Morbid obesity among Crohn's disease patients is on the rise and is associated with a higher rate of surgical complications after ileocolic resection
The rate of MO among CD patients requiring ileocolonic resection is on the rise. MO in this setting is associated with statistically non-significant increases in all surgical complications, severe complications, readmission, and a higher chance for a bailout stoma creation upon reoperation. However, MO seems to be a protective factor for medical postoperative complications, which might suggest better nutritional status.
