Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Optimal management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] after anti-tumour necrosis factor [TNF] discontinuation due to severe induced skin lesions is unclear. Our study aimed to describe dermatological and IBD evolution after anti-TNF discontinuation for this side effect. METHODS We conducted a multicentre retrospective study including consecutive IBD patients who discontinued anti-TNF due to severe induced skin lesions. Our objectives were to determine factors associated with dermatological remission [complete disappearance of skin lesions] and with IBD relapse in patients with inactive disease at inclusion, notably the impact of an early switch to another biological agent within 3 months of anti-TNF discontinuation. RESULTS Among the 181 patients [134 women, 160 Crohn's disease] included in the 13 participating centres, dermatological remission occurred in 110 [62%] patients with a median [interquartile range, IQR] interval of 8.0 [6.8-11.0] months. Scalp location was independently associated with less remission of skin lesions (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.64 [95% CI 0.43-0.94], p = 0.02) while early switch was independently associated with a higher probability of remission of skin lesions (HR = 1.64 [95% CI 1.1-2.5], p = 0.02). Among the 148 patients with inactive IBD at inclusion, disease relapse occurred in 75 [51%] patients with a median [IQR] interval of 26.0 [23.0-39.1] months. Survival rates without IBD relapse at 1 year were 85.8% [95% CI 77.5-94.9] in the early switch group and 59.3% [95% CI 48.9-71.9] in the other group [p < 0.01]. CONCLUSIONS Early switch to a new biological is associated with a higher probability of healing of anti-TNF-induced skin lesions and significantly reduces the risk of IBD relapse.

Abstract
AIM The medico-surgical strategy for the treatment of perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (CD) following surgical drainage remains challenging and debated. Our aims were to describe the failure rate of therapeutic interventions after drainage of the fistula tract and determine the factors associated with failure to optimize medico-surgical strategies. METHOD All consecutive patients with perianal fistulizing CD who underwent surgical drainage with at least a 12-week follow-up were included. Failure was defined as the occurrence of at least one of the following items: abscess recurrence, purulent discharge from the tract, visible external opening and further drainage procedure(s). RESULTS One hundred and sixty-nine patients were included. The median follow-up was 4.0 years. The cumulative failure rates were 20%, 30% and 36% at 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. The cumulative failure rates in patients who had sphincter-sparing surgeries or seton removal were significantly higher than in those who had a fistulotomy. Anterior fistula [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.52 (1.13-5.61), P = 0.024], supralevator extension [HR = 20.78 (3.38-127.80), P = 0.001] and the absence or discontinuation of immunosuppressants after anal drainage [HR = 3.74 (1.11-12.5), P = 0.032] were significantly associated with failure in the multivariate analysis model. CONCLUSION Combined strategies for perianal fistulizing CD lead to a failure rate of 36% at 5 years. Where advisable, fistulotomy may be preferred because it has a lower rate of recurrence. The benefits of immunosuppressants require a dedicated prospective randomized trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] is a promising tool to evaluate therapeutic efficacy in ileocolonic Crohn's disease [CD]. AIMS We aimed to assess the feasibility of early MRI evaluation (week 12 [W12]) to predict corticosteroid-free remission [CFREM] at W52 and prevent long-term bowel damage. METHODS All patients with active CD needing anti-tumour necrosis factor [anti-TNF] therapy were consecutively enrolled in this multicentre prospective study. MRI was performed before starting therapy, at W12 and W52. CFREM was defined as Crohn's Disease Activity Index < 150, C-reactive protein < 5 mg/L and faecal calprotectin < 250 µg/g, with no switch of anti-TNF agents, no bowel resection and no therapeutic intensification between W12 and W52. RESULTS Among 46 patients, 22 [47.8%] achieved CFREM at W52. Anti-TNF agents were able to heal almost all CD lesions as soon as W12 [p < 0.05]. Early transmural response defined as a 25% decrease of either Clermont score (odds ratio [OR] = 7.7 [1.7-34.0], p < 0.001) or Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (OR = 4.2 [1.3-13.3], p = 0.015) was predictive of CFREM at W52. Achieving at least two items on W12-MRI among ulceration healing, disappearance of enlarged lymph nodes or sclerolipomatosis, ΔADC [apparent diffusion coefficient] > +10% or ΔRCE [relative contrast enhancement] > -30% was associated with a likelihood of CFREM at W52 of 84.6% vs 37.5% in patients without transmural response [p < 0.001]. Early transmural response could prevent bowel damage progression over time using Clermont score (hazard ratio = 0.21 [0.0-0.9]; p = 0.037). CONCLUSION Evaluation of early transmural response by MRI is feasible and is a promising end point to monitor therapeutic efficacy in patients with CD.

