Conservative management of spontaneous intra‐abdominal abscess in <scp>C</scp>rohn's disease: Outcome and prognostic factors

Abstract

Bowel resection appears to be inevitable in most CD patients presenting with IAA. An attempt at conservative treatment may be particularly successful with anti-TNF agents in younger patients who have not undergone previous bowel resection. Large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.
