be weighed up against the potential side effects of the drugs, and it is often benefi -
cial to have this treatment guided by the gastroenterologist. In our practice, we are
currently moving away from treating with metronidazole and mesalamine postop-
eratively and aim to enter patients into the TOPPIC (Trial Of Prevention of Post-
operative Crohn’s disease) trial, a randomized controlled trial of 6-mercaptopurine
vs. placebo to prevent recurrence of Crohn’s disease after surgical resection.
21.4.13 What Are the Considerations for Surgery for Recurrent
Crohn’s Disease?
Approximately 80% of patients with small bowel Crohn’s disease will need surgical
treatment within their lifetime, and 30–50% of these will need further surgery within
the subsequent 10 years [ 54– 56 ] . Recurrent Crohn’s disease is frequently at the site
of the anastomosis and may require further resection or in some situations or may
be treatable by strictureplasty. Surgery for recurrent Crohn’s disease should aim to
make a full assessment of the bowel and conserve bowel length if possible remem-
bering that surgery for Crohn’s disease is not curative but should be about best
managing the complications of the disease using the principles described here,
especially “SNAP.”

22.1 Crohn’s Disease and the Anus
Crohn’s disease has been associated with perianal fi stulation since the condition
was fi rst recognized. The pathophysiology of anal involvement is initiated by a
penetrating ulcer which can progress to form a fi stula to the perineum, vagina, or
scrotum. Perianal Crohn’s disease (PCD) can also produce an anal stricture, typi-
cally in the upper anal canal [ 1 ] . Thus the characteristic lesions of perianal Crohn’s
disease are ulceration, fi stula/abscess, and stricture (Table 22.1 ).
Typically, perianal disease is more likely to be associated with colorectal Crohn’s
disease than small bowel involvement [ 2 ] . A signifi cant proportion of Crohn’s
patients (10%) present with perianal disease. The cumulative risk of perianal fi stula
formation is 26% at 20 years [ 3 ] .
Perianal Crohn’s disease can present with trivial symptoms or very severe and
disabling symptomatology. Assessment requires a detailed history, MRI imaging,
and EUA. The protean manifestations of the disease, the stoicism of individual
patients and the evolution of new therapeutic agents, now present the colorectal
surgeon with a complex range of management problems (Box 22.1 ) .
22.2 Minimal Disease or Trivial Symptoms
The mere presence of skin tags and or fi stulation, including minimally symptomatic
anovaginal fi stulation, does not mandate a therapeutic intervention. If the patient is
untroubled by symptoms, then irrespective of the clinical fi ndings, it seems diffi cult

to recommend any therapy that might be associated with morbidity. Long-term anti-
biotics may be useful in reducing discharge and perianal discomfort. The commonly
used antibiotics to suppress perianal sepsis in PCD are metronidazole and cipro-
fl oxacin. Both antibiotics are associated with 60–80% symptomatic improvement in
unselected patients with PCD sepsis. Relapse of symptoms is common after cessa-
tion of antibiotics, and this therapy if helpful is often maintained indefi nitely.
Patients on metronidazole must be told to discontinue metronidazole if they develop
paresthesia in fi ngers or toes [
4 ] as this indicates the development of peripheral
neuropathy (Box 22.2 ) .

Case Scenario
A 32-year-old man with no previous medical history presents with an acutely
painful bottom. An urgent MRI scan is negative, but EUA demonstrates a
cavitating ulcer. Which of the following is appropriate?
(a) Open up both ischiorectal fossae to drain occult sepsis.
(b) Biopsy the ulcer and consider Depo-Medrone injection.
(c) Recommend long-term nicorandil.
(d) Commence infl iximab and then azathioprine.
(e) Counsel the patient for a defunctioning loop ileostomy.

22.3.1 Painful Anal Canal Ulcer
An unusual but dramatic presentation: the patient may have no background of
Crohn’s disease but presents with severe and disabling anal pain. MRI does not
show a collection, but EUA demonstrates an anal canal ulcer which responds well
to Depo-Medrone injection [ 5 ] .

