Inflammatory vs. complicated Crohn’s disease: Long-term outcomes after ileocecal resection

We have read the article, entitled “Long-term comparative outcomes after ileocecal resection for inflammatory versus complicated Crohn’s disease. A multicenter, retrospective study (Crohn´s-Urg)” by Avellaneda et al. (2025) [1]. and consider it an important work in the expanded surgical literature regarding Crohn's disease. We want to acknowledge the authors for their multicentre collaboration and long-term follow up in the study. Investigating whether surgical success differs among inflammatory and complicated crests is a critical clinical question, and this study added to the discussion of this issue.
