Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RESEARCH QUESTION Are handsewn (end to end and Kono S side to side) anastomoses superior to side to side stapled anastomosis after ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease with respect to endoscopic recurrence, gastrointestinal function and costs.

HYPOTHESIS Stapled side anastomosis advised in ECCO guidelines heal with ulcerations on the staple line causing systematic over scoring of endoscopic recurrence leading to unjustified restarting of expensive drugs reducing QOL and increasing costs. Side to side saccular configuration causes stasis affecting recurrence and dysfunction.

DESIGN Randomised superiority study

POPULATION Patients with Crohn requiring (re)resection of the (neo)terminal ileum

INTERVENTION Kono S and end to end hand sewn anastomosis

USUAL CARE Side to side stapled anastomosis

OUTCOME Endoscopic recurrence (local and central reading) at 6 months

SAMPLE 25% reduction in 2:1 ratio -\> 126 + 63 = 189 patients

KEYWORDS Crohn, ileocolic resection, recurrence
