Core Tip
Core tip: Modified Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn’s disease (mSES-CD) is a new scoring method which includes assessment of the endoscopic activity of small intestinal as well as colorectal lesions by double balloon endoscopy. mSES-CD is useful in evaluating the risk of salvage surgery-free survival in patients with Crohn’s disease.
