The removal of the ileum itself does not cause Crohn's disease later in life, but it can lead to changes in the gut that may influence the course of the disease if a person is already predisposed to it. Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with a complex etiology involving genetic, environmental, and immune factors. While ileal resection may alleviate symptoms in some cases, it can also lead to complications like short bowel syndrome and potentially trigger or exacerbate underlying inflammatory processes in susceptible individuals. However, the relationship isn't straightforward, and many factors contribute to the development of Crohn's disease.

What does CROHNS stand for?

The disease was independently described in 1904 by Polish surgeon Antoni Leśniowski and in 1932 by American gastroenterologist Burrill Bernard Crohn, for whom the disease was named. Crohn, along with two colleagues, described a series of patients with inflammation of the terminal ileum, the area most commonly affected by the illness.[9] For this reason, the disease has also been called regional ileitis[9] or regional enteritis.
