Other drugs of the biologics are recently available, while most CD cases having operations have previously received a drug of this class. This class of agents has a direct association with higher postoperative complication rates, which raises a lot of controversies. In this review summarize the essential data concerning the vedolizumab effect on CD's postoperative results. The previous data did not demonstrate a cause-effect absolute connection between the increased postoperative morbidities and vedolizumab. Many routing factors unquestionably affect CD's postoperative outcomes and complications, like malnutrition, unsuitable abdominal settings, and steroids' previous use. Using vedolizumab perioperatively seems safe. Nevertheless, a definitive relationship from the available data is controversial. Personalized, multidisciplinary evaluations and decisions should be made for each case independently, adjusting the surgical plan regarding the involved risk factors.
