Objectives: Postoperative clinical recurrence is common in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) despite intestinal resection. Although histopathological findings at resection margins suggestively influence recurrence, their prognostic value remains unclear. This study evaluated the pathological features of the intestinal resection margins in CD and assess their utility in predicting postoperative clinical recurrence.
Okano et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
