Surgical Management

of
Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Final year MBBS
Indications for surgery in Crohn's disease
1. Intractable disease
2.Fulminant disease
3. Toxic megacolon
4. Colonic perforation
5. Extracolonic disease
6. Colonic obstruction
7. Colon cancer
Surgery for crohn's
• surgery for CD is tecnically demanding as involved
mucosa is edematous and healing maybe impaired

• surgery is not the cure for CD, recrudescence is common.


The various Manifestations of CD:
• Ileocolitis
• Stricture formation
• Hollow viscus fistulae
• Anorectal disease
For Ileocolitis: ileocaecal/colonic resection

• Resection of diseased segments with primary


anastamosis between the free ends of ileum and
colon.
• Can be done Laproscopically or through Laprotomy
For strictures: strictureplasty or segmental resection may be
done
Heineke- Mikulicz strictureplasty

1. strictured length of intestine is incised along


its length
2. bowel is opened, its walls retracted
3. bowels resutred transversely to widen the
narrow segment.
Colectomy and ileorectal anastamosis:

• All parts of colon removed


• ileum anastamosed with rectum
• Done only when rectum is not
involved
Anal disese to be treated conservatively by drainage of
abscess and use of setons through fistulae to avoid
sphincter injury.
• A seton is a piece of surgical thread that's left in the
fistula for several weeks to keep it open.This
allows it to drain and helps it heal
• fistulotomy is avoided in CD as healing takes place
very slowly or not at all
Proctectomy and Proctocolectomy:
• proctectomy= surgical removal of the rectum
• for those with severe anal disease failing to respond to medical treatment.
• permanent ileostomy done
Indications for surgery in Ulcerative Colitis:
1. Small intestine
• stricture and obstruction
• unresponsiveness to medical therapy
• massive hemorrhage
• refractory fistula

2. Colon and rectum


• Intractable disease
• Fulminant disease: > 10 bowel movements daily, continous
bleeding,progressive colonic dilatation (toxic megacolon)
• cancer prophylaxis: high incidence of neoplastic changes in UC than
CD
surgery for Ulcerative colitis

Emergency: Fulminant disease


subtotal colectomy and end
ileostomy
• sigmoid colon left behind
Elective surgery indications:
• failure of medical therapy/ steroid dependence
• growth retardation in the young
• extraintestinal disease
• malignant change
Elective surgeries done:
• subtotal colectomy and end ileostomy
• proctocolectomy and end ileostomy
• restrorative proctocolectomy and ileoanal pouch
• subtotal colectomy and ileorectal anastamosis
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileoanal pouch:

• Removes the entire colon and rectum while preserving


the anal sphincter and, hence, normal bowel function and
fecal continence
• mucosectomy of upper anal canal may be done.
alternatively upper anal mucosa preserved and the pouch
is double stapled to the anal canal.
Ileoanal pouch
Ileum is folded, sewn or stapled to form a substitute rectum.
this is then sutured or stapled to the anal canal at the level of the dentate line.
complications of restorative proctocolectomy with ilioanal pouch:

• pouchitis
• pelvic infections
• reduced fertility and vaginal dryness in women:
denervation of secretory glands of vaginal mucosa.
