Abstract Purpose The most frequent long-term complication after ileocecal resection in Crohn’s disease is anastomotic recurrence and subsequent stenosis. Recurrence typically begins at the site of the anastomosis, raising the question of whether the surgical technique of the anastomosis could affect recurrence rates. Kono-S anastomosis is a hand-sewn antimesenteric functional end-to-end anastomosis that offers a wide lumen that is well accessible for endoscopic dilatation. The purpose of our study is to review the rate of postoperative complications almost 2 years after the introduction of this technique. Materials and methods This is a prospective single-center cohort study of all consecutive patients with Crohn’s disease undergoing ileocecal resection. Patients’ characteristics as well as specific data for the surgical procedure and short-term outcome were evaluated. Results Thirty patients were operated for Crohn’s disease of the terminal ileum (n = 24) or anastomotic recurrence (n = 6). Postoperative complications with a Clavien-Dindo Score ≥ IIIb were observed in three patients. One patient showed a hemorrhage and underwent surgical hemostasis. Two patients developed anastomotic leakage; in both cases, ileostomy was created after resection of the anastomosis. The median hospital stay was 9 days (IQR 7–12). A comparison with a historic group of conventionally operated patients of our hospital revealed no differences in short-term results except for the duration of surgery. Conclusion The Kono-S anastomosis is associated with acceptable short-term results, complications, and recurrence rates comparable with the established anastomotic techniques. Longer operation times are observed, but the few published studies concerning long-term recurrence are promising.

Lay Summary Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory condition of the intestine with an unknown cause and can result in inflammation, narrowing (stricuture) or penetrating disease (fistula that inflammation goes through the wall of the bowel and into another structure). Unfortunately Crohn’s disease can affect anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, all the way from the mouth to the anus. Sometimes Crohn’s disease can affect the duodenum, the portion of the small intestine just after the stomach. When Crohn’s disease is in the duodenum and causes narrowing, it is difficult to treat medically, and often needs a surgical intervention. When the narrowing is short, less than a few centimeters, the surgeon can do a strictureplasty which means opening the intestine across the stricture and sewing it back shut in the horitzontal direction to make the opening larger. When the narrowing, or stricture, is longer, then the surgeon may have to connect the stomach to another part of the small intestine (gastrojejunostomy) to avoid or bypass the duodenum, or may have to perform a large reconstructive operation to remove that portion of the small intestine. the challenge is that those operations have significant potential complications associated with them. Therefore, sometimes a bypass operation can be done instead to connect the duodenum to the next part of the small intestine, the jejunum. In this manuscript the authors describe this surgical technique is a 38 year old male with Crohn’s disease who was referred with multiple areas of narrowing in his intestine.
