Core Tip	The most common localization for intestinal Crohn’s disease (CD) is the terminal ileum and ileocecal area. In elective surgery, management of isolated Crohn’s colitis continues to evolve. As surgery in ulcerative colitis ultimately cures the disease, in CD, regardless of the extent of bowel removed, the risk of disease recurrence is as high as 40%. Depending on the type of surgery performed, colonic CD patients often require further medical or surgical therapy to prevent or treat recurrence. The elective surgical treatment of colonic CD is strictly dependent on the localization of disease, and the choice of the procedure is dependent of the extent of colonic involvement and previous resection.
