A

5% risk of colon cancer at 10 years; risk increases 1% per year

32
Q

What are indications for surgery in Crohn’s disease?

A

Obstruction, massive bleeding, fistula, perforation, suspicion for cancer, abscess (refractory to antibiotics), toxic megacolon (refractory to meds), strictures, dysplasia

33
Q

What are indications for surgery in UC?

A

36
Q

43
Q

Which disease has cobblestoning more often on endoscopic exam: Crohn’s or UC?

A

Crohn’s disease

44
Q

Which disease has pseudopolyps on colonoscopic exam?

A

UC

45
Q

What are pseudopolyps?

A

Polyps of hypertrophied mucosa surrounded by mucosal atrophy

46
Q

Which disease has a lead pipe appearance on barium enema?

A

Chronic UC

47
Q

What is the most common indication for surgery in patients with Crohn’s disease?

A

SBO

48
Q

What are the intraoperative findings of Crohn’s disease?

A

Mesenteric “fat-creeping” onto anti-mesenteric border of small bowel, shortened mesentery, thick bowel wall, fistulae, abscesses

49
Q

Why do you see fistulae and abscesses with Crohn’s disease and not UC?

A

Crohn’s is transmural

50
Q

What is the operation for short strictures of the small bowel in Crohn’s disease?

A

Stricturoplasty: open longitudinally and sew closed in transverse direction

51
Q

Should the appendix be removed during a laparotomy for abdominal pain if Crohn’s disease is discovered?

A

Yes, if the cecum is not involved with active Crohn’s disease

52
Q

What is pouchitis?

A

Inflammation of the pouch of an ileoanal pull through, treated with metronidazole

53
Q

Do you need a frozen section for margins during a bowel resection for Crohn’s disease?
