Core Tip

Core Tip: With progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), 70% of the patients undergo at least one surgical treatment in their lifetime, which can negatively impact physical and mental health. Glycogen storage disease is a rare genetic disease. Neutropenia in such patients leads to prolonged intestinal infections and chronic inflammation, eventually progressing to IBD. Minimally invasive surgery for IBD has the advantages of fewer injuries, less pain, more rapid recovery of gastrointestinal function and a shorter postoperative hospital stay. Specifically, minimally invasive surgery has obvious advantages for patients with glycogen storage disease and IBD due to impaired autoimmune function.
