  abstract  = {Introduction: The rates of postoperative recurrence following ileocecal resection due to Crohn's disease remain highly relevant. Despite this fact, while the Kono-S anastomosis technique initially demonstrated promising results, robust evidence is still lacking. This study aimed to analyze the short- and long-term outcomes of the Kono-S versus side-to-side anastomosis. Methods: A retrospective single-center study was performed including all patients who received an ileocecal resection between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2021 at the Department of Surgery at the University Hospital of Wuerzburg. Patients who underwent conventional a side-to-side anastomosis were compared to those who received a Kono-S anastomosis. The short- and long-term outcomes were analyzed for all patients. Results: Here, 29 patients who underwent a conventional side-to-side anastomosis and 22 patients who underwent a Kono-S anastomosis were included. No differences were observed regarding short-term postoperative outcomes. The disease recurrence rate postoperatively was numerically lower following the Kono-S anastomosis (median Rutgeert score of 1.7 versus 2.5), with a relevantly increased rate of patients in remission (17.2\% versus 31.8\%); however, neither of these results reached statistical significance. Conclusion: The Kono-S anastomosis method is safe and feasible and potentially decreases the severity of postoperative disease remission.},

  abstract  = {Aims To survey the perceived indications for magnetic resonance imaging of the small bowel (MRE) by experts, when MR enteroclysis (MREc) or MR enterography (MREg) may be chosen, and to determine how the approach to MRE is modified when general anaesthesia (GA) is required. Materials and methods Selected opinion leaders in MRE completed a questionnaire that included clinical indications (MREg or MREc), specifics regarding administration of enteral contrast, and how the technique is altered to accommodate GA. Results Fourteen responded. Only the diagnosis and follow-up of Crohn's disease were considered by over 80 \% as a valid MRE indication. The remaining indications ranged between 35.7 \% for diagnosis of caeliac disease and unknown sources of gastrointestinal bleeding to 78.6 \% for motility disorders. The majority chose MREg over MREc for all indications (from 100 \% for follow-up of caeliac disease to 57.7 \% for tumour diagnosis). Fifty per cent of responders had needed to consider MRE under GA. The most commonly recommended procedural change was MRI without enteral distention. Three had experience with intubation under GA (MREc modification). Conclusion Views were variable. Requests for MRE under GA are not uncommon. Presently most opinion leaders suggest standard abdominal MRI when GA is required.},
