Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify factors that lead to poor wound healing in patients with perianal Crohn's disease after undergoing proctectomy, particularly in the context of biologic therapies.
- A review of 103 patient records revealed that 58.3% experienced wound healing failure at 6 months, and 39.8% at 12 months, with male gender being the only significant predictor of poor healing.
- The findings indicated that prior exposure to biologic therapies like infliximab and adalimumab was not linked to wound healing outcomes, while lower pre-operative C-reactive protein levels were associated with better healing at 6 months.
Purpose: Single port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) is a technique which is increasing in popularity. The benefit of SPLS in complex Crohn's disease (CD), which includes a significant cohort of young patients sometimes needing multiple operations, has not been comprehensively assessed. This study analyses our early experience with this technique.
