Patterns and predictors of postoperative complications and recurrence after ileocecal resection for Crohn’s disease: a national multicenter longitudinal study

Abstract

[EN]Crohn’s disease (CD) negatively impacts quality of life, and a high percentage of patients will need surgery. Ileocecal resection (ICR) is the most common abdominal procedure performed in CD. Postoperative complications are frequent, and recurrence is common. The main objectives of this study were to analyze risk factors (RF) for anastomotic leakage (AL) and recurrence after ICR, as well as quality of life (QoL) in CD in a sample of the Spanish population.
