Abstract

Endoscopic balloon dilation is used to treat ileocolic anastomotic stricture attributed to recurrent Crohn's disease. The purpose of this work was to investigate long-term outcomes after dilation of ileocolic anastomotic stricture and to identify risk factors associated with the need for subsequent surgical intervention. This was a retrospective study based on chart review of an electronic medical chart system. The study was conducted at a tertiary care center. All of the eligible patients with ileocolic anastomotic stricture attributed to recurrent Crohn's disease treated with endoscopic dilation between December 1998 and May 2013 were evaluated. Patients with concurrent enterocutaneous fistula or abdominal or pelvic abscess were excluded. The main outcome measure was the need for subsequent salvage surgery because of stricture-related symptoms. A total of 185 patients with Crohn's disease (45.9% women; mean age, 43.1 years; symptomatic strictures in 80%) underwent 462 endoscopic dilations of ileocolic anastomosis (median per-patient dilations, 2; range, 1-3). During a mean follow-up of 3.9 years, 27 patients (14.6%) required hospitalization without surgery for stricture-related symptoms, and 66 patients (35.7%) required subse...Continue Reading
