Microscopic inflammation in ileocecal specimen does not correspond to a higher anastomotic leakage rate after ileocecal resection in Crohn's disease.

<h4>Background</h4>Patients with Crohn's disease suffer from a higher rate of anastomotic leakages after ileocecal resection than patients without Crohn's disease. Our hypothesis was that microscopic inflammation at the resection margins of ileocecal resections in Crohn's...

Our hypothesis was that microscopic inflammation at the resection margins of ileocecal resections in Crohn's disease increases the rate of anastomotic leakages.<h4>Patients and methods</h4>In a retrospective cohort study, 130 patients with Crohn's disease that underwent ileocecal resection between 2015 and 2019, were analyzed. Anastomotic leakage was the primary outcome parameter. Inflammation at the resection margin was characterized as "inflammation at proximal resection margin", "inflammation at distal resection margin" or "inflammation at both ends".<h4>Results</h4>46 patients (35.4%) showed microscopic inflammation at the resection margins. 17 patients (13.1%) developed anastomotic leakage. No difference in the rate of anastomotic leakages was found for proximally affected resection margins (no anastomotic leakage vs. anastomotic leakage: 20.3 vs. 35.3%, p = 0.17), distally affected resection margins (2.7 vs. 5.9%, p = 0.47) or inflammation at both ends (9.7 vs. 11.8%, p = 0.80). No effect on the anastomotic leakage rate was found for preoperative hemoglobin concentration (no anastomotic leakage vs. anastomotic leakage: 12.3 vs. 13.5 g/dl, p = 0.26), perioperative immunosuppressive medication (62.8 vs. 52.9%, p = 0.30), BMI (21.8 vs. 22.4 m2/kg, p = 0.82), emergency operation (21.2 vs. 11.8%, p = 0.29), laparoscopic vs. open procedure (p = 0.58), diverting ileostomy (31.9 vs. 57.1%, p = 0.35) or the level of surgical training (staff surgeon: 80.5 vs. 76.5%, p = 0.45).<h4>Conclusion</h4>Microscopic inflammation at the resection margins after ileocecal resection in Crohn's disease is common.
