  1. General Principles of Medical and Surgical Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Jeraldine S. Orlina Colorectal Conference December 22, 2005

  2. Medical Therapy of Ulcerative Colitis • 5-Aminosalicyclic acid agents • Corticosteroids • Cyclosporine • 6-Mercaptopurine • Azathioprine

  3. 5-Aminosalicylic Acid Agents • Sulfasalazine - 5-ASA linked to sulfapyridine by an azo bond - poorly absorbed in upper GI tract - principle use to maintain remission

  4. Operative Indications • Failure of medical therapy • Obstruction • Fistula or abscess • Hemorrhage • Growth retardation (in pediatric population) • Perforation of carcinoma • Extraintestinal manifestations

  5. Preparation of the Patient • Endoscopic and Radiologic studies • Correction of dehydration, electrolyte deficiencies, coagulation deficits, and anemia • Optimization of comorbid conditions • Nutritional optimization • Pre-op marking for stoma (if needed) • Bowel prep

  6. Preparation of patient • Withdrawal of immunosuppressives • Perioperative antibiotics • Stress dose steroids • DVT prophylaxis

  7. Strategic Planning for Surgery • Midline incision to preserve potential stoma sites • Preservation of small bowel • Resection margins—extended resection margins are unnecessary • Use of temporary stoma

  8. Management of Small Bowel Crohn’s Diesease • Chronic obstruction (35%) • Internal fistulas (30%) • Intractability (22%) • Abscess formation (11%)

  9. Types of Operations • Small bowel resection • Multiple small bowel resections (with enteroenterorostomy, diversion, or both) • Bypass • Strictureplasty • Balloon dilatation

  10. Resection • Most common surgical procedure • Wide resection unnecessary • Division of inflamed mesentery

  11. Indications for Strictureplasty • Diffuse involvement of small bowel with multiple strictures • Strictures in a pt who has undergone prev major resection of small bowel • Rapid recurrence of disease manifested as obstruction • Stricture in pt with short bowel syndrome • Nonphlegmonous fibrotic stricture

  12. Relative Contraindications for Stictureplasty • Free or contained perforation of the small bowel • Phlegmonous inflammation, internal fistula, or external fistula involving the affected site • Multiple strictures within a short segment • Stricture in close proximity to a site chosen for resection • Colonic strictures • Hypoalbuminemia

  13. Heineke-Mikulicz Strictureplasty

  14. Finney Strictureplasty

  15. Side-to-side isoperistaltic strictureplasty

  16. Stapled Strictureplasty

  17. Complications • Hemorrhage form suture line • Restricture at strictureplasty site • Fistula/Abscess/Leak • Small bowel adenocarcinoma

  18. Take Home Points • Conservative Management • Preservation of small bowel
