Abstract
In this article, we review and identify modifiable risk factors associated with postoperative complications of Crohn's disease. We highlight the importance of factors such as nutrition, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, abscesses, ideal timing of surgery, and biologic and small-molecule therapy on surgical outcomes. Herein, we discuss the strategies for attenuating these risk factors. Special consideration is given to venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in this patient population.
