Postoperative recurrence in Crohn's disease poses significant challenges, with up to 70% of patients experiencing recurrence within the first year post-surgery. Advancements in AI-driven imaging and multi-omics methodologies are emerging to enhance detection, risk assessment, and monitoring strategies. The review highlights novel technologies like endoscopic imaging, intestinal ultrasound, and molecular biomarkers, addressing limitations associated with current monitoring methods. Future integration of these advancements into clinical practice may lead to proactive management and improved patient outcomes.
- Postoperative recurrence in Crohn's disease can be as high as 70% in the first year.- Advances in imaging and AI can facilitate earlier detection and risk stratification.- Techniques like confocal laser endomicroscopy enhance visibility of mucosal changes.- Composite strategies improve monitoring reliability.- Multi-omics approaches reveal biological mechanisms behind recurrence.- AI can standardize assessments and improve clinical workflows.- Proactive surveillance may lead to better patient management and outcomes.
