A member asked:
Is surgery the only treatment for an intestinal stricture of the sigmoid colon caused by crohn's disease?

The best treatment: Your best bet for intestinal stricture due to ibd is surgical resection. In patients who've had multiple surgeries/resections for ibd, stricturoplasty , where the inflammatory stricture is opened but not resected, may be an option.Still, surgical intervention will be necessary. Good luck.

Dilation: Endoscopic dilation is a small possibility but likely you will require surgery.
