Assessment of mucosal healing in inflammatory bowel disease
Triki Ismail
Oran Military Hospital, Algeria
T
herapeutic issues have evolved in management of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) and a new therapeutic target is the
achievement of mucosal healing (MH). Indeed, this concept is associated with better long-term outcome in term of sustained
clinical remission, a decrease in the need for hospitalizations and surgery and improvement quality of life. Several methods have
been used to define and evaluate MH. Among them, histology and endoscopy are the main methods that are competed by imaging
or biological methods which are subject of validation studies. We draft on the advantages and disadvantages of each technic to better
define what MH is.
