title: [Surgical management of small bowel localization of Crohn's disease].
abstract: Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, a chronic condition with recurrent relapses, difficult to diagnose and requiring a complex medical and surgical treatment. Analyzing 11 patients admitted in the surgical Clinique between 2003 and 2008 with Crohn's disease diagnostic, the authors study at the 7 patients operated the reason of the surgical interventions represented by the complications of the inflammatory disease--intestinal obstruction 2 cases, peritonitic syndrome in 3 cases, malignization 1 case, enterovesical fistulae--1 case. Intraoperatory the differential diagnosis between an inflammatory or tumoral etiology of the lesions was very difficult, and the surgical indication was in almost all cases for enteral resection. Postoperative evolution was in most cases with complications (5 cases)--unique anastomotic fistulae 2 cases, or recurrent fistulae in 3 cases, late bowel obstruction--2 cases. Studying the literature, it can be concluded that the surgical treatment is only one stage of the complex treatment that must be individualized for each case and applied only to the complications of the disease.
