Fistulas in Crohn’s disease are a common problem in treatment of the disease. Especially perianal fistulas may cause a loss in patient’s quality of life.

Based on clinical and radiological findings we performed operative treatment in combination to immunosuppressive therapy as an interdisciplinary collaboration
