Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Transmural inflammation, skip lesions on the map
From mouth to anus, cobblestoning fills the gap
Steroids first to cool the flare, short-term bridge the blaze
Immunomodulators next — azathioprine for days
Anti-TNF biologics, infliximab's the name
Anti-integrin vedolizumab, anti-IL plays the same
JAK inhibitors rounding out the pharmacologic chain
But when the bowel starts to scar and stricture — medicine's in vain

[Chorus]
Doença do intestino — conserva o que é seu
Fístula, estenose, abscesso — know what surgery's due
Enfermedad que regresa — keep the margins tight
Strictureplasty saves the gut when resection isn't right
Bowel conservation — that's the cardinal rule
Doença de Crohn, the surgeon's ultimate school

[Verse 2]
Stricture blocking passage, Heineke-Mikulicz is first
Transverse the longitudinal cut when single segments burst
Finney for the longer stretch, Michelassi for the isoperistaltic
Side-to-side for multiples — the technique is fantástic
Ileocolic resection when the terminal ileum fails
Kono-S anastomosis — antimesenteric rails
Mesentery excluded from the join to cut recurrence down
Perforating versus stricturing — the phenotype wears the crown

[Chorus]
Doença do intestino — conserva o que é seu
Fístula, estenose, abscesso — know what surgery's due
Enfermedad que regresa — keep the margins tight
Strictureplasty saves the gut when resection isn't right
Bowel conservation — that's the cardinal rule
Doença de Crohn, the surgeon's ultimate school

[Verse 3]
Abscess first — drain it percutaneous, cool the septic tide
Resect electively later when the inflammation's dried
Enterocutaneous fistula — control the source upstream
Enteroenteric — symptom-driven, rarely what it seems
Enterovesical gives you pneumaturia, fecaluria too
Cystoscopy confirms it, then you plan what you must do
Perforation, bleeding, neoplasia — urgent knife is called
Failure of medical therapy — every option stalled

[Bridge]
Rutgeerts score post-op — endoscopy at one year
Zero to four, the higher grades, recurrence drawing near
Prophylactic therapy starts when anastomosis heals
Perioperative — hold the biologics, nutritional appeal
Optimize before you cut — malnourishment is furtive
That word means secretly destructive, working covert, subversive
Steroids taper pre-op, sepsis must be cleared
A quiescent field of battle is the canvas that's revered

[Chorus]
Doença do intestino — conserva o que é seu
Fístula, estenose, abscesso — know what surgery's due
Enfermedad que regresa — keep the margins tight
Strictureplasty saves the gut when resection isn't right
Bowel conservation — that's the cardinal rule
Doença de Crohn, the surgeon's ultimate school
