In the setting of @entity29 ( @entity29 ), laparoscopic approaches have been avoided because of the often fragile intestinal tissue, thickened mesentery, @entity3147 , immunosuppression, and the presence of dense adhesions. In this article, we report 10 successfully managed laparoscopic cases in @entity29 @entity1 (five with @entity31 , five with @entity30 ). @entity1 with @entity31 underwent total abdominal colectomies, mucosal proctectomies, J-pouch construction, and diverting ileostomies. Procedures in @entity1 with @entity30 included ileocecectomy (3), sigmoid colectomy with takedown of a transverse @entity694 (1), and stricturoplasty (1). One of the 10 cases was converted to an open technique for technical reasons. Six of the 10 @entity1 were on high dose corticosteroids for disease control. Hospital stay ranged from 6-13 days, with a median of 7 days. The morbidity rate was 20 per cent, and included one case of mild @entity86 in a @entity30 @entity1 and one delayed @entity292 in an @entity31 @entity1 . There was no mortality. Based on these results, we conclude that laparoscopic intestinal surgery is both feasible and safe in selected @entity1 with @entity29 . Use of laparoscopic techniques in these @entity1 may reduce hospital stay, lessen adhesion formation, and improve cosmetic results in this generally young group of @entity1 .
