CROHN'S SYNDROME AND SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS: INTEGRATED APPROACH IN ANESTHESIA AND GENERAL SURGERY

Abstract

 Crohn's Syndrome is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, characterized by periods of activity and remission, which can result in serious complications, such as strictures, fistulas and abscesses. Although initial treatment involves the use of medication, a significant portion of patients with Crohn's Syndrome end up requiring surgical interventions. In this context, the integrated approach between anesthesia and general surgery plays a fundamental role, ensuring not only the effectiveness of the surgical procedure, but also the safety and well-being of the patient. Objective: To discuss the main considerations involved in the anesthetic and surgical management of Crohn's Syndrome, highlighting the importance of an integrated approach to optimize clinical results and patients' quality of life. Methodology: The Cochrane, Scielo and Medline databases were used, with articles published between 2017 and 2023, available in English or Portuguese. Final Considerations: In view of the complexity of Crohn's Syndrome, an integrated approach between anesthesia and general surgery is essential to ensure successful surgical results and a better quality of life for patients. Furthermore, customizing the treatment plan, considering each patient's individual needs, and ongoing education about the disease are crucial to optimizing long-term results.
