Does a histologically inflamed resection margin increase postoperative complications in patients with Crohn's disease?

CONCLUSIONS: After bowel-sparing surgery for CD, the frequency of histologically inflamed resection margins is high. However, postoperative complication rate remains low. The current practice with resection of only the most affected bowel segments for CD seems to be a safe choice. We still need further research concerning risk factors for postoperative complications in Crohn's patients. PMID: 29431516 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
