Abstract

Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease that typically affects the distal part of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) such as the terminal ileum and colon. However, it can affect the upper GI tract, potentially resulting in complications such as strictures, but discussion of the management of such effects is limited in the surgical literature.
