Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

800
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Coccidioidomycosis, or valley fever, is a multi-system illness caused by Coccidioides fungi.
  • Endemic to the desert Southwest US, Mexico, and parts of South America.
  • Infection spectrum ranges from asymptomatic to severe disseminated disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the history, microbiology, epidemiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of coccidioidomycosis.
  • To focus on surgical considerations in managing this fungal infection.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of English-language publications.

Main Results:

  • Five key indications for surgical intervention in coccidioidomycosis: tissue diagnosis, perforation, bleeding, organ impingement, and treatment failure.
  • Surgeons are integral to multidisciplinary teams managing severe or complicated cases.

Conclusions:

  • This review provides a comprehensive overview of coccidioidomycosis relevant to surgical practice.
  • Highlights the importance of surgical involvement in specific coccidioidomycosis scenarios.
