Smoking and similar nicotine-product use after Crohn's surgery appears linked to higher rates of endoscopic recurrence, which may affect postoperative monitoring and secondary-prevention strategies. Patients using HNBT...
Postoperative endoscopic recurrence after ileocolic resection is an important risk for people with Crohn’s disease; this study links HNBT and possibly e-cigarette use to higher recurrence rates, which could affect...
Surgery remains an important treatment option for Crohn’s disease and may be considered earlier for some patients. Decisions about timing, technique, and perioperative care can affect long-term outcomes and recurrence...
The study highlights factors linked to needing another operation after ileocecal resection for Crohn’s disease and suggests postoperative biologic therapy may lower long-term reoperation risk. That directly affects...
Granulomas are a classic histologic feature of Crohn’s disease, so patients and clinicians may wonder whether their presence predicts worse disease or different treatment needs. This review shows existing studies are...
Postoperative recurrence after ileal resection is common in Crohn’s disease; understanding microbial changes linked to recurrence could help explain mechanisms and guide future biomarker development.
Intestinal fibrosis causes strictures that can lead to obstruction and often require surgery; current drugs mainly reduce inflammation and do not reliably prevent or reverse fibrosis. Advances in understanding fibrosis...
After bowel resection, Crohn’s often returns quietly at the surgical join (anastomosis). Early, planned monitoring can detect inflammation before symptoms appear and help prevent symptomatic recurrence or repeat surgery.
