Background: Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (PFCD) is a challenging and debilitating phenotype of Crohn's disease that can negatively affect quality of life. Studies have begun to uncover the physiologic mechanisms involved in wound repair as it relates to PFCD and how aberrations in these mechanisms may contribute to fistula persistence.
Aims: To review the physiologic and pathophysiologic mechanisms of wound repair in PFCD and how specific therapeutic strategies may impact their outcomes.

This case is relevant for describing a rare presentation of intestinal tuberculosis with perianal manifestations, complicated by abscesses and recurrent fistulas. The clinical manifestations mimicked Crohn's disease and other inflammatory conditions, making the diagnosis challenging and requiring a differentiated and meticulous diagnostic process. A 45-year-old male patient presented with a chronic abscess in the left buttock lasting for two years, characterized by spontaneous purulent drainage and multiple recurrences despite surgical and clinical treatments.

Background: Nowadays, there is a clear need for new viable therapeutic options to face complex perianal Crohn's disease (PCD). Results of our previous pilot study demonstrated the efficacy and safety of local injection of autologous microfragmented adipose tissue (MFat) in this setting. This study aims to evaluate the long-term follow-up results in the same cohort of patients.

Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard compared other clinical findings. But shear wave elastography technique combined with endoscopic ultrasound can evaluate the degree of fibrosis of fistula tissue in Crohn's disease patients. This topic is highly relevant to the current discourse, especially for It shows a certain degree of innovation and practicality and is worthy of study and popularization.

Background: A singular reliable modality for early distinguishing perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (PFCD) from cryptoglandular fistula (CGF) is currently lacking. We aimed to develop and validate an MRI-based deep learning classifier to effectively discriminate between them.
Methods: The present study retrospectively enrolled 1054 patients with PFCD or CGF from three Chinese tertiary referral hospitals between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2021.
