    Surgical management of Crohn's colitis shows colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis is preferred. While both total proctocolectomy and ileorectal anastomosis had no mortality, the latter had a higher recurrence rate.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology
    • Colorectal Surgery

    Background:

    • Diffuse granulomatous colitis, often referred to as Crohn's colitis, presents complex surgical challenges.
    • Optimal surgical strategies for Crohn's colitis are debated, impacting long-term patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate and compare the surgical outcomes of total proctocolectomy versus abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis in patients with Crohn's colitis.
    • To determine the recurrence rates associated with each surgical approach for Crohn's colitis.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 16 patients surgically treated for diffuse granulomatous colitis.
    • Comparison of outcomes between patients undergoing total proctocolectomy (n=9) and abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (n=7).

  • Literature review of surgical management of Crohn's colitis to contextualize findings.

    • Main Results:

    • No mortality or anastomotic leak was observed in either surgical group.
    • Disease recurrence occurred in 22% of patients after total proctocolectomy.
    • Disease recurrence was higher in patients with ileorectal anastomosis, occurring in 57% of cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis is the preferred surgical option for Crohn's colitis when anatomically feasible.
    • Despite a higher recurrence rate in this series, ileorectal anastomosis offers a viable alternative to proctocolectomy for selected patients.
    • Further research into optimizing ileorectal anastomosis techniques may reduce recurrence in Crohn's colitis management.
