Identifies factors that may raise the chance of developing pouchitis after IPAA — useful for patients considering or recovering from proctocolectomy and for clinicians planning perioperative care or monitoring.
A reproducible large-animal colitis model could improve preclinical testing by better mimicking human gut anatomy and immune responses than rodent models. That may help translational research and therapy evaluation for...
A rare venous occlusive disease (IMHMV) can closely mimic steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis and may require surgery for diagnosis, so clinicians and patients should consider vascular causes when colitis is atypical...
Extraintestinal manifestations are common in IBD and can affect quality of life and clinical outcomes. A national consensus helps standardize recognition and multidisciplinary care, which may improve management for...
Dysplasia is the key premalignant change that raises colorectal cancer risk in people with colonic IBD. Better detection and clearer management pathways can reduce cancer risk and help patients avoid unnecessary surgery.
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.
People with Crohn’s disease who need a repeat ileocolic resection may wonder whether laparoscopic surgery is a good option. This study suggests laparoscopic attempts are often successful, and if conversion is needed...
This is relevant because a treatable infection (intestinal tuberculosis) can present like colorectal cancer or IBD and lead to emergency surgery. Recognizing it earlier could change management and avoid unnecessary...
Patients with Crohn's who develop intra-abdominal abscesses often face decisions about antibiotics, drainage, or surgery. Predictors like abscess size and imaging appearance may help estimate the chance of needing...
The review links specific therapies and surgical options to outcomes that matter to people with IBD — mucosal healing, lower hospitalizations, and reduced need for surgery — and highlights that combining medical and...
A structured ERP adapted for children could shorten hospital stays and improve recovery after pediatric GI surgery; this trial tested both clinical effectiveness and real-world implementation across many pediatric...
If you had biologic treatment before bowel surgery, this study suggests restarting the same class of biologic after ileocolonic resection may prevent postoperative recurrence as well as switching to a new class — and may...
Crohn's-like disease of the pouch is a meaningful complication after IPAA that can impair quality of life and risk pouch failure; knowing which drug classes show promise for specific pouch phenotypes can guide...
Intestinal fibrosis causes strictures and surgery in many people with Crohn's disease; new RNA-based antifibrotic strategies delivered by nanocarriers could offer non-surgical treatment options in the future if they can...
The study presents preclinical data that an orally delivered biotherapeutic (EPICERTIN) promotes epithelial repair and reduces inflammation in a UC-relevant mouse model — a potential step toward therapies that directly...
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...
This study addresses whether removing the appendix changes long-term UC outcomes. People with UC or their clinicians might expect surgery to alter disease course; these real-world data suggest it generally does not for...
This paper highlights the emotional and social aftermath of colectomy and J‑pouch surgery for people with ulcerative colitis, a topic that directly affects patients facing or living with these procedures.
A new Phase 2 trial is testing whether intravenous allogeneic HB-adMSCs can improve Crohn’s symptoms and intestinal inflammation. If effective and safe, the therapy could offer a different mechanism of treatment from...
Weight loss before or around colectomy/IPAA could affect surgical risk and recovery; this study tests an endoscopic, non‑surgical weight‑loss procedure specifically in people with ulcerative colitis who are planning...
A new investigational drug (BI 3032950) is being tested specifically for people with ulcerative colitis who did not do well on prior biologic or targeted treatments. If effective and safe, it could become another option...
This trial tested a rectal hydrocortisone formulation specifically for ulcerative proctitis, a form of ulcerative colitis limited to the rectum. If effective and safe, a local steroid suppository could offer targeted...
Bowel urgency is a common, distressing symptom in ulcerative colitis; a minimally invasive implant that reduces urgency could improve daily functioning and quality of life if proven effective and safe.
Surgical choices for ulcerative colitis—permanent ileostomy versus ileal pouch (IPAA)—lead to very different daily-life outcomes. Understanding risks and lifestyle tradeoffs and using shared decision-making helps...
Endoscopy comfort and sedation differ between pediatric and adult settings, and worse adult experiences could deter young adults from needed surveillance or care. Addressing sedation choice, communication, and provider...
If approved, a vedolizumab biosimilar could increase treatment options and competitive pricing for adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. The company already markets a natalizumab...
Surgical approach to creating an IPAA (j-pouch) affects timing and number of operations and recovery; trends toward more staged procedures may reflect increasing disease severity and preoperative treatment patterns that...
EEN is being evaluated as a non‑pharmacologic induction therapy in adults with active and complicated Crohn’s disease; results could inform whether EEN helps induce remission, improve nutrition, and impact inflammation...
This review summarizes evidence on robotic surgery for IBD, which could affect surgical choices and expectations about recovery and risks for patients needing colorectal or pelvic operations. It suggests robotic...
The appendix in conventional UC appears to be inflamed early and then remodels to fibrous obliteration over decades, which could influence thinking about timing or rationale for appendectomy-based interventions.
Surgery for IBD has become less common since modern biologic therapies, but a noticeable number of patients—especially with Crohn’s disease and poor nutrition—still progress to operations. Understanding who remains at...
