Analysis of risk factors - especially different types of plexitis - for postoperative relapse in Crohn’s disease

Figure 1 Submucosal plexitis (A) with plasma cells, eosinophil granulocyte surrounding the ganglion cell (hematoxylin-eosin staining); and myenteric plexitis (B) with plasma cells, neutrophil granulocyte, eosinophil granulocyte surrounding the ganglion cell (hematoxylin-eosin staining) in a Crohn’s disease resection specimen.

Figure 2 Shows the survival probability without a second Crohn’s disease-related surgery and the probability without clinical recurrence with the Kaplan-Meier method. CD: Crohn’s disease.
