[Intestine saving surgery in Crohn disease--results of limited resection and stricture-plasty].
In order to evaluate functional results and outcome of "limited surgery" in Crohn's disease we reviewed the data of 161 operations performed in 65 patients. In our series most of the patients had repeated operations. Nevertheless we saw no short bowel syndrome, no death occurred. Correlation was high between number of operations and length of resected bowel (r = 0.8) whereas no correlation was found between resected bowel and duration of disease nor between duration and number of operations. In conclusion strictly admitted principles of limited surgery seem to preserve good functional results. Risk of complications or short bowel syndrome seems not to be increased.
