Abstract Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that has a serious impact on the quality of life of a young population. This thesis entitled “Tailored surgery in ileocecal Crohn’s disease – heading for gold”, aimed to improve postoperative outcomes for IBD patients. In part I the role of the mesentery in IBD was investigated and part II discusses the challenges of adequate endoscopic scoring of disease recurrence. Finally, part III investigated the clinical relevance of an inflamed appendix in patients with ileocecal Crohn’s disease.
