Introduction: endoscopic mucosal healing in inflammatory bowel disease has been associated with sustained clinical remission and hospitalizations and surgery reduction, but it has been difficult to achieve, according to the literature. So, we decided to assess improvement in endoscopic mucosal in our inflammatory bowel disease patients. Purpose: endoscopic mucosal assess improvement in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Methods: multicenter, descriptive and transversal. We included 24 patients with IBD between 17-73 years. Control colonoscopy was performed to evaluate the response to treatment using endoscopic Mayo Score for ulcerative colitis, Simplified Score for Crohn’s disease and postoperative recurrence was evaluated with Rutgeerts Index endoscopic healing was considered when the patient had grade 0 at all scales and improvement when they had one point less in the endoscopy scale in decreased relation to the previous study. Results: ulcerative colitis: 12 patients, 10 received aminosalicylates and 2 biological therapy. The group receiving aminosalicylates, 3 had endoscopic healing, there was endoscopic improvement in 8 of which 6 are aminosalicylates and 2 Infliximab. There was one patient with no improvement aminosalicylates. Crohn’s Disease: 12 patients, 7 with aminosalicylates, 2 biological therapy alone, 2 with biological and immunomodulatory and 1 with biological and aminosalicylates. Of which 4 had endoscopic improvement, 12 stayed the same degree of involvement and 2 with aminosalicylates was endoscopic healing. Conclusions: There was a high percentage (70.8%) of healing and endoscopic improvement associated with adherence and treatment optimization.
