Crohn’s disease is a chronic, unremitting, incurable, inflammatory disorder that can affect the entire intestinal tract. The presenting symptoms and signs, medical and operative options, and outcome likely depend on the disease genotype and phenotype. Specifically, the surgical procedures typically utilized in the operative management of Crohn’s disease include nonresectional techniques such as internal bypass, fecal diversion, and strictureplasty as well as resectional procedures with or without concomitant anastomoses.
