Emergent Surgical Treatment Results of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: LOJ Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) represent a group of chronic gastrointestinal system disorders with an unknown aetiology in which environmental and genetic factors are involved [1]. Amongst patients with IBD, it was reported that approximately one-fifth of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and four-fifth of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) require surgical intervention. Surgery can be preferred in cases such as unresponsiveness to immunomodulatory drugs, poor compliance of patients, the presence of multifocal dysplasia, obstruction, stricture and megacolon [2]. In patients with IBD, surgery can be elective or emergency, depending on the condition of the patient [3]. Subtotal colectomy plus ileostomy is reportedly the fold standard method in cases requiring emergency surgery [4]. The aim of the present study was to retrospectively review and present 14 patients with IBD who underwent emergency surgery.
