Abstract
BACKGROUND Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis has become the standard procedure for patients with medically refractory ulcerative colitis, although a subset will develop de novo Crohn's disease. OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated the association of preoperative C-reactive protein levels with the development of de novo Crohn's disease after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. DESIGN A prospectively maintained database of patients undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis was reviewed. PATIENTS Preoperative C-reactive protein levels were compared between patients who developed de novo Crohn's disease and those who did not. De novo Crohn's disease was defined as small-bowel inflammation proximal to the ileal pouch or perianal disease identified more than 3 months after ileostomy closure. To minimize the heterogeneity of the timing of preoperative C-reactive protein measurement and the severity of ulcerative colitis, only hospitalized patients who had proctocolectomy for severe ulcerative colitis were included in the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Development of de novo Crohn's disease was analyzed. RESULTS Of 105 patients, 23 (22%) developed de novo Crohn's disease. Having C-reactive protein in the third tertile significantly increased the risk of developing de novo Crohn's disease (HR 3.44, 95% CI 1.10- 10.70, p = 0.03) compared to in the first tertile. In a multivariable model, a C-reactive protein in the third or second tertile vs the first tertile and younger age was associated with the development of de novo Crohn's disease. LIMITATIONS Limited to only hospitalized patients with severe ulcerative colitis. CONCLUSIONS In hospitalized patients undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for medically refractory ulcerative colitis, higher preoperative C-reactive protein levels appear to increase the risk of developing de novo Crohn's disease.

La enfermedad de Crohn de novo se definió como una inflamación del intestino delgado proximal a la bolsa ileal o una enfermedad perianal identificada más de 3 meses después del cierre de la ileostomía. Para minimizar la heterogeneidad del momento de la medición de la proteína C reactiva preoperatoria y la gravedad de la colitis ulcerativa, solo se incluyeron en el estudio los pacientes hospitalizados que se sometieron a una proctocolectomía por colitis ulcerativa grave.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:se analizó el desarrollo de la enfermedad de Crohn de novo.RESULTADOS:De 105 pacientes, 23 (22%) desarrollaron enfermedad de Crohn de novo. Tener una proteína C reactiva en el tercer tercil aumentó significativamente el riesgo de desarrollar la enfermedad de Crohn de novo (HR 3,44, IC del 95%: 1,10-10,70, p = 0,03) en comparación con el primer tercil. En un modelo multivariable, una proteína C reactiva en el tercer o segundo tercil frente al primer tercil y una edad más joven se asoció con el desarrollo de la enfermedad de Crohn de novo.LIMITACIONES:Limitado solo a pacientes hospitalizados con colitis ulcerativa grave.CONCLUSIONES:En pacientes hospitalizados sometidos a anastomosis bolsa ileal-anal por colitis ulcerativa refractaria al tratamiento médico, niveles más elevados de proteína C reactiva preoperatoria parecen aumentar el riesgo de desarrollar enfermedad de Crohn de novo.

Abstract
Minimally invasive approaches to total abdominal colectomy (TAC) in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients include straight laparoscopy (SL), hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS), and robotics. In this study, short-term outcomes of patients undergoing SL and HALS TAC were compared. Prospectively collected data on UC patients undergoing TAC were tabulated. The study cohort included 36 (27%) patients in the SL group and 95 (73%) patients in the HALS group. The groups were comparable in terms of preoperative characteristics and demographics. The mean operative time was 151 (range, 73–225) minutes in the SL group versus 164 (range, 103–295) minutes in the HALS group ( P = 0.09). Total 48-hour IV morphine use was 30 (range, 0–186) mg in the SL group compared with 56 (0–275) mg in the HALS group ( P < 0.01). Although overall morbidity was comparable between the groups, Clavien-Dindo Class III complications did not occur in any of the SL group patients versus 11 (11%) of the HALS group patients ( P = 0.03). The postoperative length of stay was 3 (3–21) days in the SL group versus 5 (3–15) days in the HALS group ( P < 0.01). Compared with HALS, SL is associated with lower postoperative narcotic use and hospital length of stay in UC patients undergoing TAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transversus abdominis plane block may improve analgesia after colorectal surgery; however, techniques remain unstandardized and results are conflicting. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare laparoscopic and ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block with no block in minimally invasive colorectal surgery. DESIGN This was a randomized controlled trial. SETTINGS The study was conducted at an urban teaching hospital. PATIENTS Patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery were included. INTERVENTIONS The intervention included 2:2:1 randomization to laparoscopic, ultrasound-guided, or no transversus abdominis plane block. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Morphine use in the first 24 hours after surgery was measured. RESULTS The study cohort included 107 patients randomly assigned to laparoscopic (n = 41), ultrasound-guided (n = 45), or no transversus abdominis plane block (n = 21). Mean age was 50.4 years (SD ± 18 y), and 50 patients (47%) were men. Laparoscopic transversus abdominis plane block was superior to ultrasound-guided (p = 0.007) and no transversus abdominis plane block (p = 0.007), with median (interquartile range) total morphine used in the first 24 hours postoperatively of 17.6 mg (6.6-33.9 mg), 34.0 mg (16.4-44.4 mg), and 31.6 mg (18.4-44.4 mg). At 48 hours, laparoscopic transversus abdominis plane block remained superior to ultrasound-guided (p = 0.03) and no transversus abdominis plane block (p = 0.007) with median (interquartile range) total morphine used at 48 hours postoperatively of 26.8 mg (15.5-45.8 mg), 44.0 mg (27.6-70.0 mg), and 60.8 mg (34.8-78.8 mg). Mean hospital stay was 5.1 ± 3.1 days without any intergroup differences. Overall complications were similar between groups. LIMITATIONS Treatment teams were not blinded and there was operator dependence of techniques and variable timing of the blocks. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic transversus abdominis plane block is superior to ultrasound-guided and no transversus abdominis plane block in achieving pain control and minimizing opioid use in the first 24 hours after colorectal surgery. A large, multicenter, randomized trial is needed to confirm our findings. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A822.

