Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Background:

  • Perianal Crohn's disease presents management difficulties.
  • Limited evidence-based treatment options are available.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the incidence, classification, assessment, and management of perianal Crohn's disease.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a National Library of Medicine literature search.
  • Focused on perianal Crohn's disease and its various aspects.

Main Results:

  • Perianal Crohn's disease has diverse manifestations including skin tags, ulcers, fissures, abscesses, fistulas, and stenoses.
  • Enhanced radiological imaging (endoanal ultrasonography, MRI) improves assessment and surgical outcome prediction.

Conclusions:

  • Acute complications require immediate management to prevent tissue damage, serving as a bridge to definitive treatment.
  • Definitive treatment success must be balanced against risks, particularly fecal incontinence.
