[Efficacy of medical therapy in preventing the post-surgical recurrence in Crohn's disease].

Crohns Disease (CD) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease of unknown origins that cannot be definitely resolved with surgical intervention. Therefore, pharmacologic therapies are of great importance both in preventing relapses and by determining remissions. In this paper the authors analyse the different drugs available for the treatment of Crohns disease, and focus on their efficacy and tollerability.
