Abstract
Postoperative clinical course was evaluated in 73 Crohn's disease patients with more than 10 years follow up after initial intestinal resection. Reoperation was performed in 72.6% and postoperative cumulative reoperation rate was 28% in 5year and 53.5% in 10 year. Multiple surgery more than three times underwent in 29% within 15 yrs after initial intestinal resection. Fecal diversion was performed in 30%. Three patients were dead because of sepsis in 2 patients. Return to social work was found in 89% of the patients. Long term prognosis was suggested to be good after intestinal resection in Crohn's disease.
