Abstract
Diagnosis and treatment of perianal Crohn's disease is challenging and requires its own domain of therapy. Different types of perianal disease require a spectrum of treatment strategies. Treatment options range from conservative therapy, including immunosuppressives, biologics, or stem cell therapy, to surgical treatment with specific indications depending on the underlying lesion. This is part III of the series "state-of-the-art surgery for Crohn's disease," focusing on the management of perianal disease. We discuss the definition and diagnosis of perianal Crohn's disease, the treatment of perianal lesions, and specific surgical indications and techniques. Pitfalls and complications play a substantial role in the treatment of perianal Crohn's disease, and surgical therapy may fail. Realistic treatment goals and an individual patient-oriented treatment approach are crucial in the treatment of perianal Crohn's disease.
