Abstract
Crohn’s disease is a chronic disorder associated with a high rate of recurrence and morbidity. New therapies have been developed over the last few decades that have improved both induction of remission and lowered recurrence rates which led to improved outcomes. An overarching set of principles connects these therapies with prevention of recurrence being the top priority. To achieve the best outcomes, patients must be carefully chosen, optimized, and the correct surgery performed by an experienced and multidisciplinary team at the appropriate time. We seek to outline the current evidence-based approach to the surgical management of Crohn’s disease.
