Abstract:
Emergency and complications make bowel resection necessary for patients who suffer from Crohn's diseaes (CD) which is traditionally treated mainly by medical therapy. CD patients can obtain temporary relief after bowel resection. However, the high recurrence rate after surgery tends to result in repeated operations. Preoperative factors, the details of the surgery and postoperative medical treatment are considered to be related to postoperative recurrence. In this manuscript, progress on risk factors associated with postoperative recurrence in patients with Crohn's disease after bowel resection is summarized.
