P573 Simplified MARIA score does not predict long-term outcomes in Crohn’s disease patients undergoing modified side-to-side strictureplasty for extensive ileitis Open
Background Strictureplasty techniques were developed to limit the risk of short bowel syndrome in Crohn’s disease (CD) patients with affected small intestine. In the setting of extensive small bowel disease, long strictures might be treate…

Could Autoimmune Disease Contribute to the Abscopal Effect in Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma? Open
The abscopal effect is defined as regression of untreated metastases after a local treatment such as surgery or radiotherapy. Although this effect has been described in various tumors, it is very rare in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with…

P384 Long-term outcome and endoscopic healing rates following long modified side-to-side strictureplasties Open
Background: A long modified side-to-side isoperistaltic strictureplasty (SSIS) is an option in patients undergoing surgery for extensive stricturing Crohn's disease (CD) to avoid extensive small-bowel resections. The aim of this study was …

P258 Disease course and operative risk after diagnosis of ileal penetrating Crohn's disease: a cohort study Open
Background: Although penetrating complications are common in Crohn's disease (CD), little is known about the disease course and operative risk after diagnosis of small bowel penetrating CD complications. The aim is to study the disease cou…

Modified Side-To-Side Isoperistaltic Strictureplasty over the Ileocaecal Valve: An Alternative to Ileocaecal Resection in Extensive Terminal Ileal Crohn’s Disease Open
A modified long Michelassi strictureplasty appears to be safe in patients with extensive stricturing Crohn's ileitis. Significant mucosal and bowel wall healing is observed and suggests that clearance of microbial stasis may play a role in…
