This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the evolution of abdominal surgery in treatment of Crohn´s disease (CD) in the era of immunomodulatory drugs and biologicals. It concerns risk of abdominal surgery overall and sub-categories of abdominal surgery, risk of repeat surgery and factors that affect this risk, and risk of getting a stoma. Surgical recurrence is a major clinical problem as repeat procedures are more complex and expose the patients to a higher medical risk both in conjunction with surgery and afterwards. Updated information on abdominal surgery for CD will be of use when making decisions about medical vs surgical interventions. In a nationwide cohort of 21 273 patients with CD during the years 1990-2014, the cumulative incidence of abdominal surgery within five years of diagnosis decreased continuously down to 17.3% for patients diagnosed with CD during the last calendar period of study, 2009–2014. Ileocecal resection was the most common primary procedure. The incidence of colectomy was low in all calendar periods and continuously decreased. The incidence of proctectomy was very low even after decades with the disease, 3.0% for patients diagnosed 1990-1995 with a median follow-up of 21 years. Incidence of repeat abdominal surgery within five years of primary procedure decreased in the 90s down 16.0% in the 1996– 2000 period with a risk of ileocolic reresection of 4.4%. After 2000, despite introduction of biologicals in 1998, no further significant decrease in repeat surgery was observed. In a retrospective review of prospectively maintained databases at three university hospitals, the rate of surgical recurrence for 389 patients with CD who had been treated with a primary ileocecal resection between 2000-2012 was investigated. The patients were operated receiving either a temporary stoma (20%) or a primary anastomosis (80%) with a median follow-up time of 105 months. Patients selected to temporary stoma had a higher prevalence of baseline risk factors usually associated with an increased risk of recurrence such as penetrating disease behaviour. Despite this, there was no difference in long-term surgical recurrence between the one- and two-stage groups; 18% vs 16%. In a retrospective review of prospectively maintained databases at two university hospitals, the effect of smoking cessation on rate of surgical recurrence was assessed. 242 patients were included with a median follow-up of 112 months. Surgical recurrence rate for smokers vs quitters was 16/42 (38%) vs 3/31 (10%); p = 0.02; risk ratio = 3.9 despite a median time for smoking exposure after the primary procedure of three years. Among the non-smokers 28/169 (17%) had a surgical recurrence at last follow-up. 8 out of 11 smoking patients who needed a second resection went on to need a third resection. Of the patients who were free of surgical recurrence at follow-up, those who had quit smoking were significantly less likely to have been put on medical therapy compared with smokers with a risk ratio of 3.2. In an observational study of a nationwide cohort of 19 146 patients with incident CD 2002- 2013 and followed through 2017, the incidence and prevalence of stoma was investigated. The cumulative incidence of stoma formation within five years was 2.4% and remained constant from 2002 and onwards although cumulative ever-use of biologicals increased and time to start with treatment with biologicals decreased. 48% of all stomas were reversed. Ileostomies encompassed about two-thirds of all stomas and risk of stoma was higher among patients with elderly-onset CD and among patients with perianal manifestations of the disease. 28% of the patients who underwent surgery with formation of a stoma had perianal disease. 0.6% of all incident patients had a permanent stoma five years after diagnosis.

Chapters from general and colorectal surgeons detail common clinical techniques, minimally invasive surgical approach and management of perianal disease. In addition, surgical complications specific to Crohn's disease are also reviewed.This book provides all of the essential information needed in the surgical management of Crohn's disease in one simple volume. It aims to be a useful resource for practicing surgeons and surgical residents as well as gastroenterologists. The authors wish readers to understand the complex decision making and sophisticated surgical techniques that these patients often demand.

Download or read book All Bagged Up written by Grahame Howard and published by Pneuma Springs Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02-28 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease are serious bowel conditions that affect many people of all ages throughout the world today. This is one man’s account of suffering the debilitating UC for 10 years before undergoing stoma surgery for a permanent ileostomy. Pain, humiliation, loss of dignity and anger were all part of the author’s life prior to being told he would need surgery for a colostomy. Hardly had this begun to sink in before, the operation was changed to a permanent ileostomy leading to further psychological issues. This is an honest account of how Grahame Howard survived the 10 years of UC and coped with the knowledge that stoma surgery was inevitable. Grahame’s Christian faith was the mainstay in his survival and played a big part in his recovery, especially receiving a healing miracle while in hospital. The book is autobiographical in style but also gives the reader tips on what to expect prior to surgery and how to live with a stoma and the many psychological battles attached to this. Grahame says “Life is never easy with bowel conditions and when surgery has to take place in order to survive, it can promote anxiety and frustration as answers are difficult to find.” This book is a ‘Must Read’ for people associated with a stoma but will also encourage people who are undergoing personal life issues. There is a better life out there. It’s a matter of finding it. Book reviews online: PublishedBestsellers website.
