About 24% of children with Crohn's Disease (CD) require surgery. In 2003, Kono et al. described a novel anastomosis reported to decrease the rate of anastomotic CD recurrence. Subsequent studies have reproduced these outcomes, but none has demonstrated its effect in pediatric patients. This study evaluates short-term outcomes of pediatric patients following ileocolic resection and Kono-S anastomosis.
A retrospective review of patients < 18 years old who underwent ileocolic resection followed by Kono-S anastomosis compared with those who underwent a stapled anastomosis.
Nine Kono-S patients were matched with nine patients preceding them who received traditional side-to-side and end-to-side anastomoses. All patients underwent minimally invasive surgery. Demographics, pre-operative medication usage, and symptom profiles were not significantly different. Traditional anastomosis (TA) patients had longer lengths of stay (4.6 vs 2.9 days; p = 0.03) but had no statistically significant differences in blood loss, procedure length, and pathologic findings. One Kono-S patient had a superficial surgical site infection, and one TA patient had an anastomotic leak requiring reoperation within 30 days. More TA patients experienced post-operative symptoms at both 30-day and 6-month follow-up (66.7% vs 33.3%; p = 0.16 and 77.8% vs 25%; p = 0.03).
The Kono-S anastomosis appears to be safe in pediatric CD when compared to traditional stapled anastomoses.
约 24%的克罗恩病(CD)患儿需要手术。2003 年,Kono 等人描述了一种新的吻合术,据报道可降低吻合口 CD 复发率。随后的研究复制了这些结果,但没有一项研究证明其在儿科患者中的效果。本研究评估了行回肠结肠切除术和 Kono-S 吻合术的小儿患者的短期结局。
回顾性分析了<18 岁接受回肠结肠切除术和 Kono-S 吻合术的患者与接受吻合术的患者的资料。
9 例 Kono-S 患者与之前接受传统侧侧吻合术和端端吻合术的 9 例患者相匹配。所有患者均接受微创外科手术。患者的人口统计学、术前用药和症状特征无显著差异。传统吻合术(TA)患者的住院时间更长(4.6 天 vs 2.9 天;p=0.03),但失血量、手术时间和病理发现无统计学差异。1 例 Kono-S 患者发生浅表手术部位感染,1 例 TA 患者术后 30 天内发生吻合口漏,需要再次手术。更多的 TA 患者在术后 30 天和 6 个月随访时出现术后症状(66.7% vs 33.3%;p=0.16 和 77.8% vs 25%;p=0.03)。
与传统吻合术相比,Kono-S 吻合术在小儿 CD 中似乎是安全的。
