Feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for complex Crohn's disease of the small intestine

The laparoscopic approach for complex Crohn's disease (CD), which involves abscess formation, fistula formation, and recurrent CD, is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and safety of the laparoscopic approach for complex CD.
