Introduction:

The managment of Crohn’s disease consists in symptoms control for achieving clinical remission. When this is not accomplished or complications reappear, surgical treatment may be necessary.

Objective:

To assess the outcomes of surgical treatment of patients with complicated Crohn's disease.

Method:

An ambispective, descriptive and longitudinal study was carried out with a sample of twenty patients with complicated Crohn's disease who attended the general surgery and gastroenterology consultation at Hermanos Ameijeiras Clinical Surgical Hospital and the Gastroenterology Institute, in the period from January 2010 to May 2019. All demographic variables were collected, as well as the results of hemochemical, imaging and endoscopic studies.

Results:

The highest incidence of complications from Crohn's disease was observed in patients over fifty years of age and with an evolution time between one and ten years. Fistula and plastron were the main causes for surgical treatment. The laparoscopic approach showed advantages over the conventional one. Hydromineral imbalance and surgical site infection were the main postoperative complications, with low mortality.

Conclusions:

Elective, planned and sequential surgical treatment of patients with complicated Crohn's disease offers good outcomes. It is possible to use the video-assisted approach, with encouraging outcomes in selected patients.
