Surgery for Crohn's disease in Ireland. 1986

J F Fielding, and P G Collins, and B E Lane, and H D Osborne

Patients overall had a one in seven chance of having curative surgery in any of the first ten years following diagnosis. Cumulative surgical recurrence rates are similar to those in America. The higher cumulative surgical recurrence rates are similar to those in America. The higher cumulative risk of surgical recurrence in patients with macroscopic disease of the large bowel probably relates to a conservative surgical approach in such patients. There was no operative mortality.
