Study linked at the end. Colore**al cancer is now the leading cause of death in people under 50. This trend is heartbreaking to say the least. Screening age needs to come down! Colonoscopy should be offered more agresssively in symptomatic patients. I’m seeing this in my clinical practice with a majority of patients being young. It’s so heartbreaking. **alcancer **alcancer **alsurgeon

Crohn’s surgery can be more complex than cancer surgery at times. Fistulas to the bladder create a unique challenge needing expertise to repair. It’s critical to remove the diseased intestine create a healthy new connection, and protect the bladder for a repeat fistula using a piece of native tissue like fat or omentum. Good preop nutrition and minimization of steroids is critical to healing. **alsurgery **alcancer
