Laparoscopic versus Open surgery for small bowel Crohn's disease

Ileocolic Resection for Crohn's Disease: A Minimally Invasive Approach Claims Its Place

“…23,24 Some studies have shown that the risk of intra-abdominal abscesses is equivalent between LIC and OIC in patients with Crohn's disease. 7,18,25 In this study, we found that LIC utilization is significantly associated with reduced odds of SSI development which is consistent with other published literature. 6,26,27 With respect to length of hospitalization in our study, the significant reduction in the length of stay in MIS group, logically follows the reduction in the complications, which concurs with other studies reported in a published review article.…”

Inflammatory bowel disease meta‐evidence and its challenges: is it time to restructure surgical research?

“…Twenty‐one of these were excluded (κ = 0.920, 95% CI 0.832–1.000). The 118 included papers covering 193 256 patients were allocated to one of three categories depending on their speciality focus: M (80 papers, 135 375 patients), S (28 papers, 36 521 patients) or MS (10 papers, 24 823 patients). The trial flow diagram representing the inclusion and exclusion process is shown in Fig.…”

Laparoscopic adhesiolysis: consensus conference guidelines

“…Parietal ultrasound whenever at least two‐ninths of the abdominal wall is free of adhesions is a predictor of success for LAL [38] (SIGN 3). Laparoscopic ileocaecal resection for Crohn’s obstructive disease is feasible [39] (SIGN 1+), even in emergency [40] (SIGN 4), but some authors consider it as a contraindication [41] (SIGN 4). Peritoneal carcinomatosis, which might be incidental after exploratory laparoscopy for SBO, is a contraindication to surgery [42] (SIGN 1+), with some rare exceptions [43,44] (SIGN 3–4).…”
