Abstract
Young patients with extended and stricturing disease are at high risk for disease recurrence after surgery. Bowel wall thickening was a reliable prognostic factor for these patients. Conservative surgery is safe and effective in treating patients with jejunoileal CD and should be considered as the first-line surgical treatment, preventing the risk of short bowel syndrome caused by repeated resections.
