Postoperative recurrence poses significant challenges in managing Crohn’s disease, with up to 70% of patients experiencing it within the first year after surgery. Advances in artificial intelligence, multi-omics, and advanced imaging techniques, including high-resolution endoscopy, intestinal ultrasound, and cross-sectional imaging, are pivotal for early detection and improved risk stratification. These innovations aim to personalize monitoring strategies and enhance patient outcomes by allowing clinicians to distinguish between postsurgical changes and inflammatory recurrence more effectively.
