Short and long-term outcomes of surgery for inflammatory (uncomplicated) ileocecal Crohn's disease: Multicentric retrospective analysis of 211 patients. Dig Liver Dis 2024; 56:730-736.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical management for patients with inflammatory ileocecal Crohn's disease (CD) could be a reasonable alternative to second-line medical treatment. AIM To assess short and long-term outcomes of patients operated on for inflammatory, ileocecal Crohn's disease. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients intervened at four referral hospitals during 2012-2021 was performed. RESULTS 211 patients were included. 43% of patients underwent surgery more than 5 years after diagnosis, and 49% had been exposed to at least one biologic agent preoperatively. 89% were operated by laparoscopy, with 1.6% conversion rate. The median length of the resected bowel was 25 cm (7-92) and three patients (1.43%) received a stoma. Median follow-up was 36 (17-70) months. The endoscopic recurrence-free survival proportion at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 months was 56%, 52%, 45%, 38%, and 33%, respectively. The clinical recurrence-free survival proportion at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 months was 83%, 79%, 76%, 74%, and 74%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, previous biological treatment (HR=2.01; p = 0.001) was associated with a higher risk of overall recurrence. CONCLUSION Surgery in patients with primary inflammatory ileocecal CD is associated with good postoperative outcomes, low postoperative morbidity with reasonable recurrence rates.

Abstract
Despite the development and introduction of new pharmaceutical approaches for Crohn's disease, the treatment of these patients still remains a major clinical challenge due to the heterogeneity in the course, degree of inflammation and localization. Over the last decade surgery was mainly reserved for the treatment of complications during the long course of Crohn's disease; however, due to new evidence-based knowledge, primary surgical resection in patients suffering from isolated Crohn's disease of the terminal ileum represents an equally effective alternative to medicinal antibody-based treatment. Even if further randomized and controlled trials are necessary, the currently available follow-up studies show promising data regarding disease progression with a significant reduction in the need for immunosuppression, which is usually necessary in these patients primarily treated by medication. Therefore, in the interdisciplinary decision on treatment early/primary surgical treatment should be considered as an equally effective alternative for a suitable patient collective.
