Crohn's disease of the large intestine

A comparative radiographic and pathological study of intestinal vaso-architecture in Crohn's disease and in ulcerative colitis

“…All except one of the patients, from whom the specimens had been taken, had undergone both multiple small-and large-bowel radiological examinations and mesenteric angiography before operation. The histological diagnosis, employing conventional criteria (Crohn and Yarnis, 1958;Lockhart-Mummery and Morson, 1964;Morson, 1968), was not in doubt in any of these cases. Epitheloid cell granulomas were present in all specimens with Crohn's disease, and all those with ulcerative colitis had both rectal and colonic changes characteristic of ulcerative colitis.…”

Non-restorative surgery in the treatment of Crohn's disease of the large bowel

“…The essential diagnostic features of large bowel Crohn's disease have been delineated in a number of studies from this hospital (Lockhart-Mummery and Morson, 1960Morson, , 1964Morson, and Dawson, 1972) and, using these criteria, the surgery undertaken in 84 cases was described (Jones, Lennard-Jones, and Lockhart-Mummery, 1966). The intention in the present paper is to present the results of surgery in the two main groups of patients undergoing excisional operations with the establishment of a permanent artificial stoma.…”

Ileo-rectal anastomosis for Crohn's disease of the colon

“…Received for publication 19 April 1971. disease of the colon have been dealt with by other authors (Lockhart-Mummery and Morson, 1964;Janowitz, Lindner, and Marshak, 1965;LennardJones, Lockhart-Mummery, and Morson, 1969), and any patient in this series who did not meet the histological criteria for Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis was placed in a separate category of 'colitis unclassified'. This paper deals only with the results of patients classified as having Crohn's disease.…”
