About this study
Official title: Intraoperative Ultrasound of Small Bowel in the Study of the Characteristics of the Surgical Resection Margin in Crohn's Disease
To study the role of intraoperative ultrasound of small bowel as a possible tool that can reduce the rate of histologically involved resection margins from Crohn's Disease.
Read the detailed description
Patients with indication for resective surgery for Crohn's Disease will be enrolled and undergo to the planned surgery.
During surgery the site where to conduct the bowel resection will be decided according to the current indications in the literature and according to good clinical practice (absence of macroscopical signs of disease).
Before conducting the surgical resection, will be performed intraoperative ultrasonography of the small bowel at the intestinal segment chosen as the site of the resection.
Ultrasound features will be evaluated to determine whether or not there are any ultrasonographic signs ascribable to Crohn's Disease.
Once the above ultrasound has been completed (estimated time approximately 5-10 minutes), the predetermined resection will be conduct and the surgical piece will be sent for final histological examination as usual.
The outcome of intraoperative ultrasound will be schematized as positive or negative based on the presence or absence of specific ultrasound signs of intestinal inflammation attributable to Crohn's Disease.
The data will be collected and subsequently analyzed in order to compare the ultrasound findings acquired on the resection margins with the outcome of the histological examination conducted on the same site.
Patients will then enter a regular gastroenterological/surgical follow-up and undergo colonoscopy at 12 months after surgery as usual.
Data on clinical, surgical or endoscopic recurrence in the follow-up period will be collected and analyzed to compare the recurrence rate in the group of patients with intraoperative ultrasonographic features with the group without intraoperative ultrasonographic features on the resection margin.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intraoperative Small Bowel UltrasonographyDiagnostic test
An intraoperative ultrasound study will be performed on the intestinal segment identified as the resection site

|---|---|---|
| Patients with Crohn's disease with indication for surgery | Experimental | Not described Receives: Diagnostic Test: Intraoperative Small Bowel Ultrasonography |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Specificity and sensibility of intraoperative ultrasound of small bowel in identifying resection margins histologically involved by Crohn's disease
To compare the number of ultrasound-positive resection margins with the number of histologically positive resection margins. This comparison will be conducted using basic statistics to determine the specificity and sensitivity of intraoperative ultrasound of the small bowel in identifying resection margins histologically involved by Crohn's disease.
Measured: 10 minutes
