an increased time span to operation, a significant proportion of patients with UC require surgical intervention. Surgical intervention needs to be carried out in medically refractory cases, imminent or malignant transformation, or complications. This article discusses the impact of modern drug therapy on surgery for UC. Methods A selective literature search of PubMed was conducted, taking into account current studies, reviews, meta-analyses, and guidelines. Selected articles were then reviewed in detail and recommendations were drafted based on data and conclusions of the articles. Results In recent years, modern drug therapy has changed the timing, approach, and outcomes of surgery for UC. Most of the studies showed a decrease in surgery rates over time while the rate of emergency colectomies remains unchanged. So far, no convincing surgery-sparing effect of newer medications has been established, and it remains debatable if surgery rates have decreased because of improved management for UC in general or due to the introduction of biologicals. The intensified conservative therapy with increasing use of biologics has been accompanied by a trend towards performing a three-step procedure in the last decade. There is a subset of patients with complex refractory disease who most likely benefit from elective surgery as an alternative to prolonged conservative therapies after failure of first-line treatment. The majority of patients after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis can avoid hospitalizations and colitis-related medications with their associated potential adverse effects. In addition, the procedure substantially reduces UC-related symptoms and the risk for dysplasia or cancer. There is a long-term pouch success rate of >90% after 10 and 20 years of follow-up. Conclusion Conservative medical therapy in the treatment of UC will continue to develop and the number of approved therapeutics will grow. Surgery should not be considered as the negative endpoint of treatment modalities but as a good alternative to a prolonged conservative therapy for some patients. In conclusion, a close cooperation between the various disciplines in the pre- and postoperative management is essential in order to optimize the timing and outcome of patients with UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) patients requiring colectomy often have a staged ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA). There are no prospective data comparing timing of pouch creation. We aimed to compare 30-day adverse event rates for pouch creation at the time of colectomy (PTC) with delayed pouch creation (DPC). METHODS Using prospectively collected data from 2011-2015 through the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, we conducted a cohort study including subjects aged ≥18 years with a postoperative diagnosis of UC. We assessed 30-day postoperative rates of unplanned readmissions, reoperations, and major and minor adverse events (AEs), comparing the stage of the surgery where the pouch creation took place. Using a modified Poisson regression model, we estimated risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusting for age, sex, race, body mass index, smoking status, diabetes, albumin, and comorbidities. RESULTS Of 2390 IPAA procedures, 1571 were PTC and 819 were DPC. In the PTC group, 51% were on chronic immunosuppression preoperatively, compared with 15% in the DPC group (P < 0.01). After controlling for confounders, patients who had DPC were significantly less likely to have unplanned reoperations (RR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.24-0.75), major AEs (RR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.52-0.99), and minor AEs (RR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.32-0.73) than PTC. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing delayed pouch creation were at lower risk for unplanned reoperations and major and minor adverse events compared with patients undergoing pouch creation at the time of colectomy. 10.1093/ibd/izy082_video1izy082.video15776112442001.

Risk of post-operative surgical site infections after vedolizumab vs anti-tumour necrosis factor therapy: a propensity score matching analysis in inflammatory bowel disease. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2018; 48:340-346.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative vedolizumab (VDZ) and anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNFi) therapies are implicated in causing post-operative complications in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). AIM To compare the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) between VDZ- and TNFi-treated IBD patients in propensity-matched cohorts. METHODS The Optum Research Database was used to identify IBD patients who received VDZ or TNFi within 30 days prior to abdominal surgery between January 2015 and December 2016. The date of IBD-related abdominal surgery was defined as the index date. SSIs were determined by ICD-9/10 and CPT codes related to superficial wound infections or deep organ space infections after surgery. Propensity score 1:1 matching established comparable cohorts based on VDZ or TNFi exposure before surgery based on evidence-based risk modifiers. RESULTS The propensity-matched sample included 186 patients who received pre-operative biologic therapy (VDZ, n = 94; TNFi, n = 92). VDZ and TNFi cohorts were similar based on age, gender, IBD type, concomitant immunomodulator exposure, chronic opioid or corticosteroid therapy, Charlson Comorbidity Index and malnutrition. VDZ patients were more likely to undergo an open bowel resection with ostomy. After propensity score matching, there was no significant difference in post-operative SSIs (TNFi 12.0% vs VDZ 14.9%, P = 0.56). Multivariable analysis indicated that malnutrition was the sole risk factor for developing SSI (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.11-8.71) regardless of the type of biologic exposure. CONCLUSION In the largest, risk-adjusted cohort analysis to date, perioperative exposure to VDZ therapy was not associated with a significantly higher risk of developing an SSI compared to TNFi therapy.

Abstract
Prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease has dramatically increased in Asian countries in the last three decades. In this period, many new medical therapies were introduced for the treatment of IBD, such as immunosuppressants, anti-tumor necrosis factor agents, leukocyte apheresis, anti-integrin antibody, and so on, which have contributed to induce remission and to reduce complications in IBD. As for surgical techniques for Crohn's disease, a stapled functional end-to-end anastomosis and conventional end-to-end anastomosis have similar perianastomotic recurrence rate and reoperation rate. Prospective randomized controlled studies which compare Kono-S anastomosis and stapled side-to-side anastomosis are ongoing. Variant two-stage ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) and transanal IPAA are new concepts for surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis. Various endoscopic procedures, such as balloon dilation for stenosis or stricture, endoscopic fistulotomy, injection of filling agents, and clipping for fistulas or perforations will be new options in the treatment of Crohn's disease. Adverse effects of preoperative treatments on postoperative complications should also be taken into account to improve surgical outcomes in IBD patients.
