Abstract | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The principles of surgical management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) continue to evolve with advances in medical therapy, surgical technique, and minimally invasive operative technology. The purpose of this review is to highlight such advances in colorectal and anorectal surgery for IBD over the last year. RECENT FINDINGS: SUMMARY: The management of IBD remains complex and highly individualized. In severe cases, a combination of immunosuppression and surgical therapies may be required. However, the associated risks of complications make judgments about optimal treatment plans challenging.