Abstract
Background Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) affect psychological, family, social and professional dimensions of patients’ life, leading to disability which is essential to quantify as part of Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) newly included in the targets to reach in IBD patients. Up to now, the IBD-Disability Index (IBD-DI) was the only validated tool to assess disability, but it is not appropriate for use in clinical practice. The IBD Disk was developed, a shortened and self-administered tool, adapted from the IBD-DI, in order to give immediate representation of patient-reported disability. However, the IBD Disk has not been validated yet in clinical practice. The aims of the VALIDate study are to validate this tool in a large population of IBD patients and to compare it to the already validated IBD-DI. Methods The VALIDate study is an ongoing multicentric prospective cohort study launched in April 2018 in 3 French University Hospitals (Nantes, Rennes, Angers), with an objective to reach a sample of 400 patients over a period inclusion of 6 months. Each patient will fill in the two questionnaires IBD Disk and IBD-DI at baseline, then between 3 and 12 months later, during a follow-up visit. Clinical and socio-demographic data will also be collected. During these two consultations, gastroenterologists and patients will evaluate disease activity thanks to a semi-quantitative 4-grade scale, named respectively PGA (Physician Global Assessment) and PtGA (Patient Global Assessment). This cohort will allow to evaluate the validity of the IBD Disk with respect to the IBD-DI in order to generalize its use for clinical practice. Other psychometric criteria of the IBD Disk will also be analysed as its reliability or its discriminant capacity. Close attention will nonetheless be needed to minimize the number of lost to follow-up patients between baseline and follow-up. Discussion The VALIDate study is the study designed to validate the IBD Disk, a visual tool easily useable in daily practice to assess disability in IBD patients. The results of this trial should enable the diffusion of this tool. Trial registration The trial is registered in ClinicalTrials.Gov with registration number NCT03590639. First posted: July 18, 2018.

Abstract
AIM Data on the pathogenesis and symptoms of enterocele are limited. The objectives of this study were to determine the clinical phenotype of patients with enterocele, to highlight the main functional and/or anatomical associations and to improve the accuracy of the preoperative assessment of pelvic floor disorders. METHOD A total of 588 patients who were referred to a tertiary unit for an anorectal complaint completed a self-administered questionnaire and underwent physical examination, anorectal manometry and defaecography. Using defaecography, enterocele was defined as a radiological hernia of the small bowel into an enlarged rectovaginal space. One hundred and thirty-five patients with enterocele were age- and gender-matched with 270 patients without enterocele. Factors associated with enterocele were assessed using univariate and multivariate analysis models. RESULTS Patients with enterocele were less frequently obese than patients without enterocele (8/135 vs 36/270; P = 0.02) and more frequently had a past history of pelvic surgery (51/135 vs 75/270; P = 0.04). They complained more frequently of pelvic pain on bearing down (29/135 vs 24/270; P = 0.003), anal procidentia (37/135 vs 46/270; P = 0.01) and more frequently had irritable bowel syndrome (83/135 vs 131/270; P = 0.01) and severe constipation according to the Kess score (104/135 vs 182/270; P = 0.04). Anorectal function was comparable between the two groups. Patients with enterocele had more frequent rectoceles and overt rectal prolapses than patients without enterocele. CONCLUSIONS Enterocele should be investigated in patients with chronic pelvic pain, overt rectal prolapse and/or a past history of pelvic surgery.

