  • Title: Stricturoplasty-a bowel-sparing option for long segment small bowel Crohn's disease.
    Author: Limmer AM, Koh HC, Gilmore A.
    Journal: J Surg Case Rep; 2017 Aug; 2017(8):rjx163. PubMed ID: 29423160.
    Abstract:
    Stricturoplasty is a surgical option for management of severe stricturing Crohn's disease of the small bowel. It avoids the need for small bowel resection and the associated metabolic complications. This report contrasts the indications and technical aspects of two different stricturoplasty techniques. Case 1 describes an extensive Michelassi (side-to-side isoperistaltic) stricturoplasty performed for a 100 cm segment of diseased small bowel in a 45-year-old patient. Case 2 describes the performance of 12 Heineke-Mikulicz stricturoplasties in a 23-year-old patient with multiple short fibrotic strictures.
