RESUMO
AIM: The aim of this work was to investigate the association between early postoperative anastomotic leakage or pelvic abscess (AL/PA) and symptomatic anastomotic stenosis (SAS) in patients after surgery for left colonic diverticulitis. METHOD: This is a retrospective study based on a national cohort of diverticulitis surgery patients carried out by the Association Française de Chirurgie. The assessment was performed using path analyses. The database included 7053 patients operated on for colonic diverticulitis, with surgery performed electively or in an emergency, by open access or laparoscopically. Patients were excluded from the study analysis where there was (i) right-sided diverticulitis (the initial database included all consecutive patients operated on for colonic diverticulitis), (ii) no anastomosis was performed during the first procedure or (iii) missing information about stenosis, postoperative abscess or anastomotic leakage. RESULTS: Of the 4441 patients who were included in the final analysis, AL/PA occurred in 327 (4.6%) and SAS occurred in 82 (1.8%). AL/PA was a significant independent factor associated with a risk for occurrence of SAS (OR = 3.41, 95% CI = 1.75-6.66), as was the case for diverting stoma for ≥100 days (OR = 2.77, 95% CI = 1.32-5.82), while central vessel ligation proximal to the inferior mesenteric artery was associated with a reduced risk (OR = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.19-0.88). Diverting stoma created for <100 days or ≥100 days was also a factor associated with a risk for AL/PA (OR = 3.08, 95% CI = 2-4.75 and OR = 12.95, 95% CI = 9.11-18.50). Interestingly, no significant association between radiological drainage or surgical management of AL/PA and SAS could be highlighted. CONCLUSION: AL/PA was an independent factor associated with the risk for SAS. The treatment of AL/PA was not associated with the occurrence of anastomotic stenosis. Diverting stoma was associated with an increased risk of both AL/PA and SAS, especially if it was left for ≥100 days. Physicians must be aware of this information in order to decide on the best course of action when creating a stoma during elective or emergency surgery.

Nonoperative management of severe caustic injuries has demonstrated its feasibility, avoiding the need for emergency esogastric resection and resulting in low mortality rates. However, leaving superficial necrosis in place could increase the risk of esophageal stricture development. Data on the risk factors of esophageal stricture secondary to caustic ingestion are scarce. The aim of our study was to identify the risk factors for esophageal strictures after caustic ingestion at admission. From February 2015 to March 2021, all consecutive patients with esophageal or gastric caustic injury score ≥ II according to the Zargar classification were retrospectively analyzed. For each patient, we collected over 50 criteria at admission to the emergency room and then selected among them 20 criteria with the best clinical relevance and limited missing data for risk factor analyses. Among the 184 patients included in this study, 37 developed esophageal strictures (cumulative rate 29.4%). All esophageal strictures occurred within 3 months. In multivariate analyses, the risk factors for esophageal strictures were voluntary ingestion (cause-specific hazard ratio 5.92; 95% confidence interval 1.76-19.95, P = 0.004), Zargar's esophageal score ≥ III (cause-specific hazard ratio 14.30; 95% confidence interval 6.07-33.67, P < 0.001), and severe ear, nose, and throat lesions (cause-specific hazard ratio 2.15; 95% confidence interval 1.09-4.22, P = 0.027). Intentional ingestion, severe endoscopic grade, and severe ENT lesions were identified as risk factors for esophageal stricture following caustic ingestion. Preventive measures for this population require further evaluation.

