Abstract

Abstract Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a significant part of benign colorectal practice. This chapter covers all aspects of medical and surgical management both in acute and elective settings. The initial sections explore the current theories around aetiology, in addition to the latest epidemiological data. Specialty contributors have extensively updated the sections on medical management to reflect the recent advances in drug treatment for both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Principles of surgical management are discussed and numerous clinical images are included to help illustrate the different perianal and extra-intestinal presentations of disease. The authors have also collated the evidence relating to cancer risk and the effects of IBD on reproduction which is presented in a style that is easy to access.
