Abstract

Crohn’s disease sickness rate is 0.3–0.2 per 100000 persons, its prevalence is 322 per 100000 persons; Up to 60–70 % of patients with Crohn’s disease undergo this or that type of surgical intervention – from opening of paraproctitis to extensive intestinal resections. Uninterrupted course of disease and probability of severe relapses induce application of long postoperative drug therapy to avoid repeated operations. Repeated resections of the bowel in Crohn’s disease are dangerous from the position of the development of short bowel syndrome, severe digestive disorders. Surgical treatment in Crohn’s disease is aimed at prevention of complications and improvement of patients’ quality of life, if drug therapy is useless.
