Half of Crohn's disease patients develop stenosis around 20 years after the disease onset. For a long time, surgery has been the only therapeutic approach for strictures. The introduction of anti-TNFα could be revolutionary in the management of these patients due to their potential role in stenoses' treatment.

Abstract

Half of Crohn's disease patients develop stenosis around 20 years after the disease onset. For a long time, surgery has been the only therapeutic approach for strictures. The introduction of anti-TNFα could be revolutionary in the management of these patients due to their potential role in stenoses' treatment. The aim of our work was to summarize efficacy data of anti-TNFα drugs in stricturing CD patients.
