Abstract
Introduction

The aim of our study was to analyze the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for a no medical responding ileocolic Cohn's disease in a single center according to the presence of obesity.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was performed including all consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic resection for ileocecal Crohn's disease from November 2006 to November 2015. Patients were divided according to body mass index ≥30kg/m2 in order to study influence of obesity in the short-term outcomes. The following variables were studied: characteristics of patients, surgical technique and postoperative results (complications, reintervention, readmission and mortality) during first 30 postoperative days.

Results

A total of 100 patients were included (42 males) with a mean age of 39.7±15.2 years (range 18–83). The overall complication rate was 20% and only 3 patients had an anastomotic leak. Seven patients needed reoperation in the first 30 days postop (7%). The median postoperative length of hospitalization was 5.0 days. Operative time was significantly longer in patients with obesity (130 vs 165min, P=.007) but there were no significant differences among the postoperative results in patients with and without obesity.

Conclusions

This study confirmed that laparoscopic approach for ileocecal Cohn's disease is a safety and feasible technique in patients with obesity. In this last group of patients we only have to expect a longer operative time.

Resumen
Introducción

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar los resultados postoperatorios de la cirugía laparoscópica por enfermedad de Crohn ileocecal en un único centro, en relación con la presencia de obesidad en los pacientes.

Métodos

Estudio observacional y comparativo incluyendo a todos los pacientes consecutivos sometidos a cirugía electiva laparoscópica por enfermedad de Crohn ileocecal desde noviembre del 2006 hasta noviembre del 2015 en un único centro. Los pacientes se dividieron en 2 grupos con relación a si el índice de masa corporal fue inferior o no a 30kg/m2. Se estudiaron las características de los pacientes y de la técnica quirúrgica, y los resultados postoperatorios (complicaciones, reintervención, reingreso y mortalidad) durante los 30 días posteriores a la cirugía.

Resultados

Se incluyó a 100 pacientes (42 varones) con una edad media de 39,7 ± 15,2 años (rango 18-83). El porcentaje global de complicaciones fue del 20% y 3 pacientes tuvieron una dehiscencia de la anastomosis ileocólica. Siete pacientes requirieron reintervención en toda la serie (7%) y la estancia hospitalaria fue de 5 días. No hubo diferencias en los resultados entre ambos grupos pero los pacientes con obesidad requirieron un tiempo operatorio significativamente superior (130 vs 165 minutos, p=0,007).

Conclusiones

En nuestra experiencia, el abordaje laparoscópico en el tratamiento de la enfermedad de Crohn ileocecal es una técnica adecuada. La obesidad no es una contraindicación y no aumenta el número de complicaciones aunque prolonga significativamente el tiempo operatorio.
