[Crohn's disease. Apropos of 72 surgical cases].
The authors report a series of 72 cases of Crohn's disease, and discuss the clinical and pathological aspects, the surgical treatment and results. A critical study of the operations in view of the requirements of the disease showed that incomplete resection was mainly responsible for the recurrences. In most cases, the word relapse was more suitable to describe the poor results noted. Immediate radical removal gives such good results that these outweigh the functional disadvantages.
