Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Controversies

Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Controversies

July 8, 2009 | In: ABDOMINAL SURGERY

CONTROVERSIES


17. Should all patients with enteroenteral fistulas secondary to Crohn’s disease have surgery when the fistula is discovered?

Show answer
For: Such patients ultimately do poorly, develop further intraperitoneal septic complications, and almost always require surgery.
Against: Many of these patients do well without operative treatment until they develop symptoms. It is fine to wait for symptoms.


18. Should all patients with ulcerative colitis that is documented for 10 years, whether the disease is active or not, undergo a colectomy to avoid the risk of carcinoma of the colon?

Show answer
For: The risk of colon cancer in ulcerative colitis increases by approximately 1% per year 10 years after the diagnosis.
Against: Using surveillance colonoscopy and biopsy, only patients whose colons show dysplastic changes need a colectomy.


19. Is ileorectal anastomosis an acceptable operation after colectomy for ulcerative colitis?

Show answer
For: The patients have reasonably normal bowel habits and avoid the complications associated with anal reconstructive procedures.
Against: At least 50% of patients eventually require reoperation for recurrence of disease. The remaining rectum also may be a site for the development of cancer.


20. Is standard (Brooke) ileostomy a good way to handle the terminal ileum after total colectomy for chronic ulcerative colitis?

Show answer
For: The complication rate is very low. More than 90% of patients lead satisfactory lives.
Against: Psychosocial and sexual problems are associated with the use of external appliances, particularly in the teenage group, among whom chronic ulcerative colitis is quite common.


21. Is the continent Kock pouch a good procedure after colectomy for chronic ulcerative colitis?

Show answer
For: It avoids use of an external appliance and is quite easy to manage.
Against: Approximately 25% of all patients who have a Kock pouch require a revision due to slippage of the valve mechanism, thus rendering the pouch incontinent.


22. Is an ileoanal anastomosis with a surgically constructed ileoanal reservoir a good operation after colectomy for chronic ulcerative colitis?

Show answer
For: It avoids external appliances or ostomies, so it is well accepted by patients. Currently, this is the most commonly performed operation after colectomy.
Against: It is more difficult technically to construct; thus, the complication rate is higher. The average number of bowel movements is five per day, and there may be soilage at night. Pouchitis remains a problem.


23. Do all ileal pouch anal anastomoses require a temporary diverting ileostomy?

Show answer
For: The diverting ileostomy protects the reservoir and its suture lines by diverting the fecal stream until it is healed, thus lowering the complication rate.
Against: The triple-stapled ileal pouch anal anastomosis has a low complication rate and low rate of small bowel obstruction. Thus, avoidance of the diverting ileostomy returns the patient to a functional life sooner.