The therapeutic management of Crohn's disease (CD), a chronic relapsing-remitting inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is highly challenging. Surgical resection is sometimes a necessary procedure even though it is often associated with postoperative recurrences (PORs). Tofacitinib, an orally active small molecule Janus kinase inhibitor, is an anti-inflammatory drug meant to limit PORs in CD. Whereas bidirectional interactions between the gut microbiota and the relevant IBD drug are crucial, little is known about the impact of tofacitinib on the gut microbiota. The HLA-B27 transgenic rat is a good preclinical model used in IBD research, including for PORs after ileocecal resection (ICR). In the present study, we used shotgun metagenomics to first delineate the baseline composition and determinants of the fecal microbiome of HLA-B27 rats and then to evaluate the distinct impact of either tofacitinib treatment, ileocecal resection or the cumulative effect of both interventions on the gut microbiota in these HLA-B27 rats. The results confirmed that the microbiome of the HLA-B27 rats was fairly different from their wild-type littermates. We demonstrated here that oral treatment with tofacitinib does not affect the gut microbial composition of HLA-B27 rats. Of note, we showed that ICR induced an intense loss of bacterial diversity together with dramatic changes in taxa relative abundances. However, the oral treatment with tofacitinib neither modified the alpha-diversity nor exacerbated significant modifications in bacterial taxa induced by ICR. Collectively, these preclinical data are rather favorable for the use of tofacitinib in combination with ICR to address Crohn's disease management when considering microbiota.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the surgical management of sigmoid diverticular disease (SDD) before, during, and after the first containment rules (CR) for the first wave of COVID-19. METHODS: From the French Surgical Association multicenter series, this study included all patients operated on between January 2018 and September 2021. Three groups were compared: A (before CR period: 01/01/18-03/16/20), B (CR period: 03/17/20-05/03/20), and C (post CR period: 05/04/20-09/30/21). RESULTS: A total of 1965 patients (A n = 1517, B n = 52, C n = 396) were included. The A group had significantly more previous SDD compared to the two other groups (p = 0.007), especially complicated (p = 0.0004). The rate of peritonitis was significantly higher in the B (46.1%) and C (38.4%) groups compared to the A group (31.7%) (p = 0.034 and p = 0.014). As regards surgical treatment, Hartmann's procedure was more often performed in the B group (44.2%, vs A 25.5% and C 26.8%, p = 0.01). Mortality at 90 days was significantly higher in the B group (9.6%, vs A 4% and C 6.3%, p = 0.034). This difference was also significant between the A and B groups (p = 0.048), as well as between the A and C groups (p = 0.05). There was no significant difference between the three groups in terms of postoperative morbidity. CONCLUSION: This study shows that the management of SDD was impacted by COVID-19 at CR, but also after and until September 2021, both on the initial clinical presentation and on postoperative mortality.

BACKGROUND: The modulation of perioperative inflammation seems crucial to improve postoperative morbidity and cancer-related outcomes in patients undergoing oncological surgery. Data from the literature suggest that perioperative corticosteroids decrease inflammatory markers and might be associated with fewer complications in esophageal, liver, pancreatic and colorectal surgery. Their benefit on cancer-related outcomes has not been assessed. METHODS: The CORTIFRENCH trial is a phase III multicenter randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial to assess the impact of a flash dose of preoperative corticosteroids versus placebo on postoperative morbidity and cancer-related outcomes after elective curative-intent surgery for digestive cancer. The primary endpoint is the frequency of patients with postoperative major complications occurring within 30 days after surgery (defined as all complications with Clavien-Dindo grade > 2). The secondary endpoints are the overall survival at 3 years, the disease-free survival at 3 years, the frequency of patients with intraabdominal infections and postoperative infections within 30 days after surgery and the hospital length of stay. We hypothesize a reduced risk of major complications and a better disease-survival at 3 years in the experimental group. Allowing for 5% of drop-out, 1 200 patients (600 per arm) should be included. DISCUSSION: This will be the first trial focusing on the impact of perioperative corticosteroids on cancer related outcomes. If significant, it might be a strong improvement on oncological outcomes for patients undergoing surgery for digestive cancers.

BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that failure to rescue (FTR) is an important factor of postoperative mortality (POM) after rectal cancer surgery and surgical approach modified post-operative outcomes. However, the impact of laparoscopy on FTR after proctectomy for rectal cancer remains unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the rates of postoperative complications and FTR after laparoscopy vs open proctectomy for cancer. METHODS: All patients who underwent proctectomy for rectal cancer between 2012 and 2016 were included. FTR was defined as the 90-day POM rate among patients with major complications. Outcomes of patients undergoing open or laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery were compared after 1:1 propensity score matching by year of surgery, hospital volume, sex, age, Charlson score, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, tumor localization and type of anastomosis. RESULTS: Overall, 44,536 patients who underwent proctectomy were included, 7043 of whom (15.8%) developed major complications. The rates of major complications, POM and FTR were significantly higher in open compared to laparoscopic procedure (major complications: 19.2% vs 13.7%, p < 0.001; POM: 5.4% vs 2.3%, p < 0.001; FTR: 13.6% vs 8.3%, p < 0.001; respectively). After matching, open and laparoscopic groups were comparable. Multivariate analysis showed that age, Charlson score, sphincter-preserving procedure and surgical approach were predictive factors for FTR. Open proctectomy was found to be a risk factor for FTR (OR 1.342, IC95% [1.066; 1.689], p = 0.012) compared to laparoscopic procedure. CONCLUSION: When complications occurred, patients operated on by open proctectomy were more likely to die.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of diverting enterostomy (DE) in patients with severe steroid-refractory (SR) gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host-disease (GI-aGVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND DATA: Severe GI-aGVHD refractory to the first-line steroid therapy is a rare but dramatic life-threatening complication. Second lines of immunosuppressors have limited effects and increase the risk of sepsis. Data suggest that limiting GI bacterial translocation by DE could restrain severe GI-aGVHD. METHODS: From 2004 to 2018, we retrospectively reviewed all consecutive patients undergoing ASCT for hematologic malignancies who developed severe SR GI-aGVHD. We compared patients in whom a proximal DE was performed (Enterostomy group) with those not subjected to DE (Medical group). The primary endpoint was the 1-year overall survival (OS) measured from the onset of GI-aGVHD. Secondary endpoints were the 2-year OS and causes of death. RESULTS: Of the 1295 patients who underwent ASCT, 51 patients with severe SR GI-aGVHD were analyzed (13 in Enterostomy group and 38 in Medical group). Characteristics of patients, transplantation modalities, and aGVHD severity were similar in both groups. The 1-year OS was better after DE (54% vs 5%, P = 0.0004). The 2-year OS was also better in "Enterostomy group" (31% vs 2.5%; P = 0.0015), with a trend to lower death by sepsis (30.8% vs 57.9%; P = 0.091). CONCLUSION: DE should be considered for severe GI-aGVHD as soon as resistance to the corticosteroid is identified.

OBJECTIVE: To report the largest multicentric experience on surgical management of retrorectal tumors (RRT). BACKGROUND: Literature data on RRT is limited. There is no consensus concerning the best surgical approach for the management of RRT. METHODS: Patients operated for RRT in 18 academic French centers were retrospectively included (2000-2019). RESULTS: A total of 270 patients were included. Surgery was performed through abdominal (n = 72, 27%), bottom (n = 190, 70%), or combined approach (n = 8, 3%). Abdominal approach was laparoscopic in 53/72 (74%) and bottom approach was Kraske modified procedures in 169/190 (89%) patients. In laparoscopic abdominal group, tumors were more frequently symptomatic (37/53, 70% vs 88/169, 52%, P = 0.02), larger [mean diameter = 60.5 ± 24 (range, 13-107) vs 51 ± 26 (20-105) mm, P = 0.02] and located above S3 vertebra (n = 3/42, 7% vs 0%, P = 0.001) than those from Kraske modified group. Laparoscopy was associated with a higher risk of postoperative ileus (n = 4/53, 7.5% vs 0%, P = 0.002) and rectal fistula (n = 3/53, 6% vs 0%, P=0.01) but less wound abscess (n = 1/53, 2% vs 24/169, 14%, P = 0.02) than Kraske modified procedures. RRT was malignant in 8%. After a mean follow up of 27 ±39 (1-221) months, local recurrence was noted in 8% of the patients. After surgery, chronic pain was observed in 17% of the patients without significant difference between the 2 groups (15/74, 20% vs 3/30, 10%; P = 0.3). CONCLUSIONS: Both laparoscopic and Kraske modified approaches can be used for surgical treatment of RRT (according to their location and their size), with similar long-term results.

