Twenty-seven cases (29.3%) required surgery, 19 acutely and eight for delayed stricture. Acute operative mortality was 10.5%. Disease-related mortality was 3.3%, and overall mortality was 8.7%. Follow-up ranged from 15 to 77 months for surgical patients, with only three of 23 survivors having increased bowel frequency.
