Abstract Introduction The incidence of Crohn's disease (CD) within the pediatric population is increasing worldwide. Despite a growing number of these patients receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor α therapy (anti-TNF-α), one-third of them still require surgery. There is limited data as to whether anti-TNF-α influences postoperative complications. We evaluated postoperative complications in patients who were or were not exposed to anti-TNF-α therapy in our institutional cohort. Materials and Methods A retrospective review of CD patients who underwent abdominal surgery between September 2013 and September 2018 was performed. The patients were divided into two groups based on whether they were treated with anti-TNF-α within 90 days before surgery. Thirty-day postoperative complications were assessed using Clavien–Dindo classification (D-C); this examination included surgical site infections (SSIs), stoma complications, intra-abdominal septic complications, non-SSIs, bleeding, ileus, readmission rate, and return to the operating room. Mann–Whitney U-test, Fisher's exact test, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used for statistical analysis. Results Sixty-five patients (41 males) with a median age of 16 years (range: 7–19) at the time of operation were identified. The most common surgery was ileocecal resection in 49 (75%) patients. Forty-three (66.2%) patients were treated with anti-TNF-α preoperatively. Seven patients (11%) experienced postoperative complications. There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative complication in patients who did or did not receive anti-TNF-α before surgery (D-C minor 2.3% vs. 4.6%, p = 1; D-C major 7% vs. 9.1%, p = 1). Conclusion The use of anti-TNF-α in pediatric CD patients within the 90 days prior to their abdominal surgery was not associated with an increased risk of 30-day postoperative complications.

Abstract Background Many patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) are treated with medications, including steroids, immunomodulators, and anti–tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-α) agents, at the time of surgery. This study evaluated the effects of these medications on postoperative complications in CD patients. Methods This retrospective study analyzed patients who underwent bowel resection for CD between January 2006 and December 2015. Postoperative complications were defined as a Clavien-Dindo classification of grade 2A or higher within the first 30 days after surgery. Results Of the 817 patients enrolled, 687 patients received bowel resection and anastomosis without stoma formation. Of 687 patients, 381 (55.5%) were being treated with preoperative medications at the time of surgery (medication group) and 306 (44.5%) were not (nonmedication group). The overall rate of postoperative complications was not different between the medication and nonmedication groups (23.4% vs 21.9%, P = 0.36). Preoperative treatments with immunomodulators plus anti-TNF-α agents (relative risk [RR], 2.314; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.126–4.753; P = 0.022) and treatment with immunomodulators plus steroids (RR, 2.536; 95% CI, 1.124–5.725; P = 0.025) were risk factors for infectious complications. Preoperative treatments with immunomodulators plus anti-TNF-α agents (RR, 2.731; 95% CI, 1.102–6.769; P = 0.03) and treatment with immunomodulators plus steroids (RR, 3.118; 95% CI, 1.169–8.320; P = 0.023) were significantly associated with increased risk of intra-abdominal sepsis. Conclusions Preoperative treatments with immunomodulators plus anti-TNF-α agents or steroids were risk factors for infectious complications, especially intra-abdominal sepsis in patients who underwent bowel resection and anastomosis.

Meta Analyses

Background: : Biological therapy with anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α agents revolutionised the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease over the last decades. However, there may be an increased risk of postoperative complications in Crohn’s disease (CD) patients treated with anti-TNF-α agents prior to abdominal surgery. Objective:: To evaluate the effects of preoperative anti-TNF-α therapy on the incidence of complications after surgery. Methods: : A critical assessment of the results of clinical trial outcomes and meta-analyses on the available data was conducted. Results: : Based on the outcomes of previous reports including meta-analyses, preoperative use of anti- TNF-α agents modestly increased the risk of overall complications and particularly infectious complications after abdominal surgery for CD. Nevertheless, previous studies have several limitations. The majority of them were retrospective research with heterogeneous outcome measures and single centre trials with relatively small sample size. In retrospective studies, the standard protocol for assessing various types of postoperative complications was not used. The most serious limitation of the previous studies was that multiple confounding factors such as malnutrition, use of corticosteroids, and preoperative sepsis were not taken into consideration. Conclusion:: Among patients treated with preoperative anti-TNF-α therapy, the risk of overall complications and infectious complications may slightly increase after abdominal surgery for CD. Nevertheless, the previous reports reviewed in this study suffered from limitations. To rigorously evaluate the risk of anti-TNF-α therapy prior to surgery, large prospective studies with standardised criteria for assessing surgical complications and with proper adjustment for confounding variables are warranted.

Summary The aim of this study was to show the influence of various risk factors on early postoperative complications following surgery for Crohn’s disease (CD). In this review, an online internet database was searched, and also systematic review of the literature was performed. Three different studies from different countries were analyzed and compared with the results obtained in our University Clinic of Digestive Surgery - Skopje. The first review shows the influence of positive resection margins in CD on septical complications occurrence in patients undergoing ileocolic resection for CD at the Tel Aviv Medical Centre - Israel. The second review shows the risk factors for complications after bowel surgery in Korean patients with CD using data from the Asan Medical Centre - Seul, Korea. The third review shows that the delay of surgery is associated with inferior postoperative outcome in patients treated for perforating Crohn’s ileitis, and the study was conducted using data from the medical records of patients treated at the Department of Surgery at the University of Regensburg, Germany. Finally, we analyzed the influence of the most common risk factors on early postoperative complications in patients that underwent surgery for Crohn’s disease in a five-year period at the University Clinic of Digestive Surgery in Skopje, Macedonia and compared them with the results in the aforementioned articles.
