Ileocecal Resection

Postoperative intra-abdominal abscesses are a common, serious short-term complication after ileocecal surgery in children with Crohn’s disease and can lengthen hospital stay and delay restarting medical treatment.

Endoscopic scores guide detection and treatment of postoperative Crohn's recurrence; better scoring could change who gets earlier therapy and potentially prevent clinical or surgical relapse.

This review directly compares surgery-first versus biologic-first strategies for localized ileocaecal Crohn's disease and suggests early resection can lower later treatment needs and leave some patients off medication,...

Surgery is common in Crohn’s disease and timing may relate to disease severity and long-term outcomes. Understanding factors linked to early surgery helps patients and clinicians weigh risks and expectations after...

This trial could show whether intra-operative ultrasound can be used reliably to choose the proximal resection margin during ileocecal resection for terminal ileal Crohn’s disease—information that might affect surgical...

Surgical removal of the disease-affected ileocecal segment is common in Crohn’s disease; this study provides regional evidence that laparoscopic ICR can be safe and offers faster recovery compared with open surgery.

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...

If surgeons can safely perform a primary bowel reconnection when they encounter an intra-abdominal abscess during Crohn surgery, some patients may avoid a temporary stoma and its associated morbidity.

Surgery is common in Crohn’s disease and different types of resections carry different short-term risks.

Noninvasive tests at 3 months after ileocecal resection (ultrasound + fecal calprotectin) may identify patients at high risk of endoscopic recurrence by 6 months. That could help avoid or target postoperative endoscopy...

Reducing long-term corticosteroid use matters because steroids have significant side effects when used repeatedly or chronically. The study suggests ileocaecal resection may lower steroid exposure for many patients, but...
