Crohn's Disease

Research

Mayo Clinic is involved in clinical trials of a number of new medications for IBD. The Division of Colorectal Surgery is well-known for pioneering new surgical techniques for inflammatory bowel disease.

Mayo doctors made substantial contributions to the use of the ileoanal pouch for ulcerative colitis and developed laparoscopic surgical treatments for IBD. Mayo radiologists helped develop novel imaging techniques for inflammatory bowel diseases, including CT and MR enterography, and clinic gastroenterologists have been at the forefront of research on capsule endoscopy and balloon enteroscopy.
