Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Determine the 6 month endoscopic recurrence following a mesenteric sparing (MSI) versus central mesenterectomy (CMI) when performing an ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objectives are to determine the 6 months clinical and pathological recurrence, the need for restarting immunosuppressive medication according to protocol within the first year postoperatively, and determine the difference in clinical recurrence at one year postoperatively. Finally, determine the 5 year reoperation rate for recurrence of disease at the anastomotic site. | — |
