Types of operation
- ideally resection with primary reanastomosis
- bypass obstruction, e.g. duodenum
- stricturoplasty in patients at risk of developing short bowel syndrome
- extensive colonic involvement may require panproctocolectomy
There is a 30-50% recurrence rate mostly at the neoterminal ileum; however, patients are still palliated well and not all require reoperation. Surgical procedures should be covered with corticosteroids.