AIM: Postoperative morbidity is high in patients operated on for Crohn's disease (CD) complicated by malnutrition. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of preoperative enteral nutritional support (PENS) on postoperative outcome in patients with CD complicated by malnutrition included in a prospective nationwide cohort. METHOD: Malnutrition was defined as body mass index <18 kg/m2 and/or albuminaemia <30 g/L and/or weight loss >10%. Failure of PENS was defined as the requirement for additional preoperative parenteral nutrition to PENS. Univariate analysis of the risk factors for PENS failure was performed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare the outcomes between 'upfront surgery' and 'PENS' groups. The primary endpoint was the rate of intra-abdominal septic morbidity and/or temporary defunctioning stoma. RESULTS: Among 592 patients included, 149 were selected. In the intention-to-treat population including 20 (13.4%) patients with PENS failure after PSM, 78 'upfront surgery' and 71 'PENS'-matched patients were compared, with no significant difference in the primary endpoint. Perforating CD and preoperative intra-abdominal fistula were associated with PENS failure [37.5 vs 16.1% (P = 0.047) and 41.2% vs 16.2% (P = 0.020), respectively]. After exclusion of these 20 patients, PSM was used to compare 45 'upfront surgery' and 51 'PENS'-matched patients, with a significantly decreased rate of intra-abdominal septic complications and/or temporary defunctioning stoma in the PENS group (19.6 vs 42.2%, P = 0.016). CONCLUSION: Preoperative enteral nutritional support is associated with a trend but no conclusive evidence of a reduction in intra-abdominal septic complications and/or requirement for defunctioning stoma. Patients with perforating CD complicated with malnutrition are at risk of PENS failure.

BACKGROUND: There are no specific guidelines for ventral hernia management in Crohn's disease (CD) patients. We aimed to assess the risk of septic morbidity after mesh repair in CD. METHODS: This was a retrospective multicentre study comparing CD and non-CD patients undergoing mesh repair for ventral hernia (primary or incisional hernia). Controls were matched 1:1 for the presence of a stoma, history of surgical sepsis, hernia size and Ventral Hernia Working Group (VHWG) score. All demographic, pre-, intra- and postoperative data were retrieved, including long-term data. RESULTS: We included 234 patients, with 114 CD patients. Both groups had comparable VHWG scores (p = 0.12), hernia sizes (p = 0.11), ASA scores ≥ 3 (p = 0.70), body mass index values (p = 0.14), presence of stoma (CD 21.9% vs. controls 15%, p = 0.16), history of sepsis (14% vs. 6.7%, p = 0.23), rates of malnutrition (4.4% vs. 1.7%, p = 0.46), rates of incisional hernia (93% vs. 95%, p = 0.68) and concomitant procedures (18.4% vs. 11.7%, p = 0.12). CD patients carried a higher risk of postoperative septic morbidity (18.4% vs. 5%, p = 0.001), entero-prosthetic fistula (7% vs. 0, p < 0.01) and mesh withdrawals (5.3% vs. 0, p = 0.011). Ventral hernia recurrence rates were similar (14% vs. 8.3%, p = 0.15). In the univariate analysis, the risk factors for septic morbidity were CD (p = 0.001), malnutrition (p = 0.004), use of biological mesh (p < 0.0001) and concomitant procedure (p = 0.004). The mesh position, the means used for mesh fixation as well as the presence of a stoma were not identified as risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: CD seems to be a risk factor for septic morbidity after mesh repair.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess recurrence risk factors following ileocolonic resection (ICR) for Crohn disease (CD) in a nationwide cohort study SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA:: Recurrence rate after ICR for CD can be up to 60%, but its predictive factors have never been evaluated in large prospective cohort studies. METHODS: From 2013 to 2015, 346 consecutive patients undergoing ICR for CD and a postoperative ileocoloscopy within 6 to 12 months after surgery at 19 academic French centers were included prospectively. RESULTS: Twelve-month postoperative endoscopic (Rutgeerts score ≥i2) and clinical recurrence rates were 57.6% [95% confidence interval (CI), 54.2-61.0] and 11.3% (95% CI, 9-13.6), respectively. A total of 185 patients (54%) had a postoperative CD prophylaxis, comprising thiopurine in 69 (20%), or anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy in 93 (27%). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, absence of postoperative smoking {odds ratio [OR] = 0.60 (95% CI, 0.40-0.91); P = 0.016}, postoperative prophylaxis [OR = 0.60 (95% CI, 0.41-0.88); P = 0.009], and penetrating disease behavior [OR = 0.58 (95% CI, 0.39-0.86); P = 0.007] were the only independent predictors of reduced endoscopic recurrence risk. Postoperative prophylaxis [OR 0.31 (95% CI, 0.15-0.66); P = 0.002), and penetrating behavior [OR = 00.36 (95% CI, 0.16-0.81); P = 0.013), were the only independent predictors of reduced clinical recurrence risk. Postoperative anti-TNF therapy was associated with a significant reduction of both 12-month risks of endoscopic (P < 0.001) and clinical (P = 0.019) recurrences. CONCLUSION: Absence of postoperative smoking, CD prophylaxis, and penetrating disease behavior could be independent predictors of reduced postoperative recurrence after ICR for CD. Prophylactic anti-TNF therapy reduces both endoscopic and clinical recurrence rates. It suggests that upfront surgery followed by postoperative anti-TNF therapy is probably the best therapeutic approach for complex CD (penetrating disease behavior).

