Abstract
Complications of Crohn's disease reach far beyond postsurgical leak, infection, and enterocutaneous fistula. Malnutrition, intestinal failure, and recurrent disease all will require ongoing attentions. The management of these patients may further be complicated by the need for chronic immunosuppression. The underlying principles continue to include optimization of nutritional status, and preservation of bowel length when possible. However, there have been several recent advances in both the medical and surgical management of the disease. Understanding the contribution of the mesentery to inflammation, new surgical techniques such as the Kono-S anastomosis and extended mesenteric resection is decreasing the need for repeated resections.

Abstract
Postoperative anastomotic recurrence of Crohn's disease is challenging and can lead to symptom recurrence and further surgery. The mesenteric pole of the intestine is the initial site of macroscopic anastomotic recurrence, and the mesentery may play an important role in recurrence after surgical resection. Therefore, "mesenteric-based surgery" has gained increasing attention by clinicians. However, the role of mesentery in the postoperative recurrence remains controversial. This review will examine mesenteric changes in Crohn's disease, proposed roles for mesentery in disease progression, and the potential for mesenteric-based surgery in the surgical management of Crohn disease.

Abstract
Crohn's disease is a complex condition that confers a significant risk of requiring multiple surgeries. Questions that surgeons must frequently answer include: which patients benefit from diversion? Does monoclonal antibody therapy increase post-operative complications? And, are there surgical techniques that can prevent the recurrence of Crohn's disease? This review examines current data to answer these questions.

Abstract
Pragmatic clinical research is 1 of the 5 focus areas of the Challenges in IBD Research 2024, a multidisciplinary effort by scientists, clinicians, patients, and funders to identify priorities for patient-centric research. This summary provides a comprehensive overview of current gaps in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) clinical research and actionable approaches to address them. This review is focused on identifying research that is needed to achieve the best outcomes for patients in clinical practice. Research gaps include understanding the needs of understudied patient groups and addressing barriers to care so all patients receive optimal care, validating and using biomarkers to enable early diagnosis and result in better outcomes for adults and children with IBD, and determining the optimal sequencing of treatments (medical, surgical, adjunct) in children and adults. Inclusive pragmatic research is needed to address these gaps and lead to improvements in patient care and outcomes for all populations of patients with IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mesentery has recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of Crohn's disease (CD), and several techniques have been developed to target the mesentery to reduce its influence on recurrence. We aimed to describe short-term safety and feasibility after these approaches. METHODS This is a comparative, retrospective, single-center cohort study of consecutive CD patients undergoing primary or redo ileocolic resection from 2015 to 2022 with Kono-S anastomosis (KSA), extended mesenteric excision (EME) only, or both: mesenteric excision and exclusion (MEE). RESULTS 186 patients underwent KSA (n = 74), EME (n = 66), or MEE (n = 46). The groups had comparable baseline characteristics. The MEE group operative time was longer (median: 187 vs. KSA 170, EME 152 min, p < 0.01). Postoperatively, the groups had similar lengths of stay (median 4 days), readmissions (9.1 %), major postoperative complications (6.5 %), and anastomotic leaks (1.1 %). CONCLUSION Targeting the mesentery with novel surgical approaches for ileocolic Crohn's disease was safe and feasible for short-term follow-up.

Abstract
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract that might lead to progressive bowel damage and disability. The exact cause of Crohn's disease is unknown, but evidence points towards multifactorial events causing dysregulation of the innate immune system in genetically susceptible people. Commonly affecting the terminal ileum and proximal colon, Crohn's disease inflammation is often discontinuous and patchy, segmental, and transmural. Identification of characteristic findings on ileocolonoscopy and histology remains the diagnostic gold standard, but complete assessment involves laboratory abnormalities, including micronutrient deficiencies, cross-sectional imaging to identify transmural disease extent, severity and complications, and a psychosocial assessment. Treatment strategies for patients with Crohn's disease now go beyond achieving clinical remission to include deeper targets of endoscopic healing and consideration of adjunctive histological and transmural targets to alter disease progression potentially further. The use of early effective advanced therapies and development of therapies targeting alternative novel pathways with improved safety profiles have resulted in a new era of healing in Crohn's disease management. Future combination of advanced therapies with diet or other biological drugs and small molecules, together with improvements in tight control monitoring tools and predictive biomarkers might continue to improve outcomes for patients with Crohn's disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Despite advances in therapeutics, a significant portion of patients with Crohn's disease still require surgical management. In this article, we present updates to the natural history, prognostication and postoperative monitoring, and novel therapeutics in the prevention and treatment of postoperative Crohn's disease recurrence. RECENT FINDINGS Clinical risk factors have been associated with higher rates of postoperative recurrence (POR), and in recent studies demonstrate an increased cumulative risk with presence of additional risk factors. Additional novel clinical, histologic, and "-omic" risk factors for recurrence have recently been elucidated, including the role of the mesentery on recurrence and perioperative intraabdominal septic complications. High-risk patients benefit most from medical prophylaxis, including anti-TNF with or without immunomodulator therapy to prevent recurrence. New biologics such as vedolizumab and ustekinumab have emerging evidence in the use of prophylaxis, especially with recent REPREVIO trial data. Non-invasive disease monitoring, such as cross-sectional enterography, intestinal ultrasound, and fecal calprotectin, have been validated against ileocolonoscopy. Recent advances in the prediction, prevention, and monitoring algorithms of postoperative Crohn's disease may be leading to a reduction in postoperative recurrence. Ongoing trials will help determine optimal monitoring and management strategies for this at-risk population.