Abstract
AIM To compare the rate of failure of radiofrequency thermocoagulation for anal fistula with that of rectal advancement flap in a case-matched study. METHOD Patients who underwent radiofrequency treatment were compared with age- and sex-matched patients with Crohn's disease (CD) who underwent a rectal flap procedure. Fistula features, general characteristics and the main clinical events were recorded in a prospective database. Failure was defined by at least one of following: abscess, purulent discharge, visible external opening or further drainage procedure. RESULTS A total of 62 patients [median age 45 (range 36.8-57.5) years; 22 women, 40 men; 22 with CD] were analysed. The failure rate of radiofrequency treatment was higher than that of rectal flap treatment (74.2% vs 32.2%; P = 0.004). The cumulative probabilities of failure of the radiofrequency treatment were 53.8% (38.8-68.3), 71.8% (55.3-84.0) and 87.4% (70.6-95.3) at 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively. Three patients in the radiofrequency group required drainage for an abscess and one had severe thermal ulceration. The Cox proportional hazards regression model (surgical procedure, obesity, CD) showed rectal flap treatment [3.48 (1.60-8.07); P = 0.001] and CD [2.60 (1.16-6.41); P = 0.02] to be the main independent predictors of healing. CONCLUSION Radiofrequency thermocoagulation is a less satisfactory sphincter-sparing treatment for the management of anal fistula than a rectal flap procedure.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Any gastroenterologist must be trained to properly diagnose anoperineal lesions in patients with Crohn's disease (APLOC). The aim of this study was to establish whether adding pictures would improve teaching effectiveness of the diagnosis of APLOC to French gastroenterology trainees. METHOD Trainees were asked to answer a first web-based survey consisting of evaluating 12 pictures of APLOC with a closed answer questionnaire. They were then randomized in 2 groups. Group A received an online teaching with typical pictures and APLOC definitions and group B definitions only. Trainees were asked again seven days later to answer a second survey with 12 other pictures of APLOC and 14 experts also answered this survey. Diagnostic scores were expressed in %. The primary endpoint was the comparison of the score of survey 2 between the two groups of trainees. Secondary endpoints were to compare results of survey 2 between trainees of both groups and experts, and assess diagnosis of each lesion. RESULTS Two hundred fourty eight trainees among 465 answered survey 1, and 195 survey 2. The diagnostic score was 71.9% for groups A and B and 74.6% for experts (differences NS). After training diagnosis of ulceration was 72% for group A and 72.9% for group B, fistulae 85.2% versus 85.8%, erythema 44.1% vs. 55.6%, anoperineal scars 67.5% vs. 65.6%, and abscess 100% (differences NS). CONCLUSION There was no difference between the two teaching methods. Further research should be performed aiming at improving teaching material and quotation baremes.

Abstract
AIM Rectal flap advancement is still a part of therapeutic management of anal fistulas. Data on the outcome of rectal flap advancement in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) is scarce. Our objective was to ascertain rates of failure of rectal flap advancement and to determine predictive factors for failure, with a special focus on CD METHOD: The patients' details, the characteristics of the fistula and the main clinical and therapeutic events were prospectively assessed among patients who underwent rectal flap advancement. All patients had a partial-thickness rectal flap advancement. Failure of primary rectal flap advancement was defined as the occurrence of at least one of the following: abscess, discharge, visible external opening, further drainage procedure. The rates of failure of rectal flap and the predictive factors of failure were assessed. RESULTS Eighty-seven patients (34 patients with CD) were included. The median (interquartile range) follow-up was 13.3 (3.8-38.1) months. The cumulative failure rates were 15.9% (10.3-23.6), 23.0% (16.0-31.8), 31.6% (22.9-41.8) and 41.3% (30.5-53.0) at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months respectively. These data were comparable in Crohn's patients. Those with a supralevator fistula [hazard ratio 2.53 (1.01-7.71), P = 0.0476] and patients who had fewer than two fistula drainages before rectal flap [hazard ratio 3.19 (1.40-8.23), P = 0.005] were associated with higher rectal flap failure rates. In CD patients, the absence of biological therapy at referral was predictive of failure. CONCLUSION Rectal flap advancement is a satisfactory option for the therapeutic management of anal fistula, including CD populations. Fistula drainage is needed before performing this surgical technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term outcome of ustekinumab in Crohn's disease (CD) has not been evaluated. AIM To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of ustekinumab and identify the predictive factors of ustekinumab failure-free persistence in a cohort of anti-TNF refractory CD patients. METHODS We performed a retrospective multicentre cohort study including all consecutive CD patients who began subcutaneous ustekinumab