Therapy for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has changed dramatically in recent years with the wide use of biologics. Despite these advances in medical therapy, surgery still plays an indispensable role in the management of IBD. And with more and more patients receiving biologics, surgeons also need to adapt to the impact of biologics on the disease. The purpose of this article is to review the role of surgery in the treatment of IBD in the era of biologics and the impact of these medications on perioperative outcomes.
