Background: Early complicated Crohn's disease (CD) may require ileal resection as first-line treatment.
Aim: To evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent early ileal resection.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in two inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) referral centres, including patients with ileocaecal resection and segmental ileal resection within 5 years of CD diagnosis.
Preparing fecal microbiota transplants immediately after donation is resource-intensive, and a proportion are destroyed following abnormal screening results. We retrospectively compared two processes, frozen fecal preparation (FFP) and fresh native frozen preparation (FNFP), for clinical efficacy in the treatment of recurrent infection (rCDI). FFP and FNFP were similarly effective with clinical success rates of 76.

Aims: To evaluate Tri-CT +/- bevacizumab efficacy and safety, and to identify factors influencing treatment decisions.
Methods: The COLOTRIP retrospective study enrolled mCRC patients treated from 2014 to 2019 in 14 French centers.
