Outcomes of Primary Ileocolic Resection for Pediatric Crohn Disease in the Biologic Era.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Current clinical algorithms position surgery as the last option in pediatric Crohn disease (CD). Studies suggest improved outcomes with earlier surgery, but pediatric postoperative outcomes data in the biologic era are limited. We aimed to describe the preoperative management and postoperative outcomes in a pediatric CD cohort who underwent ileocolic resection (ICR) at a tertiary care inflammatory bowel disease center over the last decade.

Methods

Single-center, retrospective study of pediatric (<18 years) CD patients who underwent ICR between 2008 and 2019 with primary outcome of rate of endoscopic recurrence (Rutgeerts' >i2) at 2 years post-ICR. Key secondary outcomes included endoscopic remission (Rutgeerts' i0), frequency of 30-day postoperative complications,
