About Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal
tract with the disease typically localized in the terminal part of the ileum
(a portion of the small intestine) and right colon (a portion of the large
intestine). Unfortunately there is
no single test to diagnose Crohn's disease and because it can often imitate
other gastroenterological conditions, patients may experience a lengthy
diagnosis process.
Surgeons at five Ukraine hospitals and clinics are using the tissue bonding
technology in clinical trials and performing both open and laparoscopic
surgical procedures.com .