OBJECTIVE: To identify the impact of hospital volume according to Charlson Comorbidity Index (ChCI) on postoperative mortality (POM) after rectal cancer surgery. BACKGROUND: A volume-outcome relationship has been established in complex surgical procedures. However, little is known regarding the impact of hospital volume on POM according to patients' comorbidities after rectal cancer surgery. METHODS: All patients undergoing proctectomy for cancer from 2012 to 2016 were identified in the French nationwide database. Patient condition was assessed on the basis of the validated ChCl and was stratified into 3 groups according to the score (0-2, 3, and ≥4). Chi-square automatic interaction detector (CHAID) was used to identify the cut-off values of the annual proctectomy caseload affecting the 90-day POM. The 90-day POM was analyzed according to hospital volume (low: <10, intermediate: 10-40, and high: ≥41âcases/yr) and ChCI. RESULTS: Among 45,569 rectal cancer resections, the 90-day POM was 3.5% and correlated to ChCI (ChCI 0-2: 1.9%, ChCI 3: 4.9%, ChCI ≥4: 5.8%; P < 0.001). There was a linear decrease in POM with increasing hospital volume (low: 5.6%, intermediate: 3.5%, high: 1.9%; P < 0.001). For low-risk patients (ChCl 0-2), 90-day POM was significantly higher in low and intermediate hospital volume compared with high hospital volume centers (3.2% and 1.8% vs 1.1%; P < 0.001). A significant decrease in postoperative hemorrhage complication rates was observed with increasing center volume (low: 13.3%, intermediate: 11.9%, and high: 9.4%; P < 0.001). After multivariable analysis, proctectomy in low [odds ratio (OR) 2.1, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.71-2.58, P < 0.001] and intermediate (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.2-1.75, P < 0.001) hospital volume centers were independently associated with higher risk of mortality. CONCLUSION: The POM after proctectomy for rectal cancer is strongly associated with hospital volume independent of patients' comorbidities. To improve postoperative outcomes, rectal surgery should be centralized.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the risk factors of morbidity after surgery for ileocolonic Crohn disease (CD). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The risk factors of morbidity after surgery for CD, particularly the role of anti-TNF therapy, remain controversial and have not been evaluated in a large prospective cohort study. METHODS: From 2013 to 2015, data on 592 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for CD in 19 French specialty centers were collected prospectively. Possible relationships between anti-TNF and postoperative overall morbidity were tested by univariate and multivariate analyses. Because treatment by anti-TNF is possibly dependent on the characteristics of the patients and disease, a propensity score was calculated and introduced in the analyses using adjustment of the inverse probability of treatment-weighted method. RESULTS: Postoperative mortality, overall and intra-abdominal septic morbidity rates in the entire cohort were 0%, 29.7%, and 8.4%, respectively; 143 (24.1%) patients had received anti-TNF <3 months prior to surgery. In the multivariate analysis, anti-TNF <3 months prior to surgery was identified as an independent risk factor of the overall postoperative morbidity (odds-ratio [OR] =1.99; confidence interval [CI] 95% = 1.17-3.39, P = 0.011), with preoperative hemoglobin <10âg/dL (OR = 4.77; CI 95% = 1.32-17.35, P = 0.017), operative time >180âmin (OR = 2.71; CI 95% = 1.54-4.78, P < 0.001) and recurrent CD (OR = 1.99; CI 95% = 1.13-3.36, P = 0.017). After calculating the propensity score and adjustment according to the inverse probability of treatment-weighted method, anti-TNF <3 months prior to surgery remained associated with a higher risk of overall (OR = 2.98; CI 95% = 2.04-4.35, P <0.0001) and intra-abdominal septic postoperative morbidities (OR = 2.22; CI 95% = 1.22-4.04, P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative anti-TNF therapy is associated with a higher risk of morbidity after surgery for ileocolonic CD. This information should be considered in the surgical management of these patients, particularly with regard to the preoperative preparation and indication of temporary defunctioning stoma.

OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the frequency of and risk factors for early (30-day) postoperative complications after ileocecal resection in a well-characterized, prospective cohort of Crohn's disease patients. METHODS: The REMIND group performed a nationwide study in 9 French university medical centers. Clinical-, biological-, surgical-, and treatment-related data on the 3 months before surgery were collected prospectively. Patients operated on between 1 September 2010 and 30 August 2014 were included. RESULTS: A total of 209 patients were included. The indication for ileocecal resection was stricturing disease in 109 (52%) cases, penetrating complications in 88 (42%), and medication-refractory inflammatory disease in 12 (6%). A two-stage procedure was performed in 33 (16%) patients. There were no postoperative deaths. Forty-three (21%) patients (23% of the patients with a one-stage procedure vs. 9% of those with a two-stage procedure, P=0.28) experienced a total of 54 early postoperative complications after a median time interval of 5 days (interquartile range, 4-12): intra-abdominal septic complications (n=38), extra-intestinal infections (n=10), and hemorrhage (n=6). Eighteen complications (33%) were severe (Dindo-Clavien III-IV). Reoperation was necessary in 14 (7%) patients, and secondary stomy was performed in 8 (4.5%). In a multivariate analysis, corticosteroid treatment in the 4 weeks before surgery was significantly associated with an elevated postoperative complication rate (odds ratio (95% confidence interval)=2.69 (1.15-6.29); P=0.022). Neither preoperative exposure to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents (n=93, 44%) nor trough serum anti-TNF levels were significant risk factors for postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: In this large, nationwide, prospective cohort, postoperative complications were observed after 21% of the ileocecal resections. Corticosteroid treatment in the 4 weeks before surgery was significantly associated with an elevated postoperative complication rate. In contrast, preoperative anti-TNF therapy (regardless of the serum level or the time interval between last administration and surgery) was not associated with an elevated risk of postoperative complications.

INTRODUCTION: Crohn's disease (CD) is a progressive inflammatory disease affecting the entire gastrointestinal tract. The need for a definitive stoma (DS) is considered as the ultimate phase of damage. It is often believed that the risk of further disease progression is small when a DS has been performed. AIMS: The goals of the study were to establish the rate of CD recurrence above the DS and to identify predictive factors of CD recurrence at the time of DS. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all medical records of consecutive CD patients having undergone DS between 1973 and 2010. We collected clinical data at diagnosis, CD phenotype, treatment, and surgery after DS and mortality. Stoma was considered as definitive when restoration of continuity was not possible due to proctectomy, rectitis, anoperineal lesions (APL), or fecal incontinence. Clinical recurrence (CR) was defined as the need for re-introduction or intensification of medical therapy, and surgical recurrence (SR) was defined as a need for a new intestinal resection. RESULTS: Eighty-three patients (20 males, 63 females) with a median age of 34 years at CD diagnosis were included. The median time between diagnosis and DS was 9 years. The median follow-up after DS was 10 years. Thirty-five patients (42%) presented a CR after a median time of 28 months (2-211) and 32 patients (38%) presented a SR after a median time of 29 months (4-212). In a multivariate analysis, APL (HR = 5.1 (1.2-21.1), p = 0.03) and colostomy at time of DS (HR = 3.8 (1.9-7.3), p = 0.0001) were associated factors with the CR. CONCLUSION: After DS for CD, the risk of clinical recurrence was high and synonymous with surgical recurrence, especially for patients with APL and colostomy.