Crohn’s Disease Treatment in Los Angeles
Expert surgical care for Crohn’s disease from Dr. Yosef Nasseri — bowel-sparing, minimally invasive techniques coordinated with your GI team.
Surgical Expertise for Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that can affect any part of the digestive tract, causing pain, diarrhea, and complications such as strictures, fistulas, and abscesses. While many patients are managed with medication, most will benefit from surgery at some point.
Dr. Nasseri partners closely with gastroenterologists to time surgery correctly and to preserve as much healthy intestine as possible. The goal is to relieve complications, improve quality of life, and protect long-term digestive function.

When Surgery Helps
Surgery does not cure the disease, but it is often the best way to treat specific complications and restore quality of life.
Strictures
Narrowed segments of bowel that block passage can be widened or removed with tissue-sparing techniques.
Fistulas & Abscesses
Abnormal connections and infections are treated surgically, often in coordination with medical therapy.
Medication-Resistant Disease
When symptoms persist despite medication, well-timed surgery can dramatically improve daily life.
Crohns Disease Symptoms and Our Approach
Symptoms include abdominal pain and cramping, chronic diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and, during flares, fever. Over time, inflammation can lead to scarring and complications that need surgical care.
Because this is a lifelong condition, surgical judgment is critical: operating too early adds risk, while waiting too long allows complications to develop. Dr. Nasseri uses bowel-sparing, minimally invasive techniques and coordinates every decision with your gastroenterologist to protect your long-term health.
Crohn’s Disease Surgical Treatment Options
Dr. Nasseri favors the least aggressive effective procedure, preserving healthy intestine and using minimally invasive approaches whenever possible.
Bowel-Sparing Resection
Removing only the diseased segment preserves as much healthy intestine as possible.
Strictureplasty
Widening a narrowed segment without removing bowel, ideal for preserving intestinal length.
Robotic Surgery
Minimally invasive techniques mean less pain, smaller scars, and a faster recovery.
Abscess & Fistula Care
Targeted treatment of infections and fistulas, coordinated with medical therapy.
Coordinated Care
Every step is planned with your gastroenterologist for the best long-term outcome.
