Ileostomy reversal after subtotal colectomy in Crohn ’s disease: a single institutional experience at a high-volume center

ConclusionIleostomy reversal after STC in Crohn ’s disease is uncommon. Certain treatment regimens and diagnostic factors may impact the likelihood of ostomy reversal.

However, due to t he low incidence of this procedure for CD, more data is needed.
