Surgery is common in Crohn’s disease and different types of resections carry different short-term risks.
This is relevant because military aviators with Crohn’s disease have historically been excluded from waivers; policy changes could allow some stable patients to continue flying if objective evidence supports low...
This study identifies factors linked to permanent ileal pouch failure after surgery for ulcerative colitis and provides a nomogram to estimate individual risk — information that can affect surgical counseling and...
Avoidable unplanned hospital admissions are common and costly for people with IBD. This study suggests many such admissions stem from healthcare access and service delivery problems—not just disease severity—so system...
Pouch surgery is a key restorative option for people with ulcerative colitis, but pouchitis, chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis (CARP), pouch failure, and occasional reclassification to Crohn’s disease can cause...
The report suggests adding acupuncture to anti-TNF therapy may improve short-term symptom control and mucosal healing and reduce early colectomy risk for a TCM-defined subgroup of ulcerative colitis patients, which could...
Extrapulmonary TB can be triggered or revealed during immunosuppressive biologic therapy and may mimic other causes of liver injury; early recognition and TB-specific testing are important for timely treatment and to...
The findings suggest that over three decades more patients receive medical prevention after ileocolic resection — including thiopurines and biologics — and that rates of needing a second surgery have fallen. This matters...
People with Crohn’s disease and fibrotic ileocecal valve strictures sometimes face surgery when endoscopic access is blocked by polypoid tissue. A new endoscopic approach (ICVP) aims to remove obstructing tissue so...
Shows real-world long-term outcomes in a large Chinese UC cohort and highlights that baseline disease activity predicts need for escalation and colectomy risk; points to opportunities to improve treat-to-target care.
This case report describes successful use of vedolizumab to treat severe UC in a patient who also had PSC and SLE — a rare and complex combination. Patients and clinicians may find it relevant when considering biologic...
Endoscopy in this pediatric multicenter series found a high diagnostic yield and confirmed IBD and other treatable conditions; this matters for families and clinicians in resource-limited settings because improving...
Algorithms guide how UC is diagnosed and monitored (endoscopy, labs, fecal markers, imaging) and when to escalate to surgery or other interventions; that affects surveillance, treatment choices, and complication...
People with Crohn’s disease facing surgery may have varying risks of complications; better biomarkers and models could help tailor perioperative care and decision-making. The review signals active research toward more...
Based on the title and source metadata, this appears to be a case report related to Crohn's disease and Procedures and surgery. The original article is from Endoscopy.
People with IBD who’ve had organ transplants (or are concerned about infection risk from systemic immunosuppression) may be interested because vedolizumab’s gut‑selective action could be preferable after kidney...
A rectal 5-ASA gel that forms in place and sticks to the mucosa could reduce leakage and improve drug retention, potentially increasing effectiveness and patient comfort for people using topical therapies for ulcerative...
Surgical approach (open vs laparoscopic) affects recovery after ileocecal resection — shorter hospital stay and less bleeding with laparoscopy could matter for Crohn’s patients, especially where resources and access to...
Autoinjectors can make long-term biologic treatment easier, more convenient, and potentially improve adherence for people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis who use ustekinumab.
People with ulcerative colitis who have had colectomy can rarely develop inflammation of the small intestine and high-output stomas that are hard to control.
People with IBD who also have bleeding disorders face special risks during endoscopy, surgery, and when using immunosuppressive drugs. This case shows that coordinated care and hemostatic support can allow diagnosis and...
Endometriosis involving the intestine can mimic Crohn’s disease symptoms and lead to misdiagnosis or delayed correct treatment. Patients with IBD-like symptoms who are of reproductive age may need evaluation for bowel...
GI perforation is a serious, potentially life-threatening complication that can occur in people with autoimmune diseases; this report highlights that perforation can happen during corticosteroid tapering and that careful...
Patients with small-bowel strictures face repeat procedures or surgery; this study suggests endoscopic stricturotomy outcomes differ by whether the stricture is from Crohn’s disease and that a simple blood marker (NLR)...
The study identifies a potential biologic approach (macrophage-derived exosomes) that improved epithelial repair and barrier function in a mouse colitis model, which could inform future therapeutic research for IBD.
The work targets oxidative/nitrosative stress and mucosal repair—mechanisms important in IBD—using a novel delivery vehicle that pairs an approved anti-inflammatory drug with catalytic cerium ions. If translated, this...
The survey highlights wide variation in how rectal stumps are assessed and managed after colectomy in children with UC, indicating uncertainty and a gap in standardised care that could affect outcomes and follow-up...
The trial is testing risankizumab alone and in combination with investigational ABBV antibodies for moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis — findings could inform future treatment choices and...
Small-bowel Crohn's disease often causes strictures and fistulas and typically needs more imaging and procedural care than colonic disease, so patients and clinicians should be aware of its distinct risks and treatment...
Cure8 found this source from academic.oup.com, but the page could not be read reliably yet. It is tagged for Crohn's disease, Ileocecal Resection, and Procedures and surgery. Open the original article for the full...
