Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder which involves mainly the gut. It poses a continuous challenge for health care due to the lack of effective medical therapies. Given the situation of this refractory disease, surgery is indicated. However, the optimal moment to perform it stills unknown. Data from 38 patients who underwent elective ileal resection because of Crohn's disease between years 2019 and 2022 were collected. Early postoperative morbimortality, ileostomy rates, postoperative complications rates and postoperative recurrence rates were retrieved.
