Abstract
Crohn’s disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease with chronic transmural inflammation of the intestinal wall. It can be observed from oral cavity to anus and it typically involves the ileum, ileocecumor portions of the entire colon. With an increasing rate of CD in children, surgery still has a role in the management of this entity in children when medical treatment is unsuccessful. In this review article it is aimed to review the surgical treatment of CD under the light of relevant literature. During the management of children with CD, risks and benefits of surgical options should be carefully assessed and an appropriate surgical intervention should be performed promptly in order to avoid future complications and to gain future growth of the child with an acceptable quality of life.