Abstract
Postoperative recurrence [POR] after an ileocolonic resection with ileocolonic anastomosis is frequently encountered in patients with Crohn's disease. The 8th Scientific Workshop of ECCO reviewed the available evidence on the pathophysiology and risk factors for POR. In this paper, we discuss published data on the role of the microbiome, the mesentery, the immune system and the genetic background. In addition to investigating the causative mechanisms of POR, identification of risk factors is essential to tailor preventive strategies. Potential clinical, surgical and histological risk factors are presented along with their limitations. Emphasis is placed on unanswered research questions, guiding prevention of POR based on individual patient profiles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the value of mesenteric creeping fat index (MCFI) defined by computed-tomography enterography (CTE) in patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) for predicting early postoperative recurrence. METHODS A total of 110 patients with CD who underwent CTE and I-stage intestinal resection surgery from December 2013 to December 2018 were enrolled. Two radiologists independently assessed CTE parameters, including MCFI, with scores ranging from 1 to 8; bowel-wall thickening, with a scale of 1 to 3; mural hyperenhancement, mural stratification, submucosal fat deposition, mesenteric fibrofatty proliferation, mesenteric hypervascularity, mesenteric fat stranding, with a scale of 0 to 2; abscess/fistula, enlarged mesenteric lymph node, abdominal and pelvic effusion, with a scale of 0 to 1. Imaging findings associated with early recurrence were assessed using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Within one year follow-up, early postoperative recurrence occurred in 56.4 % (62/110) patients with CD. In univariate analysis, MCFI, bowel-wall thickening, mesenteric hypervascularity, mesenteric fat stranding, abscess/fistula and mesenteric lymphadenopathy were associated with early postoperative recurrence. Among all variables, MCFI (score ≥ 4) contributes the optimal AUC (0.838 [0.758-0.919]), specificity (89.6 %), positive predictive value (90.7 %), accuracy (83.6 %), and risk ratio (OR = 32.42 [10.69-98.33], p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, only MCFI was an independent predictor of early postoperative recurrence (OR = 25.71 [7.65-86.35], p < 0.001). CONCLUSION CTE features are useful in predicting early postoperative recurrence in patients with CD, MCFI may be a valuable tool for clinical monitoring and follow-up.

Incisional hernia rates between intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis in minimally invasive ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2023; 408:251. [PMID: 37382678 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-023-02976-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE One-third of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) require multiple surgeries during their lifetime. So, reducing the incisional hernia rate is crucial. We aimed to define incisional hernia rates after minimally invasive ileocolic resection for CD, comparing intracorporeal anastomosis with Pfannenstiel incision (ICA-P) versus extracorporeal anastomosis with midline vertical incision (ECA-M). METHODS This retrospective cohort compares ICA-P versus ECA-M from a prospectively maintained database of consecutive minimally invasive ileocolic resections for CD performed between 2014 and 2021 in a referral center. RESULTS Of the 249 patients included: 59 were in the ICA-P group, 190 in the ECA-M group. Both groups were similar according to baseline and preoperative characteristics. Overall, 22 (8.8%) patients developed an imaging-proven incisional hernia: seven at the port-site and 15 at the extraction-site. All 15 extraction-site incisional hernias were midline vertical incisions [7.9%; p = 0.025], and 8 patients (53%) required surgical repair. Time-to-event analysis showed a 20% rate of extraction-site incisional hernia in the ECA-M group after 48 months (p = 0.037). The length of stay was lower in the intracorporeal anastomosis with Pfannenstiel incision group [ICA-P: 3.3 ± 2.5 vs. ECA-M: 4.1 ± 2.4 days; p = 0.02] with similar 30-day postoperative complication [11(18.6) vs. 59(31.1); p = 0.064] and readmission rates [7(11.9) vs. 18(9.5); p = 0.59]. CONCLUSION Patients in the ICA-P group did not encounter any incisional hernias while having shorter hospital length of stay and similar 30-day postoperative complications or readmission compared to ECA-M. Therefore, more consideration should be given to performing intracorporeal anastomosis with Pfannenstiel incision during Ileocolic resection in patients with CD to reduce hernia risk.

