- SMALL BOWEL IS LARGELY AFFECTED IN BEHÇET’S DISEASE: A LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP OF GASTROINTESTINAL SYMPTOMS(2022) FACANALI, Carolina Bortolozzo Graciolli; FACANALI JUNIOR, Marcio Roberto; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Ulysses; QUEIROZ, Natalia Sousa Freitas; SOBRADO JUNIOR, Carlos Walter; SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana VazABSTRACT Background Behçet’s disease is a rare immune-mediated disorder that can affect the gastrointestinal tract. The prevalence and extension of small bowel involvement is largely unknown. Objective The aim of this study was to describe the small bowel lesions diagnosed by double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) and to verify if these findings were associated to the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms and disease activity after long-term follow-up. Methods This study included 19 Behçet’s disease patients who underwent DBE. After a mean follow-up of 15 years the endoscopic findings were associated to the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms, disease activity and current therapy through collection of electronic medical records. Results A total of 63.2% patients were female and the mean age was 37 years at the time of DBE. Mean disease duration at baseline was 24 years. 11 patients had no gastrointestinal symptoms and eight patients presented either abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding or diarrhea. The average procedure time was 1 hour and 30 minutes and the ileum was achieved in all patients but one. Small bowel ulcers were diagnosed in 78.9%, with 63.1% of jejunal involvement. Two patients presented only small bowel edema and two were normal by DBE. Eight patients had concomitant gastric ulcers. Gastrointestinal symptoms prior to DBE were present in 36.8% of the patients and, after follow-up, all of them persisted with some of the symptoms. Bleeding was reported by three patients at baseline and persisted in only one patient. The frequency of treatment with steroids and immunomodulators was 31.6% and 57.9% at baseline, respectively, and 21% in both at the end of the follow-up. No patient was treated with biologics at the time of the DBE procedure and the current rate of biologic use is 21%. Conclusion Small bowel involvement in Behçet’s disease was frequently demonstrated by DBE even in asymptomatic patients. Understanding clinical evolution of the disease over the years and the impact of such diagnosis still represents a challenge, possibly with the need for novel treatment.
- SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF ADULT CROHN’S DISEASE AND ULCERATIVE COLITIS PATIENTS: A CONSENSUS FROM THE BRAZILIAN ORGANIZATION OF CROHN’S DISEASE AND COLITIS (GEDIIB)(2022) ZABOT, Gilmara Pandolfo; CASSOL, Ornella Sari; QUARESMA, Abel Botelho; GONÇALVES FILHO, Francisco de Assis; BAIMA, Júlio Pinheiro; IMBRIZI, Marcello; ROLIM, Alexandre de Sá; CARMO, Alexandre Medeiros do; ALVES JUNIOR, Antonio Jose Tiburcio; SANTOS, Carlos Henrique Marques dos; SOBRADO JUNIOR, Carlos Walter; MIRANDA, Eron Fábio; ALBUQUERQUE, Idblan Carvalho de; SOUZA, Mardem Machado de; KAISER JUNIOR, Roberto Luiz; PARRA, Rogerio Serafim; KOTZE, Paulo Gustavo; SAAD-HOSSNE, RogérioABSTRACT Background: Despite optimized medical therapy, contemporary risk of surgery in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) after 10 years of diagnosis is 9.2% in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 26.2% in Crohn’s disease, (CD) in the biological era. Objective: This consensus aims to detail guidance to the most appropriate surgical procedures in different IBD scenarios. In addition, it details surgical indications and perioperative management of adult patients with CD and UC. Methods: Our consensus was developed by colorectal surgeons and gastroenterologists representing the Brazilian Study Group of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (GEDIIB), with the Rapid Review methodology being conducted to support the recommendations/statements. Surgical recommendations were structured and mapped according to the disease phenotypes, surgical indications, and techniques. After structuring the recommendations/statements, the modified Delphi Panel methodology was used to conduct the voting by experts in IBD surgery and gastroenterology. This consisted of three rounds: two using a personalized and anonymous online voting platform and one face-to-face presential meeting. Whenever participants did not agree with specific statements or recommendations, an option to outline possible reasons was offered to enable free-text responses and provide the opportunity for the experts to elaborate or explain disagreement. The consensus of recommendations/statements in each round was considered to have been reached if there was ≥80% agreement. Results and conclusion: This consensus addressed the most relevant information to guide the decision-making process for adequate surgical management of CD and UC. It synthesizes recommendations developed from evidence-based statements and state-of-art knowledge. Surgical recommendations were structured and mapped according to the different disease phenotypes, indications for surgery and perioperative management. Specific focus of our consensus was given to elective and emergency surgical procedures, determining when to indicate surgery and which procedures may be the more appropriate. The consensus is targeted to gastroenterologists and surgeons interested in the treatment and management of adult patients with CD or UC and supports decision-making of healthcare payors, institutional leaders, and/or administrators.
