Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to determine risk factors for morbidity associated with laparoscopic ileocolic resection (LICR) for Crohn's disease (CD) and whether the addition of a diverting ileostomy is associated with reduced morbidity. METHODS: Patients undergoing LICR for primary CD at our institution from 2005 to 2015 included in a prospectively maintained database were assessed. The decision to perform a diverting ileostomy was left at the discretion of the operating surgeon. Demographics, disease-related, and treatment-related variables were evaluated using univariate and multivariate analyses as possible factors associated with diverting ileostomy creation and 30-day perioperative septic complications (anastomotic leaks and/or abscess). Use of any immunosuppressive medication was defined as use of steroids, biologics, and immunomodulators either alone or in combination. RESULTS: For 409 patients, mortality was nil, overall morbidity rate was 40.6%, conversion rate 9.3%, and septic morbidity rate 7.6%. A diverting stoma was created in 22% of cases and was independently associated with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2 (P = 0.001), low serum albumin levels (P = 0.006), and longer operative time (P = 0.003). Use of any immunosuppressive medication was the only variable independently associated with septic complications, both in the overall population (OR 2.7, P = 0.036) and in the subgroup of undiverted patients (OR 3.1, P = 0.031). There was no association between septic morbidity and ileostomy creation, anastomotic configuration, penetrating disease, combined procedures (other resection or strictureplasty), BMI, albumin levels, and operative times. CONCLUSIONS: LICR is safe in selected cases of complex penetrating disease, including when combined procedures are necessary. Our data are unable to prove that a diverting stoma is associated with reduced morbidity.
