- The RESECOL study investigates post-operative recurrence (POR) rates in colonic Crohn's Disease (CD) after segmental (SC) or subtotal colectomy (STC).
- Clinical and endoscopic POR rates were significantly lower after SC compared to STC (38% vs 63% and 50% vs 71%, respectively).
- Radiologic and surgical POR rates were similar between SC and STC procedures.
- Segmental colectomy showed a protective effect against clinical and early endoscopic POR in multivariable analysis.
- The study supports segmental resection for colonic CD when feasible due to lower recurrence rates.