Abstract
Early postoperative feeding is the standard of care after colorectal surgery and is associated with improved outcomes. A controlled study performed at our center demonstrated faster bowel function recovery and shorter hospital stay without an increase in postoperative morbidity for a solid versus clear-liquid diet on postoperative day (POD) 1 after colorectal surgery. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of these findings on the practice of diet advancement by board-certified general surgeons (GS) and colorectal surgeons (CRS) at an urban teaching hospital. Patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery were prospectively evaluated. Data were compared with that of a study cohort that underwent elective colorectal surgery reported in 2012. Early postoperative feeding in the more recent cohort statistically increased for all cases on POD 0 and POD 1. Diet advancement over time revealed significant changes in early feeding on POD 0 for patients operated on by CRS (0% vs 83%; P < 0.0001) but not GS (13% vs 13%; P = 1). Patients operated on by either CRS or GS and offered early feeding on POD 1 did not significantly differ between time periods. Despite well-documented evidence of the advantages of early feeding, GS, but not CRS, remain reluctant to administer early diets to patients after colorectal surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ustekinumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukins-12 and -23 is used to treat adults with Crohn's disease [CD]. We determined the 30-day postoperative infectious complication rate among CD patients who received ustekinumab within the 12 weeks prior to an abdominal operation as compared with patients who received anti-tumor necrosis factor [TNF] agents. METHODS A retrospective chart review of adults with CD who underwent an abdominal operation between January 1, 2015 and May 1, 2017 was performed across six sites. Surgical site infection [SSI] was defined as superficial skin and soft tissue infection, intra-abdominal abscess, anastomotic leak, and mucocutaneous separation of the stoma. RESULTS Forty-four patients received ustekinumab and 169 patients received anti-TNF therapy within the 12 weeks prior to surgery. The two groups were similar, except anti-TNF patients were more likely to have received combination therapy with an immunomodulator [P = 0.006]. There were no significant differences in postoperative SSI [13% in ustekinumab versus 20% in anti TNF-treated patients, p = 0.61] or hospital readmission rates [18% versus 10%, respectively, p = 0.14], but ustekinumab-treated patients had a higher rate of return to the operating room [16% versus 5%; P = 0.01]. There were no significant predictors identified on multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS Of the 44 patients with CD who received ustekinumab within the 12 weeks prior to a major abdominal operation, 13% experienced a 30-day postoperative SSI, not statistically different from the 20% found in the anti-TNF cohort. Ustekinumab treatment within 12 weeks of surgery does not appear to increase the risk of postoperative SSI above that of CD patients treated with anti-TNF medications.

Abstract
The majority of colorectal cancers (CRC) harbor somatic mutations and epigenetic modifications in the tumor tissue, and some of these mutations can be detected in plasma as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Precancerous colorectal lesions also contain many of these same mutations. This study examined plasma for ctDNA from patients undergoing a screening or diagnostic colonoscopy to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the ctDNA panel for detecting CRC and precancerous lesions. Two hundred patients without a history of nonskin cancer had blood drawn before a colonoscopy. Plasma ctDNA was measured with a 96 mutation panel for nine cancer driver genes. The ctDNA results were correlated with the findings at colonoscopy. Of the 200 patients, 176 (88%) had wild‐type DNA, 12 (6%) had mutations detected, and 12 (6%) had indeterminate results. Colonoscopy was normal in 80% of the patients and 20% were found to have polyps. No CRC was found in this study, precluding a determination of true‐positive rate for CRC detection. Our ctDNA panel was positive in 13.2% of patients with colonic polyps found at colonoscopy, while 4.7% of patients with normal colonoscopy also had ctDNA detected, which may represent ctDNA released from a benign process, an occult tumor, or an acquired somatic mutation from clonal hematopoiesis.
