<p><strong>Background: </strong>Even in the biological era, permanent stoma is not uncommon in patients with Crohn's Disease.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of permanent stoma in Crohn's disease patients and provide clinical evidence for reducing this disabling outcome.</p><p><strong>Design: </strong>Consecutive patients with Crohn's disease who underwent ostomies in the past decade were reviewed.</p><p><strong>Settings: </strong>The study was conducted in a tertiary referral hospital.</p><p><strong>Patients: </strong>Four hundred fifty-seven patients with Crohn's disease were divided into temporary stoma and permanent stoma groups based on stoma reversal or not.

Our study showed that the independent risk factors for permanent stoma formation included female sex, previous operation for Crohn's disease, the presence of rectal disease, subtotal colectomy, and rectal resection.

<p><strong>Background: </strong>For patients with recurrent diverticulitis, the trigger to proceed to elective sigmoid colectomy is unclear. Current clinical practice guidelines suggest that this is an individualized decision between surgeon and patient.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To assess the long-term risk of diverticulitis recurrence and determine predictors of recurrent disease.</p><p><strong>Design: </strong>Retrospective case series.</p><p><strong>Setting: </strong>Tertiary care center.</p><p><strong>Patients: </strong>Consecutive patients with CT-proven diverticulitis who presented as inpatient or outpatient between 2002 and 2008.</p><p><strong>Interventions: </strong>Incidence of diverticulitis recurrence was determined via medical record review and questionnaire.</p><p><strong>Main outcome measures: </strong>Risk of recurrent diverticulitis or surgery for diverticulitis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 753 patients with first-time diverticulitis were identified. The patients had a mean age of 61.5 years (SD 15.3). The median follow-up was 13.2 years (interquartile range, 3.8-18.3). There were 486 patients (64.5%) alive at the time of follow-up. During the initial presentation, 29 patients (3.9%) required Interventional Radiology drainage and 37 (4.9%) required emergency surgery. Forty-three patients (5.7%) underwent elective surgery after the initial presentation and 77 (10.2%) underwent surgery after more than 1 episode. Of those who did not undergo surgery for the first episode, 353 (52.4%) experienced recurrent disease with a median time to recurrence of 2.9 years (interquartile range, 0.83-8.5 years). On multivariate analysis, female sex (HR 1.28, p = 0.04), sigmoid disease (HR 1.35, p = 0.03), smoldering disease (HR 3.17, p < 0.01), length of involved segment >5 cm (HR 1.28, p = 0.04), and maximum fat stranding diameter >1.8 cm (HR 1.29, p = 0.03) were associated with disease recurrence.