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Persistent perineal sinus (PPS) defined as a perineal wound remaining unhealed more than 6 months after abdominoperineal resection (APR) is a well-known complication. The aim of our study was (1) to evaluate the incidence of PPS after APR for Crohn's disease (CD) in the era of biotherapy, (2) to determine long-term outcome of PPS, (3) to study risk factors associated with delayed perineal healing, and (4) to compare the results in this CD patient group with patients without CD. METHODS: From 1997 to 2013, the records of patients who underwent APR for CD and for non-CD rectal cancer with or without radiochemotherapy at two French university hospitals were studied retrospectively. Perineal healing was evaluated by clinical examination at 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS: The cumulative probability of perineal wound unhealed at 6 and 12 months after surgery was 85 and 48%, respectively, for 81 patients who underwent APR for CD patients in contrast to 21 and 13%, respectively, for 25 non-CD patients with rectal cancer. Eight patients with CD (10%) remained with PPS after a median follow up of 4 years and spontaneous perineal healing occurred with time for all non-CD patients. Factors associated with delayed perineal healing in CD included age at surgery < 49 years (p = 0.001) and colonic-only Crohn's disease location (p = 0.045). Medical treatments had no significant impact on perineal healing. CONCLUSIONS: PPS beyond 6 months post-APR remains a frequent complication but mostly resolves over time. CD is a risk factor for developing PPS and factors associated with higher incidence of PPS were age at surgery < 49 years and colonic-only Crohn's disease location. Prevention of PPS in this population with muscle flap during APR deserves to be evaluated.

INTRODUCTION: Corticosteroids are still the standard first-line treatment for immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). As second-line therapy, splenectomy and Rituximab are both recommended. The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy of Rituximab to splenectomy in persistent or chronic ITP patients. METHODS: Between January 1999 and March 2015, we retrospectively selected all consecutive patients who underwent an ITP second-line treatment: Rituximab or splenectomy. The distinction between open (OS) and laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) was analyzed. Primary outcome was composite: hospitalization for bleeding and/or thrombocytopenia and death from hemorrhage or infection. Secondary outcomes were based on response (R) and complete response (CR) rates as defined by the American Society of Hematology. RESULTS: Ninety-six patients were included: 30 patients received Rituximab, 37 underwent OS, and 29 underwent LS. The follow-up was 30, 60, and 120 months in Rituximab, LS, and OS groups, respectively. At 30 month, the primary outcome-free survival rate was higher in splenectomy groups (84% for OS, 86% for LS) than Rituximab group (47%) (P = 0.0002). Similarly, at 30 month, R and CR rates were higher for OS (86.5% and 75.7%, respectively) and LS groups (93.1% and 89.7%) than Rituximab (46.7% and 30%) (P = 0.0001). Moreover, R rates remained elevated at 60 month for OS and LS groups (83.7% and 89.6% respectively) and 78.4% at 120 month for OS group. CONCLUSION: We observed that splenectomy for ITP second-line treatment was more effective than Rituximab regarding maintenance of R, CR, and overall response rates. OS and LS had similar efficacy.