and presented a clinical response (defined as a significant improvement of CD-related clinical symptoms assessed by the patient's physician leading to continued ustekinumab) during the first year of treatment. Primary outcome was treatment failure defined as withdrawal of treatment due to loss of response, intolerance or need for surgery. RESULTS Eighty-eight of the 122 (72%) CD patients beginning ustekinumab from March 2011 to December 2014, responded to ustekinumab and were followed up until November 2016. Median time on ustekinumab was 26.6 (13.4-34.4) months. Forty-seven patients (54%) continued ustekinumab with a clinical response and 38 (43%) stopped treatment (32 for failure, five for remission and one for pregnancy). Endoscopic response was observed in 82% of patients with endoscopic evaluation and mucosal healing in 39%. Ustekinumab failure-free persistence rates were 78% at 12 months, 66% at 24 months and 55% at 36 months. No predictive factor of ustekinumab failure-free persistence was identified. One severe adverse event was observed (anal adenocarcinoma). CONCLUSION In this cohort of refractory CD patients receiving long-term ustekinumab therapy, more than 50% of patients continued ustekinumab treatment with no loss of response, intolerance or surgery and with a good safety profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of vedolizumab as a treatment for extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) is questionable due to its gut-specificity. AIM To assess effectiveness of vedolizumab for EIM in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in a large real-life experience cohort. METHODS Between June and December 2014, 173 patients with Crohn's disease and 121 with ulcerative colitis were treated with vedolizumab. Patients were followed until week 54. EIM activity was assessed at weeks 0, 6, 14, 22, 30 and 54 by using a 3-step scale: complete remission, partial response and no response. RESULTS At baseline, 49 (16.7%) patients had EIMs of which 47 had inflammatory arthralgia/arthritis, four had cutaneous lesions and two had both rheumatologic and skin EIM. At week 54, 21 (44.7%) patients had complete remission for inflammatory arthralgia/arthritis and three (75%) for cutaneous EIM. In multivariate analysis, complete remission of inflammatory arthralgia/arthritis was associated with clinical remission of IBD (OR = 1.89, IC95% [1.05-3.41], P = .03) and recent onset of inflammatory arthralgia/arthritis (OR = 1.99, IC95% [1.12-3.52], P = .02). During the follow-up period, 34 (13.8%) patients without any EIM at baseline, developed incident cases of inflammatory arthralgia/arthritis consisting mostly of peripheral arthralgia without evidence of arthritis and 14 (4.8%) incident cases of paradoxical skin manifestation. CONCLUSION Vedolizumab therapy is commonly associated with improvement in EIM. This was associated with quiescent IBD and recent EIM. However, paradoxical skin manifestation and inflammatory arthralgia/arthritis may occur upon vedolizumab therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We recently showed that vedolizumab is effective in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) with prior anti-TNF failure in a multicentre compassionate early-access programme before marketing authorisation was granted to vedolizumab. AIMS To assess effectiveness and safety of vedolizumab at week 54 in patients UC and CD. METHODS Between June and December 2014, 173 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and 121 with ulcerative colitis (UC) were treated with vedolizumab induction therapy. Among those 294 patients, 272 completed the induction period and were evaluated at the week 14 visit (161 patients with CD and 111 with UC). Disease activity was assessed using the Harvey-Bradshaw Index for CD and the partial Mayo Clinic score for UC. The primary outcome was steroid-free clinical remission at week 54. RESULTS At week 54, steroid-free clinical remission rates at week 54 were 27.2% and 40.5% in patients with CD and UC respectively. In addition, the sustained steroid-free clinical remission (from week 14 to week 54) rates were 8.1% and 19.0% respectively. No deaths were observed. Severe adverse events occurred in 17 (7.2%) patients, including six (2.5%) leading to vedolizumab discontinuation. CONCLUSION Vedolizumab is able to maintain steroid-free clinical remission in up to one-third of patients with UC and CD at week 54 with a reasonable safety profile. A significant number of patients experienced loss of response during the first year of treatment, particularly in patients with CD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is an emerging risk factor for fecal incontinence (FI). The aim of this study was to characterize pathophysiologic mechanisms of FI in obese patients compared with non-obese patients in a prospective case-matched study. METHODS The general characteristics and data of the anorectal manometry and endosonography of patients who were evaluated for FI at a single institution from 2005 to 2015 were prospectively assessed. Fecal incontinence was defined by a Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score (CCIS) >4. Obesity was defined by a body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 . Obese patients were case-matched with two age- and sex-matched non-obese patients. KEY