Surgical and non-surgical risk factors affecting the insufficiency of ileocolic anastomosis after first-time surgery in Crohn's disease patients.

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) often necessitates surgical intervention, particularly when it manifests in the terminal ileum and ileocecal valve. Despite undergoing radical surgery, a subset of patients experiences recurrent inflammation at the anastomotic site, necessitating further medical attention.

Aim: To investigate the risk factors associated with anastomotic insufficiency following ileocecal resection in CD patients.

Minimally invasive treatment of postoperative fistulas, leakages, and perforations of the upper gastrointestinal tract: a single-center observational study.

Introduction: Most anastomotic leaks in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract can be treated with minimally invasive techniques dominated by endoluminal vacuum therapy (EVT) or stent implantation. Chronic leaks often require additional solutions, such as tissue adhesives or cellular growth stimulants.

Aim: To present a treatment strategy for postoperative leakage of upper GI anastomoses with noninvasive procedures.
