: Despite the introduction of biological therapies, an ileocolonic resection remains often required in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Unfortunately, surgery is not curative, as many patients will develop postoperative recurrence (POR), eventually leading to further bowel damage and a decreased quality of life. The 8 th Scientific Workshop of ECCO reviewed the available scientific data on both prevention and treatment of POR in patients with CD undergoing an ileocolonic resection, dealing with conventional and biological therapies, as well as non-medical interventions, including endoscopic and surgical approaches in case of POR. Based on the available data, an algorithm for the postoperative management in daily clinical practice was developed.
