Abstract
This section of the Symposium--new directions for future research-- is separated into medical, surgical, and experimental aspects. Yet this separation is actually somewhat arbitrary and even artificial. In fact, these three categories of medical, surgical, and experimental research often converge. One example of this convergence is the study of the ideal human experimental model for Crohn’s disease --namely, the postoperative patient.
