Management of anoperineal lesions in Crohn’s disease: a French National Society of Coloproctology national consensus

Abstract

The French National Society of Coloproctology established national recommendations for the treatment of anoperineal lesions associated with Crohn’s disease. Treatment strategies for acute abscesses, active fistulas (active denovo and still active under treatment), fistulas in remission, and rectovaginal fistulas are suggested. Recommendations have been graded following the international recommendations, and when absent, professional agreement has been established. For each situation, practical algorithms have been drawn.
