How Can We Best Manage Crohn’s Perianal Fistulas (CPF)?

The number of procedures to treat any problem is often an indication of the efficacy and success of those procedures. The continually increasing already relatively large number of procedures designed to treat anal fistulas is a clear attestation to the lack of any one panacea therapy. In this second episode of our four-part series on anal fistulas in patients with Crohn’s disease, we review a variety of medical and surgical options. Our renowned expert faculty describe the indications, techniques, and results of many surgical and non-surgical modalities ranging from traditional established interventions such as setons to emerging methods. A robust panel discussion with active interaction with our global audience will ensure a thorough discussion of all of these topics.
