Abstract
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic transmural inflammatory disease of the entire gastrointestinal tract. Surgical treatment has a place in the treatment of this condition when complications or failure of medical treatment have occurred. Complications of CD include bowel obstruction, intestinal perforation, abscesses or fistulas, hemorrhage, and malignant transformation. Despite advances in medical therapy, the majority of patients with CD require surgical intervention within 10 years of the initial diagnosis.
