ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Treating Crohn's disease that affects the duodenum requires a personalized surgical approach that takes into account the patient's individual health status.
Research motivation
The involvement of the duodenum in Crohn's disease is relatively rare, so it is necessary to summarize the surgical management.
Research objectives
Provide surgical treatment recommendations for duodenal Crohn's disease as a reference for surgeons.
Research methods
We systematically reviewed patients diagnosed with duodenal Crohn's disease who underwent surgery in the Department of Geriatrics Surgery of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 1, 2004, to August 31, 2022.
Research results
All patients had a chronic relapse, and one had a history of smoking. There were 6 cases with diarrhea, 4 cases with nausea and vomiting, and 9 cases with intestinal obstruction. Among 16 patients, there were 6 cases with primary duodenal Crohn's disease (5 cases had duodenal strictures and 1 case had tumor-like lesions) and 10 cases of secondary duodenal Crohn's disease (6 cases had an internal fistula and 4 cases had no internal fistula).
Research conclusions
Surgical treatment for duodenal Crohn's disease should be performed based on the patient's condition and the surgeon's experience.
Research perspectives
The incidence of Crohn's disease has been increasing year by year. This study explores surgical management for duodenal Crohn's disease from the perspective of surgeons.
