Postpartum surgical complications in women with inflammatory bowel disease after caesarian section: A Danish nationwide cohort study.

The risk of a surgical complication after caesarian section as compared to a vaginal delivery is increased in women with IBD, regardless of whether the caesarian is performed for acute or elective reasons and/or immunosuppressive use prior to delivery. Due to this increased risk, physicians should perform a caesarian delivery as the exception rather than the rule.
