| Core Tip |
This study evaluated the incidence of anastomotic strictures after intestinal resection in Crohn's disease (CD), the long-term efficacy and safety of endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) in CD strictures and its impact on the diagnosis of subclinical postoperative endoscopic recurrence. Almost one-third of CD patients developed an anastomotic stricture after ileocecal resection/right hemicolectomy. EBD was an effective and safe alternative to surgery, with a good short and long-term outcome, postponing or even avoiding further surgery. EBD also allowed to diagnose disease recurrence in patients with no clinical signs/biomarkers of disease activity. Longer intervals after surgery and higher lactoferrin levels were associated with anastomotic strictures; time until dilation was lower in patients with calprotectin levels > 83.35 µg/g and current/past history of smoking. |
