Abstract

Danilov MA*, Baychorov AB and Leontev AV

Surgery is crucial in the treatment of Crohn's disease complications, particularly obstructive and septic. The risk of surgical complications in this patient group is particularly high due to transmural inflammation of the intestinal wall. If there is intestinal blockage in the compensatory stage, individuals with Crohn's disease are evaluated for routine surgical therapy.
