Aim of the present study is to compare a stapled, functional end-to-end, ileo-colic anastomosis with removal of the mesentery vs the manual, functional end-to-end, ileo-colic Kono-S anastomosis with mesentery preservation, in terms of peri-operative safety, and efficacy in preventing endoscopic recurrence after ileocolic resection for Crohn Disease. Patients presenting with ileocolic primary Crohn disease either not suitable for medical treatment or with contraindications for therapy i.e: occlusion, abscess, contraindications to the use of biologics

endoscopic recurrence (Rutgeerts score i2 or greater) at 6,12, 18 months.Endoscopic recurrence was defined if Rutgeerts > i2 (>5 aphthous lesions or larger lesions confined to anastomosis), i3 (diffuse ileitis), or i4 (diffuse inflammation with large ulc
Timeframe: From the treatment a close follow up is performed at 6, 12 and 18 months.The majority of endoscopic examinations were centrally performed. In few cases check was performed in separated centers and a "recording video clip" of the endoscopy was assessed fo
