New surgery showdown: which bowel procedure keeps Crohn's at bay?
NCT ID NCT07164209
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 73 adults with Crohn's disease who needed surgery to remove a diseased part of the bowel. Researchers compared two different ways to reconnect the healthy ends: one that removes the fatty tissue around the bowel (mesentery) and one that keeps it (Kono-S). The goal was to see which method better prevents the disease from returning in the bowel over 18 months.
