Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of early medical prophylaxis versus waiting for endoscopy findings in preventing postoperative recurrence (POR) in patients with Crohn's disease after ileocaecal resection (ICR).

- While both groups did not show significant differences in severe endoscopic POR or time to surgical recurrence, the proactive group had a lower treatment burden when using immunomodulators.
