Abstract :

Background: Crohn's disease is associated with high rates of postoperative recurrence. By 10 years postoperatively a high percentage of patient suffer clinical relapses (as many as 75% and above) and many of these (up to 45%) require re-intervention. Aim: The aim of the study was to identify, among the various potentially predictive factors, those which today can be considered real risk factors for postoperative recurrence.
