Key Concepts
- Despite significant advances in medical management, surgery for Crohn’s disease remains a vital component of many treatment paradigms.
- Optimal timing of surgery is critical in order to achieve the best outcome.
- Preoperative patient optimization is of critical importance.
- The surgeon treating Crohn’s disease should be familiar with bowel-sparing principles and properly apply them while not compromising long-lasting remissions.
- Different anastomotic configurations should be considered based on severity and location of the disease.
- For all the abovementioned aspects, Crohn’s disease requires a multidisciplinary approach to achieve optimal and lasting outcomes.
- Risk stratification should guide postoperative medical management.
