[Crohn's disease. The indications for surgical treatment (author's transl)].
On the basis of immediate and long term results obtained by surgery in a consecutive series of 46 patients with Crohn's disease (1968-1978), the authors establish the salutory efficiency of a therapy which is often too delayed. Some of the patients could have advantage of an earlier resection complications occur. Thus the rate of mortality and morbidity could be lowered. This principle may become of great interest in opposite to the feebleness of the actual medical treatment.
