Perianal Crohn's disease affects 25%-35% of patients with Crohn's disease and has proven to be one of the most difficult complications of the disease to treat. Patients with perianal Crohn's disease have lower health-related quality of life scores typically related to pain and fecal incontinence. In addition, patients with perianal Crohn's disease have higher rates of hospitalizations, surgeries, and overall healthcare costs. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for the successful management of Crohn's disease with perianal fistula. Medical management is required to treat the underlying immune dysregulation to heal the luminal inflammation and the inflammation within the fistula tracts. Current options for medical therapy include biologics, dual therapy with thiopurines, therapeutic drug monitoring, and a close follow-up. Surgical management is critical to drain abscesses before immunosuppressive therapy and place setons when appropriate. Once the patient's inflammatory burden is well managed, definitive surgical therapies including fistulotomies, advancement flaps, and ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract procedures can be considered. Most recently, the use of stem cell therapy in the treatment of perianal fistula has given new hope to the cure of perianal fistula in Crohn's disease. This review will outline the most current data in the medical and surgical management of perianal Crohn's disease.
