Comparison of laparoscopic and open ileocecal resection for Crohn’s disease: a metaanalysis

Abstract: For selected patients with noncomplicated ileocecal Crohn's disease, laparoscopic resection offered substantial advantages in terms of more rapid resolution of postoperative ileus and shortened hospital stay. There was no increase in complications, as compared with open surgery. The contraindications to laparoscopic approaches for Crohn's disease remain undefined.

“…e most common indications for surgical resection are refractory disease despite medical therapy or side e ects of medication (steroid dependence) (15,252,253) . Recently, laparoscopic techniques in selected patients have been advantageous in terms of more rapid resolution of postoperative ileus and shortened hospital stay, without increased complications compared with open surgery (252,254,255) . Patients who have active luminal CD and fail to improve within 7 -10 days of intensive in-patient medical management should be considered to be potential surgical candidates.…”

“…The difference between open and laparoscopic resections was also 2 days in these analyses. 9,10,[29][30][31] This could be due to more severe abdominal trauma, more tissue damage, and prolonged intestinal paralysis in open surgery than that of laparoscopic surgery, which is often cited by other authors.…”
