โฆ Synopsis
Patients with Crohn's disease are prone to the development of pyogenic complications. These complications are most commonly in the form of perianal or intraabdominal abscesses and/ or fistulas. Complications in these 2 distinct areas are managed differently; however, they are similar in the fact that initial treatment relies on medical or minimally invasive management to achieve a nonacute condition prior to definitive surgical procedure. This article reviews the current surgical management of obtaining pyogenic control in both anorectal and intraabdominal Crohn's disease.
