MENDOZA, J. L. et al. Diagnostic and treatment recommendations on perianal Crohn's disease. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2005, vol.97, n.1, pp.46-56. ISSN 1130-0108.

Treatment of perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease should be defined on an individual basis. A combined medical and surgical approach is the optimal treatment. Adequate management of perianal fistula disease is based on the presence or absence of active proctitis, anatomic location, and fistula type. Furthermore, the presence of perianal abscesses must be ruled out. This evaluation includes digital rectal examination, endoscopy, and examination under anesthesia combined with pelvic magnetic resonance imaging or anorectal endoscopy ultrasonography findings.
