Abstract
The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease in China has been reported to be rising over the recent years, followed by an increasing number of patients who necessitate surgical management. Surgery is among one of the major choices in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, and prompt surgery and appropriate operative procedures are critical when surgery is indicated. Combining the recent worldwide literatures and our own experiences, the decision making in the surgical treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, including the surgery indications and contraindications, the timing of surgery, operative procedures as well as perioperative management will be discussed in this article. Key words: Surgical procedures, operative; Inflammatory bowel disease; Crohn′s disease; Ulcerative colitis; Decision making