Abstract
Mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT) has gained substantial attention as an active player in Crohn's disease (CD), but its clinical significance is poorly understood and likely reflects, in part, difficulties assessing MAT noninvasively. Recent radiologic studies have identified candidate surrogate markers that may reflect inflammatory alterations of MAT in CD and have found that certain features including visceral adipose tissue may inform risk of complicated disease behavior, risk for surgery, and postoperative outcomes. Additionally, emerging surgical data have suggested MAT may even be a therapeutic target to mitigate postoperative recurrence of CD. However, the current studies have variable results, reduced sample sizes, and methodological limitations that preclude incorporating the radiologic and surgical findings into clinical practice. Nonetheless, the results are promising and potentially have important implications for the medical and surgical management of CD, which merits that additional studies are warranted. Thus, we have reviewed the available literature on the medical and surgical implications of MAT in CD to summarize our current understanding and identify gaps in knowledge to inform future investigations.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: One-third of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) require multiple surgeries during their lifetime. So, reducing the incisional hernia rate is crucial. We aimed to define incisional hernia rates after minimally invasive ileocolic resection for CD, comparing intracorporeal anastomosis with Pfannenstiel incision (ICA-P) versus extracorporeal anastomosis with midline vertical incision (ECA-M).
Methods: This retrospective cohort compares ICA-P versus ECA-M from a prospectively maintained database of consecutive minimally invasive ileocolic resections for CD performed between 2014 and 2021 in a referral center.
Results: Of the 249 patients included: 59 were in the ICA-P group, 190 in the ECA-M group. Both groups were similar according to baseline and preoperative characteristics. Overall, 22 (8.8%) patients developed an imaging-proven incisional hernia: seven at the port-site and 15 at the extraction-site. All 15 extraction-site incisional hernias were midline vertical incisions [7.9%; p=0.025], and 8 patients (53%) required surgical repair. Time-to-event analysis showed a 20% rate of extraction-site incisional hernia in the ECA-M group after 48 months (p =0.037). The length of stay was lower in the intracorporeal anastomosis with Pfannenstiel incision group [ICA-P: 3.3±2.5 vs. ECA-M: 4.1±2.4 days; p=0.02] with similar 30-day postoperative complication [11(18.6) vs. 59(31.1); p=0.064] and readmission rates [7(11.9) vs. 18(9.5); p=0.59].
Conclusion: Patients in the ICA-P group did not encounter any incisional hernias while having shorter hospital length of stay and similar 30-day postoperative complications or readmission compared to ECA-M. Therefore, more consideration should be given to performing intracorporeal anastomosis with Pfannenstiel incision during Ileocolic resection in patients with CD to reduce hernia risk.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease mainly affecting the gastrointestinal tract. With the increased availability of modalities in the last two decades, the treatment of CD has advanced remarkably. Although medical treatment is the mainstay of therapy, most patients require surgery during the course of their illness, especially those who experience complications. Nutritional optimization and ERAS implementation are crucial for patients with CD who require surgical intervention to reduce postoperative complications. The increased surgical risk was found to be associated with the use of corticosteroids, but the association of surgical risk with immunomodulators, biologic therapy, such as anti-TNF mediations, anti-integrin medications, and anti-IL 12/23 was low in certainty. Decisions about preoperative medication must be made on an individual case-dependent basis. Preoperative imaging studies can assist in the planning of appropriate surgical strategies and approaches. However, patients must be informed of any alterations to their treatment. In summary, the management of perioperative medications and surgery-related decision-making should be individualized and patient-centered based on a multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative recurrence [POR] of Crohn's disease following ileocolonic resection is common. The impact of immediate postoperative intra-abdominal septic complications [IASC] on endoscopic and surgical recurrence has not been elucidated. AIMS To evaluate if IASC is associated with an increased risk for endoscopic and surgical POR. METHODS This was a retrospective study of adult Crohn's disease patients undergoing ileocolonic resection with primary anastomosis between 2009 and 2020. IASC was defined as anastomotic leak or intra-abdominal abscess within 90 days of the date of surgery. Multivariable logistic and Cox proportional hazard modelling were performed to assess the impact of IASC on endoscopic POR [modified Rutgeerts' score ≥ i2b] at index postoperative ileocolonoscopy and long-term surgical recurrence. RESULTS In 535 Crohn's disease patients [median age 35 years, 22.1% active smokers, 35.7% one or more prior resection] had an ileocolonic resection with primary anastomosis. A minority of patients [N = 47; 8.8%] developed postoperative IASC. In total, 422 [78.9%] patients had one or more postoperative ileocolonoscopies, of whom 163 [38.6%] developed endoscopic POR. After adjusting for other risk factors for postoperative recurrence, postoperative IASC was associated with significantly greater odds (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.45 [1.23-4.97]; p = 0.01) and decreased time (adjusted hazards ratio [aHR]: 1.60 [1.04-2.45]; p = 0.03] to endoscopic POR. Furthermore, IASC was associated with increased risk (aOR: 2.3 [1.04-4.87] p = 0.03) and decreased survival-free time [aHR: 2.53 [1.31-4.87]; p = 0.006] for surgical recurrence. CONCLUSION IASC is associated with an increased risk for endoscopic and surgical POR of Crohn's disease. Preoperative optimization to prevent IASC, in addition to postoperative biological prophylaxis, may help reduce the risk for endoscopic and surgical POR.
