Study Summary

This study proposes a randomized prospective study comparing the Kono-S anastomosis to the standard side-to-side anastomosis.This will be a multi-center randomized prospective trial. Patients with Crohn's ileitis or Crohn's ileocolitis requiring resection will be randomized to undergo either the Kono-S anastomosis or the side-to-side functional end anastomosis.

Primary Outcome

Endoscopic remission with a modified Rutgeerts score between 3 and 6 months in order to determine if the Kono-S procedure is more likely to prevent post-operative recurrence of Crohn's disease compared with the side-to-side functional end anastomosis. Endoscopic remission is defined as a modified Rutgeerts score of 0, 1, or 2a at 3-to-6 months post-procedure colonoscopy.
