Abstract Background According to recent literature, extended colectomy (EC) and segmental colectomy (SC) are equally effective for colonic Crohn’s disease (CCD), with no differences in terms of postoperative morbidity, incidence of long-term recurrence and definitive stoma, but earlier recurrence is observed in patients with SC. Our objective was to evaluate our comparative results between EC and SC. Methods All consecutive patients undergoing surgery for CCD (EC vs. SC) in our Centre were included and compared and we evaluated postoperative morbidity, long-term clinical and surgical recurrence. Results One hundred and twelve patients (mean age at diagnosis of CD, 31 ± 17 years, mean age at surgery 42 ± 17 years) with CCD underwent EC (n = 45) or SC (n = 67); 62 (55%) patients presenting concomitant small bowel disease, 10 (9%) an extra-intestinal manifestation and 16 (14%) were active smokers. Postoperative morbidity was 8/45 (18%) in case of EC vs. 9/67 (13%) in case of SC (NS). In EC group, 8/8 (100%) complicated patients vs. 16/37 (43%) uncomplicated patients were under anti-TNF before surgery (p = 0.04). This significant difference was not showed in SC group. After a median follow-up of 40 ± 34 months (range 1–130), clinical recurrence incidence was 15/45 (33%) in EC vs. 27/67 (40%) in SC patients (NS) and surgical recurrence was 8/45 (18%) in CE vs. 13/67 (19%) in CS patients (NS). Recurrence of the disease occurred after 19 ± 20 months (range, 1–74) in EC vs. 14 ± 26 months (range, 1–130) in CS patients (p = NS). Conclusion Our study confirms that in case of surgery for CCD, EC and SC are equally safe and feasible but recurrence happens earlier after SC than EC. Additionally, the role of anti-TNF is confirmed for postoperative complications.

Introduction: Anastomotic surgical recurrence after bowel resection is a major problem in patients with Crohn's disease. The aim of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel technique for restoring bowel continuity after resection involving either the small or the large intestine. Methods: The first case was instructed by Dr. Kono at Fujita Health University. The involved bowel segment was divided transversely with a linear stapler. The edges of two stapled lines are then connected to create a supporting column, which prevented surgical recurrence from anastomotic distortion due to mesenteric longitudinal ulcers. Thereafter, an antimesenteric longitudinal enterotomy was performed on each side to create a large-sized handsewn end-to-end anastomosis. Results: Thirty consecutive patients underwent Kono-S anastomoses from December 2009 to August 2013. Neither anastomotic leakage nor surgical recurrence was observed during a median follow-up period of 35 months. Endoscopic surveillance was performed in 18 cases (69.2%) undergoing ileo-colonic or ileo-rectal anastomosis with an average Rutgeert's score of 0.78 (0-3) at a mean of 14.5 months postoperatively. Conclusion: The Kono-S anastomosis for Crohn's disease has been a safe and feasible technique. Long-term outcomes are required to confirm its advantage in preventing surgical recurrence at the anastomosis.
