Despite continuous development of therapeutical strategies, two thirds of patients suffering from CD need surgical intervention during their lives due to disease progression and complications. It is assumed that CD patients have increased pain experience in the perioperative setting compared to non-IBD patients, but clinical data are rare.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective single-centre analysis was performed including patients with Ileitis Crohn who underwent open or minimal-invasive (laparoscopic) ileocecal resection between 2017 and 2021. The cohort was compared to patients who received open or minimal-invasive sigmoid resection due to diverticulitis. A descriptive analysis and comparison of pre-existing conditions (e.g. laboratory values, depression, preoperative (co-)analgesics use), postoperative complications, postoperative pain and pain medication was carried out in both cohorts. A matched-pair analysis was performed to determine disease-related pain levels of patients with CD in comparison to non-IBD patients. Both a previously established analgesics and a validated pain scores were used to compare the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 310 patients, 182 non-IBD patients and 128 CD patients, were analysed. According to Clavien Dindo classification, there were significantly more postoperative complications in CD patients (&gt;\u20093a) compared to the non-IBD cohort (14.8% vs. 5.5%;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.005).

Furthermore, the duration of intake of high-potent opioids was significantly longer compared to non-IBD patients (2.4 vs. 1.2 [days];\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.038). These differences in postoperative pain management resulted in equal postoperative pain experience and sensation in patients suffering from Ileitis Crohn and diverticulitis as revealed by NRS scores.
