Plastias de estenoses de intestino delgado na doença de Crohn: resultados imediatos e tardios Crohnâs disease small bowel strictureplasties: early and late results
RACIONAL: As enteroplastias constituem alternativa cirĂșrgica no tratamento da estenose da doença de Crohn. OBJETIVO: Analisar, retrospectivamente, a evolução precoce e tardia do tratamento cirĂșrgico das estenoses do intestino delgado, segmento ileocecal ou anastomose ileocĂłlica secundĂĄria Ă doença de Crohn, com emprego de plastias intestinais. MĂTODOS: Foram estudados 28 doentes, operados entre setembro de 1991 e maio de 2004, com seguimento mĂ©dio pĂłs-operatĂłrio de 58,1 meses. Dezesseis (57,1%) eram do sexo masculino, com mĂ©dia etĂĄria de 33,3 anos, e 13 doentes (46,4%) apresentavam ressecçÔes intestinais prĂ©vias. Foram realizadas 116 plastias, sendo 94 (81%) Ă Heineke-Mikulicz, 15 (13%) do tipo Finney e 7 (6%) ileocoloplastias lĂĄtero-laterais. Em 18 doentes (64,3%) realizaram-se ressecçÔes intestinais concomitantes. RESULTADOS: Verificaram-se 14 complicaçÔes em 7 doentes (25%) e um Ăłbito (3,6%), secundĂĄrio a complicaçÔes pulmonares apĂłs reoperaçÔes por sangramento intestinal da anastomose ĂȘntero-entĂ©rica. Ocorreram duas complicaçÔes gerais (14,3%), em dois doentes (7,1%) e oito complicaçÔes locais precoces (57,1%), em sete doentes (25%), sendo a mais freqĂŒente deiscĂȘncia de plastia, em trĂȘs casos (10,7%). ComplicaçÔes locais tardias ocorreram em dois doentes (7,1%), ambos com hĂ©rnia incisional e fĂstula ĂȘntero-cutĂąnea. Recidiva sintomĂĄtica da estenose ocorreu em 17 doentes (63%) e 2 deles (7,4%), apresentaram fĂstulas ĂȘntero-cutĂąneas, sendo o Ăndice de reoperação de 40,7%. Observaram-se quatro recidivas (3,5%), em trĂȘs doentes (11,1%) em local de plastia prĂ©via, sendo mais comum no tipo Finney (20%). CONCLUSĂO: As plastias apresentaram baixos Ăndices de complicaçÔes e propiciam alĂvio dos sintomas. Uma vez que muitos doentes com doença de Crohn necessitarĂŁo de vĂĄrias cirurgias ao longo da vida, as plastias intestinais constituem alternativas eficazes, com resolução dos sintomas obstrutivos, evitando-se ressecçÔes intestinais extensas e suas conseqĂŒĂȘncias.<br>BACKGROUND: Strictureplasty is an alternative surgical procedure for Crohnâs disease, particulary in patients with previous resections or many intestinal stenosis. AIM: To analyze surgical complications and clinical follow-up in patients submitted to strictureplasty secondary to Crohnâs disease. METHODS: Twenty-eight patients (57.1% male, mean age 33.3 years, range 16-54 years) with Crohnâs disease and intestinal stenosis (small bowel, ileocecal region and ileocolic anastomosis) were submitted to strictureplasty, at one institution, between September 1991 and May 2004. Thirteen patients had previous intestinal resections. The mean follow-up was 58.1 months. A total of 116 strictureplasties were done (94 Heineke-Mikulicz - 81%, 15 Finney - 13%, seven side-to-side ileocolic strictureplasty - 6%). Three patients were submitted to strictureplasty at two different surgical procedures and two in three procedures. RESULTS: Regarding to strictureplasty, postoperative complication rate was 25% and mortality was 3.6%. Early local complication rate was 57.1%, with three suture leaks (10.7%) and late complication was present in two patients, both with incisional hernial and enterocutaneous fistulas (28.6%). Patients remained hospitalized during a medium time of 12.4 days. Clinical and surgical recurrence rates were 63% and 41%, respectively. Among the patients submitted to another surgery, two patients had two more operations and one had three. Recurrence rate at strictureplasty site was observed in 3.5%, being Finney technique the commonest one. Presently, 19 patients had been asymptomatic with the majority of them under medical therapy. CONCLUSION: Strictureplasties have low complication rates, in spite of having been done at compromised site, with long term pain relief. Considering the clinical course of Crohnâs disease, with many patients being submitted to intestinal resections, strictureplasties should be considered as an effective surgical treatment to spare long intestinal resections