RESULTS A total of 201 patients were included (67 obese matched with 134 non-obese). The CCIS, Knowles-Eccersley-Scott Symptom Constipation Score and quality of life score were comparable between obese and non-obese patients with FI. Factors significantly associated with obesity in FI patients were cholecystectomy (odds ratio [OR]=3.45 [1.19-10.32], P=.0230), irritable bowel syndrome - diarrhea (OR=2.94 [1.22-7.19], P=.0158), upper part of the anal canal resting pressure ≥22 mm Hg (OR=3.45 [1.45-8.76], P=.0045), maximum rectal tolerable volume ≥240 mL (OR=3.14 [1.34-7.54], P=.0082), and abdominal pressure ≥28 mm Hg (OR=2.75 [1.13-7.33], P=.0248) by multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Obese patients with FI had a comparable severity of FI to that of non-obese patients with FI. Regarding obesity in patients with FI, physicians should focus on stool consistency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One-third of patients with fecal incontinence (FI) do not have any anal dysfunction. The aim was to characterize patients with FI with normal anal function compared with patients with anal weakness. METHODS The general characteristics and data of anal manometry, endosonography, and defecography of patients who were evaluated for FI at a single institution from 2005 to 2015 were prospectively assessed. Fecal incontinence was defined by the Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score (CCIS) >4. Anal weakness was defined by one or more of the three following parameters: <25 mmHg at the upper part of the anal canal, <26 mmHg at the lower part of the anal canal, and <60 mmHg for the mean squeeze pressure. KEY RESULTS A total of 439 patients with FI were included (152 with normal anal function/287 with anal weakness). Severe constipation (Kess score ≥21) was predominant in patients with normal anal function (44/151 vs 50/284, respectively; p = 0.0054). Fecal incontinence with normal anal function was significantly associated with lower age (>63 years; odds ratio [OR] = 0.29), higher weight (>65 kg; OR = 1.69), fecal urgency (OR = 1.58), less severe FI score (CCIS score >10; OR = 0.52), higher abdominal pressure (>36 mmHg; OR = 2.15), and paradoxical puborectal contraction (OR = 2.07) in a multivariate analysis model. CONCLUSION & INFERENCES Fecal incontinence with normal anal function is a specific phenotype that involves distal constipation and may be an early stage of FI with anal weakness. Physicians should adapt their management to focus on the treatment of constipation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Anal fistula plug [AFP] is a bioabsorbable bioprosthesis used in ano-perineal fistula treatment. We aimed to assess efficacy and safety of AFP in fistulising ano-perineal Crohn's disease [FAP-CD]. METHODS In a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial we compared seton removal alone [control group] with AFP insertion [AFP group] in 106 Crohn's disease patients with non- or mildly active disease having at least one ano-perineal fistula tract drained for more than 1 month. Patients with abscess [collection ≥ 3mm on magnetic resonance imaging or recto-vaginal fistulas were excluded. Randomisation was stratified in simple or complex fistulas according to AGA classification. Primary end point was fistula closure at Week 12. RESULTS In all, 54 patients were randomised to AFP group [control group 52]. Median fistula duration was 23 [10-53] months. Median Crohn's Disease Activity Index at baseline was 81 [45-135]. Fistula closure at Week 12 was achieved in 31.5% patients in the AFP group and in 23.1 % in the control group (relative risk [RR] stratified on AGA classification: 1.31; 95% confidence interval: 0.59-4.02; p = 0.19). No interaction in treatment effect with complexity stratum was found; 33.3% of patients with complex fistula and 30.8% of patients with simple fistula closed the tracts after AFP, as compared with 15.4% and 25.6% in controls, respectively [RR of success = 2.17 in complex fistula vs RR = 1.20 in simple fistula; p = 0.45]. Concerning safety, at Week 12, 17 patients developed at least one adverse event in the AFP group vs 8 in the controls [p = 0.07]. CONCLUSION AFP is not more effective than seton removal alone to achieve FAP-CD closure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rectal disorders during ulcerative colitis (UC) drastically alter the quality of life and may result from an impairment of rectal perception and compliance. This study aims to assess anorectal disorders in patients with mild-to-moderate UC. METHODS Anal pressures and the rectal responses to phasic rectal isobaric distension in 10 patients with mild-to-moderate UC were prospectively compared with those in 10 healthy volunteers (HVs). KEY RESULTS The patients in each group were similar regarding age, gender, and delivery. In the resting state, the anal canal pressures were similar between the groups. Only the squeeze pressures of the lower anal canal were significantly lower in UC patients than in HVs. During phasic isobaric distension, rectal sensitivity was similar between the groups, whatever the step of distension. Isobaric rectal distension resulted in a significant decrease of the rectoanal inhibitory reflex and a decrease in rectal tone and a significant drop in rectal compliance in UC patients compared with HVs. