The hostile abdomen dilemma: the safety of primary anastomosis in the presence of an intraoperative abscess in Crohn disease.
Inflammatory bowel diseases

The hostile abdomen dilemma: the safety of primary anastomosis in the presence of an intraoperative abscess in Crohn disease.

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.
