Core Tip

Core tip: Laparoscopy is now increasingly used in cases of Crohn’s disease. Recurrence rates are similar to that of open surgery and studies have shown benefits of decreased hospital stay as well as earlier bowel function. This review highlights several studies that looked at patients who underwent ileocolic and colon resections as well as more complicated cases of Crohn’s.
