| Core Tip |
Intestinal ultrasound is a practical, non-invasive tool for monitoring postoperative Crohn’s disease. Bowel wall thickness > 3-5 mm, especially when persistent or worsening, predicts recurrence. Diagnostic accuracy improves with dual-site assessment (neo-terminal ileum and ileo-colonic anastomosis), Doppler hyperemia, and lymphadenopathy. Integration with fecal calprotectin enhances specificity and negative predictive value. Advanced techniques like contrast enhanced ultrasound and small intestine contrast ultrasound further refine detection. Early assessment within 12 months post-surgery is most prognostic. Intestinal ultrasound is well-suited for repeated follow-up, and when used systematically, may reduce reliance on routine ileocolonoscopic in selected postoperative patients. |
