Abstract
For the obstructed high-risk Crohn's disease patient, there is increasing evidence that timely surgery of a conservative nature can be performed with good effect. This article deals with the author's views, experience, and bias relating to the procedure of strictureplasty--the "emerging" conservative operation for the high-risk Crohn's patient with chronic bowel obstruction.
