Historically, Crohn's disease of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum has been reported only rarely. With more frequent use of upper endoscopy, however, upper gastrointestinal involvement has been found to be more common than previously suspected. The surgeon with an interest in Crohn's disease needs to be familiar with all areas that are potentially affected in this perplexing and sometimes devastating disease. This article examines the literature on foregut Crohn's and discusses the incidence, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, medical management, surgical indications, and operative techniques.
从历史上看，食管、胃和十二指肠的克罗恩病仅有极少的报道。然而，随着上消化道内镜检查的更频繁使用，发现上消化道受累比之前怀疑的更为常见。对克罗恩病感兴趣的外科医生需要熟悉这种复杂且有时具有破坏性的疾病可能累及的所有部位。本文审视了有关前肠克罗恩病的文献，并讨论了其发病率、临床表现、诊断、药物治疗、手术指征及手术技术。
