ABSTRACT

Strictureplasty in patients with Crohn's disease is an option in the colorectal surgeon's armamentarium for fibrostenotic obstructive disease. Common types include the Heineke-Mikulicz strictureplasty, Finney strictureplasty, and the side-to-side isoperistaltic strictureplasty. The procedure has potential for significant morbidity; therefore, it should be chosen for the patient carefully. Strictureplasty complements bowel resection in Crohn's disease; it is an excellent procedure to reduce the risk of developing short-bowel syndrome and its associated complications.

KEYWORDS