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Patients showing mild-to-moderate UC experience rectal compliance and innervation disorders without a significant change in rectal sensitivity. The findings of this work suggest impairment not only of the properties of the rectal wall but also of intrinsic innervation. Repeated evaluation over time may be helpful for analyzing the reversibility of the process after healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Long-term benefits of combination therapy (combotherapy) with infliximab (IFX) and azathioprine (AZA) have been less studied in ulcerative colitis (UC) than in Crohn's disease. The aim of the present study was to determine UC disease activity in patients who received at least 6 months of combotherapy, and whether cotreatment for more than 6 months was useful in these patients. METHODS A retrospective multicenter study was conducted in seven French academic centers from January 2010 to September 2012, including all UC patients having received at least 6 months of combotherapy in prolonged remission off steroids. During the follow-up period, which was divided into trimesters, scheduled IFX was continued as maintenance and AZA could be withdrawn. Assessment of UC activity by trimester was based on the following events: disease relapse defined by clinical relapse requiring a change of treatment, IFX failure, and colectomy. RESULTS Eighty-two patients were included (mean age 38 years; male:female ratio 1:1) and followed up for a median of 22.3±14.0 months. Comparing 393 trimesters of combotherapy with 282 trimesters of IFX alone, fewer clinical relapses were observed with combotherapy (p = 0.049). Similar results were observed for IFX failure (p = 0.048). No difference was observed for colectomy. Duration of combotherapy longer than 9 months was inversely associated with clinical relapse (hazard ratio = 0.32 [95% confidence interval 0.15-0.70]). CONCLUSIONS UC patients treated with combotherapy should maintain IFX and AZA for at least 9 months. Further studies are required to determine the optimal duration of combotherapy before stopping AZA in this situation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The natural history of nonfistulising perianal Crohn's disease (PCD) remains unknown. AIM To assess the long-term outcome of anorectal strictures. METHODS All outcomes of PCD patients with anorectal stricture followed in a single unit from 2005 to 2013 were reviewed, as well as subsequent therapeutic management. Cumulative incidence of stricture healing (disappearance of the anal stricture) was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier method and factor associated with an unfavourable course (persistent stricture S2, persistent stoma or proctectomy) with nonparametric test. RESULTS A total of 102 patients (M/F: 37/65) were included. The duration of CD at diagnosis was 8.9 years. After a median follow-up period of 2.8 years, 52 of the 88 followed patients (59%) achieved anorectal stricture healing. Two patients (2%) developed anal adenocarcinoma. Female gender [HR 2.05 (1.1-4.03), P = 0.0221], disease duration of CD of less than 10 years [HR 1.94 (1.01-3.63), P = 0.0271], and anal fistula at stricture diagnosis [HR 2.36 (1.21-5.05), P = 0.0106) were significantly associated with anorectal stricture healing in a multivariate analysis model. Twenty-eight patients (32%) had an unfavourable course at the end of follow-up. Gender and introduction or optimisation of TNFα antagonist treatment decreased the risk of unfavourable course in multivariate analysis. Conversely, the Luminal B2 phenotype at CD diagnosis was the only factor associated with unfavourable course. CONCLUSIONS Anorectal stricture does not imply a nonreversible and complicated condition related to severe perianal Crohn's disease. However, both the diagnosis of cancer and sepsis drainage remain challenging in this situation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcutaneous electrical tibial nerve stimulation (TENS) is of growing interest for the treatment of fecal incontinence (FI), but its mechanism of action remains uninvestigated. We aimed to further assess the anorectal response to TENS in a dynamic model. METHODS We performed a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blinded crossover study in 19 patients suffering from FI to assess the effects of TENS on anorectal function. Anorectal physiology and perception were recorded through two sequences of rectal isobaric distension using an electronic barostat device to measure anal and rectal pressures, rectal volumes, and perception scores. KEY RESULTS Maximal rectal pressure and volume variation were affected by TENS, with higher mean maximal rectal pressure (5.33 and 4.06 mmHg in the active and sham TENS respectively, p < 0.0001) and lower volume variation (11.45 and 14.7 mL in the active and sham stimulation respectively, p < 0.05). Rectal compliance was not modified by active TENS. Pressure of the upper anal canal was significantly lower with raised isobaric distension in sequences assigned to active TENS. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Acute TENS modified anorectal physiology by strengthening the myogenic response to distension rather than increasing muscle relaxation and related rectal compliance in patients with FI.

