Abstract:
Damage control surgery (DCS) has been widely used in the management of surgical patients. Crohn disease (CD) patients requiring surgery are usually severe and associated with high surgical risk, while the concept of DCS has not gained adequate attention in surgery for CD. Surgery is indicated in patients with CD to control symptoms, therefore major surgery should not be performed when the general health of the patients is not satisfactory. Use of DCS to guide surgery can reduce risk of treatment and improve clinical outcome The review is to discuss the necessity, objective, and methods of damage control surgery in the surgical treatment of Crohn disease.
