Abstract

Although it is likely that cases of what we know as granulomatous inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease) may have been recorded as early as 1769, this illness is basically a disease of the 20th century. This historical review traces the development of our understanding of the disease and the evolution of its operative management.
