Crohn's Disease study: IOUS-guided margin selection
Official title Ultrasound-Guided Versus Standard Margin Selection in Ileocecal Resection of Terminal Ileal CD
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07680283
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study compares ultrasound‑guided margin selection to the usual visual method to see which gives better surgical margins in Crohn's disease.
