Trial Description

Traditionally, surgical resection for Crohn's disease differs from oncological principles and the mesentery is preserved. This study sought to examine whether resection of the mesentery en bloc in suitable patients reduces post-operative recurrence. The primary endpoint is surgical recurrence. Secondary endpoints include endoscopic and clinical recurrence. This is a multi-centre study between Ireland, USA and China.
