Background: There are reported variations in the intraoperative management of Crohn's disease. This consensus statement aimed to develop a standardised protocol for photographic documentation of intraoperative findings and critical procedural steps in ileocolonic Crohn's disease surgery.
Methods: Colorectal surgeons with a specialist interest in minimally invasive surgery and inflammatory bowel disease were invited as committee members to develop a survey on the use of photo-documentation in Crohn's disease surgery. A 15 item survey was developed on ethical considerations and applications of photo-documentation in audit and quality control, research, and training.
Results: There was strong agreement on the potential application of intraoperative photo-documentation in Crohn's disease for training, research, quality control and tertiary referrals. Reviewers agreed that intraoperative staging required photo-documentation of strictures, skip lesions, perforations, fat wrapping and mesenteric disease. The necessary steps to be photo-documented were very specific to Crohn's disease surgery, such as views of anastomosis and strictureplasties, and extent of resection(s).
Conclusions: Our consensus statement identified several items for appropriate intraoperative photo-documentation in Crohn's disease surgery, to be used as an adjunct to accurate annotation of intraoperative findings and procedures.

Objectives: The absorption of conventional cholecalciferol may be impaired in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The bioavailability and optimal dosing of buccally absorbable nanoemulsion vitamin D in this population remain unclear. This study aimed to compare the effects of buccal nanoemulsion and conventional oral vitamin D supplementation on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels in patients with IBD.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition characterized by the need for highly individualized treatment plans, requiring patients to make numerous complex medical decisions. Shared decision-making (SDM) has proven effective in improving treatment outcomes, patient satisfaction, and adherence in IBD management; however, its clinical implementation remains challenging. In China, formal SDM nurse roles have not yet been established.

The coexistence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Crohn disease (CD) is rare and presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to overlapping clinical, radiologic, and histologic features. We present a 24-year-old woman with SLE, chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and newly diagnosed CD treated with risankizumab, an interleukin-23 inhibitor approved for CD. She achieved complete clinical and radiologic remission of CD without SLE flares over 12 months.

Strictures are common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and are managed medically and endoscopically, if feasible, due to the risk of surgical complications. While endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) is often successful, the need for repeat dilation and subsequent surgery is common. Endoscopic stricturotomy (ESt) has gained popularity but has been limited by frequent post-procedural bleeding.
