Abstract
The influence of radical versus more restricted operation and Azulfidine prophylaxis was studied in a controlled, partially randomized double blind multicenter trial (16 centres) in 177 patients over 3 years. Early relapse occurred more frequently in the radically operated group (49 vs. 31%) and less frequently under Azulfidine prophylaxis (34 vs. 46%). The radical operation had no advantage over the more restricted procedure and should be abandoned in Crohn's disease.Entities:
