- Abstract
Anastomotic recurrence after bowel resection is a major problem in Crohn's disease (CD) surgery. The aims of this retrospective study are to assess the role of anastomotic configuration, the type of suture and the type of surgical approach (laparoscopy-assisted vs laparotomy) in CD recurrence. Secondary end points were to identify any possible predictor that would help the selection of patients for medical prophylaxis.
