Background:
We aimed to assess whether the risk of disease recurrence in Crohn's disease (CD) patients that undergone ileocolic resection (ICR) with temporary ileostomy and a later stoma reversal is different compared to patients that underwent a one-stage operation.
Methods:
A single-center retrospective review of all patients that underwent elective primary ICR for CD between 2010 and 2022 divided into: 2S-ICR group-patients who underwent two-stage ICR. 1S-ICR group-patients who underwent one-stage ICR.
Results:
The cohort included 191 patients (mean age 33.4, range 15-70), with 40 and 151 patients in the 2S-ICR and 1S-ICR groups, respectively. The 2S-ICR were more comorbid, with a lower mean BMI (18 vs. 21.3, P < 0.001), higher median ASA score (3 vs. 2, P = 0.036), higher percentage on pre-operative total parenteral nutrition (TPN) (62.5% vs. 24.5%, P < 0.001), and lower levels of pre-operative albumin (3.3 g/dL vs. 3.8 g/dL, P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the overall postoperative complication rate (47.5% vs. 47.7% respectively, P = 1), nor in the rate of severe complications (17.5% vs. 13.2%, P = 0.6), but, the 2S-ICR had a longer post-operative length-of-stay (14 vs. 6 days, P < 0.001) and higher rates of 30-day readmission (30% vs. 13.2%, P = 0.017). After an overall median follow-up of 63 months, the groups showed similar rates of endoscopic, clinical, and surgical recurrence.
Conclusions:
Two-stage ICR with a temporary ileostomy does not change long-term CD recurrence rates compared with one-stage ICR.

01:30Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
01:27Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
