    Patients with regional enteritis (Crohn's disease) needing reoperation often have an earlier disease onset and more nonoperative hospitalizations. Identifying these patients can improve counseling and management strategies for recurrent disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Outcomes
    • Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    Background:

    • Regional enteritis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, frequently necessitates surgical intervention.
    • Recurrence of disease after initial surgery is a significant concern for patients with regional enteritis.
    • Predicting the need for reoperation is crucial for patient counseling and resource allocation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify clinical factors associated with the need for subsequent major operations in patients initially treated for regional enteritis.
    • To compare characteristics of patients requiring single versus multiple surgical procedures for regional enteritis.
    • To inform strategies for improved patient counseling regarding long-term outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 25 patients undergoing major operations for regional enteritis between 1969 and 1981.

  • Comparison of clinical data between patients requiring one operation versus those needing reoperation.
  • Analysis of factors including age at onset, nonoperative hospital admissions, and characteristics of primary resection.

    • Main Results:

    • Twelve of 25 patients required subsequent major procedures for recurrent regional enteritis.
    • The reoperated group (12 patients) had an average age at onset of 27.4 years, versus 40 years for the singly operated group.
    • Reoperated patients averaged 3.5 nonoperative hospital admissions, compared to 1.8 for the singly operated group.

    Conclusions:

    • Earlier age of onset and a higher number of nonoperative hospital admissions appear to be associated with the need for reoperation in regional enteritis.
    • The extent and type of primary resection may have less predictive value for reoperation compared to disease onset and nonoperative admissions.
    • Identifying patients at higher risk for reoperation can enhance patient counseling and potentially guide future treatment approaches.
