Intestinal Resections
Surgical removal of diseased bowel segments for Crohn's disease — bowel-preserving principles throughout.
What is Intestinal Resections?
Crohn's disease can cause transmural inflammation leading to obstruction, fistula, abscess, or perforation requiring surgery. Intestinal resection removes the diseased segment, with reconnection of healthy bowel ends (anastomosis), restoring the digestive tract.
Dr. Tagore Mohan Grandhi applies bowel-preserving principles, using stricturoplasty where possible and reserving resection for complications. Laparoscopic access is used wherever feasible for faster recovery.
Suitable for Crohn's disease complicated by bowel obstruction, fistula, abscess, perforation, or disease refractory to all available medical management, including biologics.
How the Procedure Works
Pre-operative Optimisation
Nutritional deficiencies corrected. CT or MRI enterography defines strictures, fistulas, and abscess locations. Steroids weaned if possible.
Laparoscopic Access
3–5 small keyhole incisions. Diseased segment identified and mobilised, assessing bowel viability and mesenteric vessel anatomy.
Bowel Resection
Diseased segment excised with adequate margins. Careful mesenteric haemostasis. Stricturoplasty performed for short strictures to preserve bowel length.
Primary Anastomosis
Healthy bowel ends reconnected by stapled or hand-sewn anastomosis. A stoma is avoided in the majority of planned cases.
Post-operative Recovery
Oral fluids on day two, solid diet on days three to four. Biologic therapy commenced post-operatively to reduce anastomotic recurrence.
Outcomes
Who Needs This Treatment?
- →Bowel-preserving — stricturoplasty preferred over resection for short strictures
- →Laparoscopic approach — smaller incisions, faster recovery, lower adhesion rates
- →Primary anastomosis avoids a stoma in the majority of planned cases
- →Pre-operative nutritional optimisation reduces post-operative complications
Crohn's surgery requires meticulous planning and a bowel-preserving philosophy. Every centimetre of healthy bowel preserved is a long-term benefit. We work with gastroenterologists for the best outcomes.