OBJECTIVE: To compare Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation (DGHAL) with circular stapled hemorrhoidopexy (SH) in the treatment of grade II/III hemorrhoidal disease (HD). BACKGROUND: DGHAL is a treatment option for symptomatic HD; existing studies report limited risk and satisfactory outcomes. DGHAL has never before been compared with SH in a large-scale multi-institutional randomized clinical trial. METHODS: Three hundred ninety-three grade II/III HD patients recruited in 22 centers from 2010 to 2013 were randomized to DGHAL (n = 197) or SH (n = 196). The primary endpoint was operative-related morbidity at 3 months (D.90) based on the Clavien-Dindo surgical complications grading. Total cost, cost-effectiveness, and clinical outcome were assessed at 1 year. RESULTS: At D.90, operative-related adverse events occurred after DGHAL and SH, respectively, in 47 (24%) and 50 (26%) patients (P = 0.70). DGHAL resulted in longer mean operating time (44±16 vs 30±14âmin; P < 0.001), less pain (postoperative and at 2 wks visual analogic scale: 2.2 vs 2.8; 1.3 vs 1.9; P = 0.03; P = 0.013) and shorter sick leave (12.3 vs 14.8 d; P = 0.045). At 1 year, DGHAL led to more residual grade III HD (15% vs 5%) and a higher reoperation rate (8% vs 4%). Patient satisfaction was >90% for both procedures. Total cost at 1 year was greater for DGHAL [&OV0556;2806 (&OV0556;2670; 2967) vs &OV0556;2538 (&OV0556;2386; 2737)]. The D.90, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was &OV0556;7192 per averted complication. At 1 year DGHAL strategy was dominated. CONCLUSIONS: DGHAL and SH are viable options in grade II/III HD with no significant difference in operative-related risk. Although resulting in less postoperative pain and shorter sick leave, DGHAL was more expensive, took longer, and provided a possible inferior anatomical correction suggesting an increased risk of recurrence.

PURPOSE: Best clinical management of severe caustic injury is still a subject of debate. Most surgical teams consider severe caustic injury as an indication for emergency surgery. But, under certain circumstances, conservative management is feasible, avoids the need for gastrectomy, and has a low mortality rate. Postponed reconstructive surgery is usually performed several months after caustic ingestion to restore intestinal continuity or to treat stricture sequelae. This study aimed to investigate long-term nutritional and quality of life (QoL) outcomes after reconstructive surgery for high-grade esophageal and gastric caustic injury. METHODS: Twenty-one patients were assessed for biological and nutritional parameters, physical findings, and quality of life surveys at least 25 months after reconstructive surgery among patients who have required emergency surgery (n = 10) and patients who did not undergo emergency surgery (n = 11). RESULTS: After median follow-up of 74 months (after caustic ingestion) and 67 months (after reconstructive surgery), patients who avoided emergency surgery experienced faster oral diet resumption (49 vs. 157 days, p = 0.004), less weight loss (0.3 vs. 20 kg, p = 0.002), greater body fat percentage (22 vs. 18 %, p = 0.046), better nutritional and physical status (SF12 PCS 51 vs. 43, p = 0.036), and less trouble eating (EORTC QLQ-OG 25 31 vs. 56, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Our study is the first to evaluate long-term nutritional and QoL outcomes, following severe caustic injury. It demonstrates better long-term nutritional outcomes and QoL in patients suitable for initial conservative management. These results support full functional recuperation of spared organs, even severely burned. In the absence of clinical or biological signs necessitating immediate surgery, conservative management should be advocated.

BACKGROUND: Life-threatening postoperative pancreatic fistula (LTPOPF) is the most feared complication after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Although completion pancreatectomy (CP) is usually performed when radiological management fails, the associated morbidity and mortality rates remain high. Here, we reviewed pancreas-preserving alternatives to CP. METHODS: The PubMed database was systematically searched for publications between 1983 and 2014, describing pancreas-preserving surgical treatment of the pancreas remnant (PR) after reintervention in a context of post-PD LTPOPF. RESULTS: A total of 12 articles including 140 patients were reviewed. Six different types of pancreas-preserving treatment were described: external wirsungostomy, simple drainage of the PF, closure of pancreatic stump, internal wirsungostomy, partial CP, and salvage pancreatogastrostomy after major leakage of a pancreatojejunostomy. The overall median survival rate was 75 % but rose to 83 % when patients undergoing only surgical drainage of the fistula were excluded. The median complication rate was 75 %, and the median length of hospital stay was 41.5 days. Further reintervention was required for 25 % of the patients. The median incidence of late diabetes was 22.5 %. The incidence of exocrine insufficiency ranged from 0 to 100 % depending on the intervention. CONCLUSION: Pancreas-preserving surgical management of the PR after LTPOPF can be performed with acceptable mortality and morbidity. These data suggest that CP should have a more precisely specified role in the management algorithm and should not be performed systematically.
