Perianal fistulizing disease, commonly associated with Crohn's disease, poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its complex anatomy and high recurrence rates. Radiological imaging plays a pivotal role in the accurate diagnosis, classification, and management of this condition. This article reviews the current radiological modalities employed in the evaluation of perianal fistulizing disease, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), endoanal ultrasound, and computed tomography (CT).

However, this procedure fails in approximately 1 of 4 patients. Based on its supposed healing properties, platelet-rich plasma might enhance the outcome of this procedure.

This study evaluated the current use of preoperative screening and prehabilitation strategies (PS) prior to elective ileocolic resection (ICR) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD).
Methods: Patients with CD who underwent an elective ICR were identified from a Dutch prospective cohort study.
Background: The advantage of early ileocecal resection after Crohn's disease diagnosis is a matter of debate. This study aims to assess the timing of ileocecal resection on prognosis, after correction for possible confounders.
Methods: Patients with Crohn's disease with primary ileocecal resection between 2000 and 2019 were included in a retrospective multicentre cohort.