Abstract
AIM Endoscopic resection is the primary treatment for colorectal adenoma, but in some cases surgery is necessary. The aim of this retrospective study was to define the prevalence and predictive factors for surgery in patients with advanced colorectal adenoma managed in a referral endoscopy centre. METHOD Consecutive patients diagnosed with advanced adenoma (Class 4 in the Vienna classification) during a colonoscopy from 2007 to 2009 in the endoscopy centre of the University Hospital of Rennes were included. Predictive factors of surgery were determined by univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS Two-hundred and twelve (135 male) patients with a mean age of 65.8 years were included. The reason for colonoscopy was for diagnosis in 63.2%, surveillance in 25.5% and screening in 11.3%. These referred patients amounted to 20.8% of all patients having colonoscopy. Surgery was performed in 13.7% of the 212 patients and in 16 (8.3%) of the 192 patients in whom endoscopic removal was attempted. In the subgroup of 192 patients, univariate analysis revealed that body mass index (P = 0.04), histology (P = 0.002), size (P = 0.03) and macroscopic appearance (P < 0.001) of the polyp were associated with surgery. Multivariate analysis revealed that the macroscopic appearance and histology only were significantly associated with surgery. CONCLUSION Surgery was needed in 13.7% of patients with an advanced adenoma, but in only 8.3% of the subgroup of 192 patients in whom endoscopic removal was attempted. Factors associated with surgery included macroscopic appearance and histology.

Abstract
AIM The study aimed to quantify incontinence before and after laparoscopic rectopexy in patients suffering from rectal prolapse. METHOD Eighty-five patients underwent laparoscopic rectopexy to treat rectal prolapse between 2003 and 2009. Symptomatic and functional data were collected prospectively before and after surgery by self-administered questionnaires including the Cleveland Clinic Fecal Incontinence Score (CCIS) and constipation, gastrointestinal quality of life and urinary incontinence questionnaires. Incontinence was considered to be present when the CCIS remained at ≥ 5 after surgery. RESULTS After a mean follow-up period of 36 months after surgery, 83% of the patients reported good to excellent results. Continence was improved in 58 (68%), with a significant decrease in the continence score (-3.4 ± 5.8, P = 0.001). However, 50 (58.9%) patients remained incontinent: 47 (55%) reported urge incontinence and 27 (32%) had passive leakage. Incontinence for liquid stool, incontinence for solid stool and the need for protection was seen in 43 (51%), 35 (41%) and 43 (51%) patients. Manometry, defaecography and ultrasonography were not associated with any improvement. In contrast, the patients' average age (60.2 ± 15.8 vs 46.9 ± 15.5 years; P = 0.003), symptom duration before surgery (58.1 ± 70.1 vs 29.5 ± 33.3 months; P = 0.011), preoperative urinary incontinence score (10.7 ± 10.8 vs 4.2 ± 5.7; P = 0.0131) and faecal incontinence score (12.9 ± 4.9 vs 7.1 ± 6; P < 0.0001) were significantly higher in patients suffering from postoperative incontinence. CONCLUSION Despite some continence improvement in two-thirds of patients who underwent surgery for rectal prolapse, the level of improvement remained low in more than half of the patients.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to assess patient dissatisfaction and functional symptoms following haemorrhoid surgery, aspects of which are seldom covered in other published series. METHOD A self-administered questionnaire was mailed to 359 consecutive patients (prospective database; 198 men, 161 women; median follow up, 59 [1-120] months) who underwent either Milligan-Morgan haemorrhoidectomy (n=205) or stapled haemorrhoidopexy (n=154). RESULTS The response rate was 72%; 2.4% of patients had no opinion, 13.6% were dissatisfied, 33.0% were satisfied, and 51.0% were very satisfied with the treatment. Dissatisfied patients were more likely to be women and more likely to have a long history of constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. The duration of surgery and the rates of pre- and postoperative complications did not differ between groups. Residual bleeding (49% vs 32%), prolapse (67% vs 31%) and pain (91% vs 55%) occurred more frequently in the dissatisfied group compared with the satisfied group (P<0.001). Incontinence (4 [0-16] vs 1 [0-15]; P=0.0003) and constipation (19 [1-34] vs 8 [0-31]; P<0.0001) scores were significantly higher in the dissatisfied group compared with satisfied patients. Anal pain was the predominant symptom associated with dissatisfaction in a logistic regression model. CONCLUSION Persistent pain remains the major long-term factor associated with dissatisfaction after surgery for haemorrhoids.