Abstract

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily effects the digestive tract. Typical symptoms of IBD include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight-loss, however the main concern over IBD are its long term complications. IBD has been known to be linked to cancer and can also potentially cause strictures, haemorrhages, and toxic megacolon, along with extra intestinal manifestations.

Case: 43 year old man admitted to hospital via emergency department after experiencing abdominal pain and is 9 days post-op adhesiolysis.

Conclusion: Though this patient was able to achieve good clinical outcomes, more research must be done to determine how to best medically manage patients with IBD, which would enable long term care continuity. Additionally, this continuity could allow us to identify high risk individuals and intervene early, thus lowering morbidity and mortality while improving those patients’ quality of life.
