Abstract
Currently, the treatment of patients with perianal manifestations of Crohn's disease is a complex task that requires an integrated approach. Existing methods of surgical correction are often only temporary, the rate of relapse of the disease remains high. Unsatisfactory treatment results, especially in the late postoperative period, a small number of clinical observations in published scientific papers devoted to the treatment of perianal fistulas against the background of Crohn's disease, the lack of a unified treatment strategy for these patients, as well as the low reliability of the results, determine the need for further research.
