[Colorectal localization in Crohn's disease--diagnostics and surgical treatment]

During the last years there is an increase in the number of cases with Crohn's disease. According to different statistic data the localizations are arranged as follows depending on the frequency of occurrence: ileocolic segment localization is the first--41%, followed by colorectal localization--30% and small intestinal one--29%. For a period of five years 12 patients with Crohn's disease, including 7 women and 5 men, were treated in the clinic. Regarding the localization the cases were as follows: 7 in the sigma-rectum transition area, 4 in the cecal area and 1 in the rectal area. All patient were operated and they were in a serious acute form of the disease. The operative intervention, which were made, differed in number: Hartman resection of the sigma--4, sigma resection with primary anastomosis--2; left hemicolectomy--1, right hemicolectomy--3, ileotransverzoanastomosis--1, resectio recti anterior--1. The final diagnosis was given after histological examination.