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Rescue therapy with either cyclosporine (CYS) or infliximab (IFX) is an effective option in patients with intravenous steroid-refractory attacks of ulcerative colitis (UC). In patients who fail, colectomy is usually recommended, but a second-line rescue therapy with IFX or CYS is an alternative. The aims of this study were to investigate the efficacy and tolerance of IFX and CYS as a second-line rescue therapy in steroid-refractory UC or indeterminate colitis (IC) unsuccessfully treated with CYS or IFX. METHODS This was a retrospective survey of patients seen during the period 2000-2008 in the GETAID centers. Inclusion criteria included a delay of <1 month between CYS withdrawal (when used first) and IFX, or a delay of <2 months between IFX (when used first) and CYS, and a follow-up of at least 3 months after inclusion. Time-to-colectomy, clinical response, and occurrence of serious adverse events were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 86 patients (median age 34 years; 49 males; 71 UC and 15 IC) were successively treated with CYS and IFX. The median (± s.e.) follow-up time was 22.6 (7.0) months. During the study period, 49 patients failed to respond to the second-line rescue therapy and underwent a colectomy. The probability of colectomy-free survival (± s.e.) was 61.3 ± 5.3% at 3 months and 41.3 ± 5.6 % at 12 months. A case of fatal pulmonary embolism occurred at 1 day after surgery in a 45-year-old man. Also, nine infectious complications were observed during the second-line rescue therapy. CONCLUSIONS In patients with intravenous steroid-refractory UC and who fail to respond to CYS or IFX, a second-line rescue therapy may be effective in carefully selected patients, avoiding colectomy within 2 months in two-thirds of them. The risk/benefit ratio should still be considered individually.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Efficacy of infliximab in treating ulcerative proctitis remains unknown. AIM To evaluate the clinical, biological and endoscopic efficacy of infliximab therapy in refractory proctitis. METHODS The charts of 420 patients treated with infliximab for ulcerative colitis were reviewed. Thirteen patients were treated with infliximab for refractory ulcerative proctitis in six referral centres between 2005 and 2009. RESULTS Following infliximab therapy induction, 9/13 patients (69%) had a complete response (defined as absence of diarrhoea and blood), 2/13 (15%) had a partial response and 2/13 (15%) were primary nonresponders. The median follow-up was 17 months (range, 3-48). Among the 11 patients with clinical response after infliximab induction therapy, 9 (82%) patients maintained response at last follow-up. Disappearance of rectal disorders was observed in all nine patients who maintained clinical response at last follow-up. Following infliximab induction therapy, the mean CRP level fell from 12.8 mg/L to 4.7 mg/L. Endoscopic evaluation was performed before and after infliximab in seven patients, showing an improvement in mucosal lesions in four patients, persistent mild endoscopic activity in two patients and no improvement in one patient. One patient underwent proctocolectomy. CONCLUSION Infliximab therapy seems to be effective in inducing and maintaining a clinical response in refractory ulcerative proctitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Crohn's disease, anal ulcers and stricture can be disabling. AIM To evaluate long-term outcome of non-fistulizing perianal Crohn's disease under infliximab. METHODS The medical records of 99 patients with non-fistulizing perianal Crohn's disease at first infliximab infusion were reviewed. Complete responses (ulcer healing or stricture regression) after induction infliximab therapy and at the maximal follow-up were assessed. RESULTS Ninety-four patients (94.9%) had ulcers, 22 (22.2%) had stricture and 31 (31.3%) had draining perianal fistulas at first infliximab infusion. After infliximab induction therapy, 40/94 (42.5%) patients with ulcers, 4/22 (18.2%) with stricture and 10/31 (32.2%) with fistulas had a complete response. Eight patients were lost to follow-up. After a median follow-up of 175 weeks (range, 13-459), complete response rates for ulcers, stricture and fistulas were 72.3% (68/94), 54.5% (12/22) and 54.8% (20/31) respectively. Long-term response for cavitating ulcer was positively associated with concomitant immunosuppressant use (P = 0.017) and older age (P = 0.049). Among the 12 patients with complete regression of stricture, 6 patients also had anal dilatation. Complete response was associated with perianal pain relief and disappearance of soiling. Three patients with ulcers developed an anal abscess. CONCLUSIONS Infliximab therapy may be effective in inducing and maintaining response for ulcers.
