    Abstract Purpose of review: Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), characterized by acute or subacute onset, severe weakness, and elevated creatine kinase levels, poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This article provides a succinct overview of IMNM, including clinical features, diagnostic strategies, and treatment approaches.
    Recent findings: Recent insights highlight the different clinical presentations and therapeutic options of IMNM stratified by autoantibody positivity and type. Additionally, recent findings call into question the reported link between statin use and IMNM. This review synthesizes current knowledge on IMNM, emphasizing its distinct clinical features and challenging management. The evolving understanding of IMNM underscores the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach that utilizes a growing range of modalities. Early and aggressive immunomodulatory therapy remains pivotal. Ongoing research aims to refine diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions for this challenging muscle disorder, underscoring the importance of advancing our understanding to enhance patient outcomes.

    Abstract Crohn's disease (CD) is a pan-intestinal disease of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by inflammatory, penetrating, and fibrostenotic phenotypes. Fibrostenotic stricture formation, without inflammatory or penetrating disease, is a common complication in CD, primarily affecting the small intestine and leading to small bowel obstruction. Because there is no medical therapy that prevents or reverses stricturing disease, endoscopic and surgical treatments are the mainstays of treatment, indicated to palliate symptoms and treat the complications. Endoscopic approaches include dilation, stricturotomy, and endoscopic stenting. Surgical options include resection, intestinal bypass, and various strictureplasty techniques. In this article, we will focus on the treatment of stricturing CD: specifically, the considerations important in choosing between different treatment options and technical tips to deal with complicated disease.

    Abstract Objective: We report on a new side-to-side isoperistaltic strictureplasty (SSIS), the Michelassi II or end-to-side-to-side-to-end strictureplasty, performed with discontinuous bowel loops.
    Summary background data: The SSIS Michelassi strictureplasty was described a quarter of a century ago to avoid massive bowel resections in patients with extensive fibrostenosing Crohn's jejuno-ileitis.
    Methods: The end-to-side-to-side-to-end strictureplasty is performed in patients presenting with 3 severely fibrotic and deformed bowel loops separated by 2 diseased segments with sequential strictures. After the resection of the 3 severely diseased segments, the remaining 2 discontinuous segments are used to perform a SSIS, according to the original description. The 2 ends of the SSIS are then anastomosed with the proximal and the distal bowel, respectively. In the presence of discrepancy in length between the 2 discontinuous segments, the proximal small bowel is recruited to equalize the length and aid in the performance of the SSIS.
    Conclusions: The Michelassi II, or the end-to-side-to-side-to-end strictureplasty, is a variant of the original SSIS technique to address severe and extensive small bowel Crohn's disease presenting with 3 severely fibrotic and deformed bowel loops separated by 2 diseased segments with sequential strictures.

    Abstract: ... eight procedures were performed in 427 patients [F:M 1:1; median age = 41 (12-95) yrs ...

    Abstract Objective: To identify preoperative characteristics to help in selecting laparoscopy or laparotomy in Crohn disease (CD).
    Summary background: Laparoscopy in CD is associated with high rates of conversion.
    Methods: All patients undergoing abdominal surgery for CD in 2004 to 2016 by the senior author. Patients operated by laparoscopy, laparotomy, and converted to open were compared.
    Results: Four hundred fifty-eight procedures were performed in 427 patients [F:M 1:1; median age = 41 (12-95) yrs], through laparotomy (n = 157, 34%) or laparoscopy (n = 301, 66%). Laparotomy rates decreased over time. Concomitant surgical procedures requiring laparotomy continued to dictate an open approach throughout the study. Sixty-five cases (21.6%) required conversion to laparotomy which occurred within 15' from start of case in 77%. Most common reasons for conversion included dense adhesions (34%), pelvic sepsis with fistulizing disease (26%), large inflammatory mass (18%), and thickened mesentery (9%). After multivariate analysis, predictive factors for conversion included recurrent disease after previous small bowel resection, thickened mesentery, large inflammatory mass, and extensive disease.
    Conclusion: Despite the increasing experience with laparoscopy in CD, one-fifth of selected cases still need conversion. Recurrent disease with dense adhesions, pelvic sepsis with fistulizing disease, large inflammatory mass, and thickened mesentery are all conditions predisposing to a conversion. When the severity of these conditions is known preoperatively or a simultaneous procedure requires a laparotomy, an open approach should be considered; if laparoscopy is selected, conversion to laparotomy can be decided early in the performance of the case.
