Question 10 – Colonic Crohn’s disease with dysplasia
Biopsies with dysplasia: Take out entire colon• Total colectomy (rectal sparing disease) or Total proctocolectomy
Why?• 14-40% of Crohn’s colitis patient’s who undergo segmental colorectal resection
develop metachronous colorectal cancer
• > 1/3 of specimens with “unifocal” dysplasia are found to have multifocal on final pathology

Question 10 – Colonic Crohn’s disease with dysplasia
If total proctocolectomy, why no IPAA?
Tend to avoid pouches in Crohn’s patients given higher long-term pouch failure rate
