Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery is established for various intestinal conditions.
  • Its application in inflammatory bowel disease, specifically Crohn's disease, is less documented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopically assisted ileocolectomy in Crohn's disease patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing laparoscopically assisted ileocolectomy for Crohn's disease.
  • Assessment of operative outcomes and postoperative complications.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopically assisted ileocolectomy was successfully performed in patients with Crohn's disease.
  • The procedure was associated with low morbidity rates.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopically assisted ileocolectomy is a feasible surgical approach for Crohn's disease.
  • This minimally invasive technique offers a safe option with low complication rates.
