Introduction: A proper quantification of the inflammatory activity in Crohn's disease (CD) lesions is needed to establish the appropriate management for each patient. The aim of this study is to evaluate the inflammatory activity of affected segments in small bowel lesions using dynamic studies of magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) in patients undergoing surgery, and their correlation with the level of inflammation and histological fibrosis of the surgical piece.
Methods: A prospective, consecutive, observational, clinical study was conducted that included all the patients with small bowel CD that underwent surgery in this center between March 2011 and September 2013.
Background: Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is an effective method of assessing small bowel Crohn's disease (CD). Fecal calprotectin (FC) correlates well with endoscopic disease activity. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between FC and disease activity according to MRE and surgical pathology in small bowel CD.

- Parastomal hernia is a common late complication after colostomy, often remaining asymptomatic until it presents issues.
- A case study details a 69-year-old patient who exhibited signs of a parastomal hernia with incarceration of the stomach, leading to abdominal pain and vomiting, confirmed through imaging.
- The patient underwent surgery involving stomal transposition and mesh placement, and the article suggests that using prosthetic mesh during initial stoma creation could help prevent this complication.