22.4 Severe Ulcerating Perineal Disease Without Sepsis
This is an unusual surgical presentation and is most often seen in children with
severe Crohn’s disease [
6, 7 ] – “Highly Destructive Perianal Crohn’s Disease.”
Surgical drainage, once MRI scanning has excluded a deep collection, has no
role. The management is using immunomodulators such as azathioprine or tac-
rolimus followed by infl iximab infusion. If this fails to control anal symptoms
then the only useful surgical intervention is a defunctioning stoma. This will help
control symptoms, but it is very rarely associated with reestablishing continuity
and, more usually, is the stepping stone to proctectomy (see the Failing/Failed
Bottom).
22.5 Symptomatic Septic Collection Due
to Perianal Fistula/Abscess
A symptomatic septic collection requires surgical drainage with or without prior
MRI imaging. If the track of a fi stula is identifi ed, then surgeon can consider fi stu-
lotomy if the track is superfi cial – or the insertion of a draining seton.
22.5.1 Fistulotomy or Seton
Laying open a perianal Crohn’s fi stula is not associated with problems of healing in
the large majority of patients [ 8 ] . However, as the majority of Crohn’s fi stulae involve
signifi cant sphincter thickness [ 9, 10 ] , fi stulotomy is contraindicated in most patients.
Preservation of function with relief of sepsis is the prime aim in dealing with perianal
Crohn’s disease; for this reason, the large majority of patients with an identifi ed fi s-
tula tract are managed by seton insertion and not fi stulotomy [ 9, 10 ] .
22.5.2 The Successful Seton: Whither Next?
In the large majority of patients, seton drainage controls their perianal sepsis and
makes life much more tolerable. After the initial relief of symptom improvement,
most patients are keen to know when the seton will be removed. From the patient’s
perspective, the seton is associated with continuing perineal drainage; it can be uncom-
fortable, and for young patients seeking sexual partners, it is the one body piercing
that takes a bit of explaining. It can also be diffi cult for the patient to understand that
the seton is not curing the fi stula, but by allowing skin drainage, it is a palliative mea-
sure preventing abscess formation while preserving sphincter function (Box
22.3 ).
315
22 Perianal Crohn’s Disease
1. Just Take It (the Seton) Out!!!
This is the course of action requested by some patients. In one series of 18
patients in whom the seton was simply removed, 15 (83%) had a further abscess
after 60 months follow-up. Not a good option [ 11 ] .
2. Leave the Seton Indefi nitely – (i.e., Forever)
This is the default position (Fig. 22.1 ) when counseling a patient who has had
repeated abscess formation brought to an end by a successful seton (Box 22.4 ).

28 patients – 43 complex Crohn’s fi stulas •

• 89% No further surgery
• No deterioration in faecal continence
Thornton and Solomon [ 12 ] .
316
N. Scott
This approach is associated with no deterioration in faecal continence, and at
12 months, 89% of patients with a PCD fi stula managed by a seton have required no
further surgery [ 12 ] . The downside is that the fi stula is simply palliated with resid-
ual discharge, seton discomfort, and the risk of sexual embarrassment
3. Remove Seton – Close the Hole (Glue/Plug/Flap)
The role of glue and plugs in PCD fi stula is simply not well enough established
to recommend this course of action [
13, 14 ] . Advancement fl aps have a longer pedi-
gree [ 15 ] – but they also have some signifi cant disadvantages (Box 22.5 ).
4. Remove Seton – Go on Long-Term Infl iximab/Humira Therapy
So what happens if the patient insists on having the seton removed and going on a
biologic therapy? (Box 22.6 ). Well, for a start, the results of perianal fi stula closure seem
to be better if a seton is used fi rst and then followed by infl iximab therapy (21% closure
on infl iximab therapy alone versus 56% on infl iximab after seton removal) [ 22 ] .
In addition, access to indefi nite infl iximab infusions seems to offer a better out-
come than a fi xed regimen of three infusions after seton removal [ 23 , 24 ] . Thus, in
the Oxford study of fi xed infusions, 13/21 patients required further surgery com-
pared with Leeds experience of no surgical intervention in 21 patients given indefi -
nite access to infl iximab infusions (median infusions 5 range 3–19) [ 25 ] .

Infl iximab – binds and neutralizes both soluble and membrane-bound •

Infl iximab – closes the external opening in 50–60% of cases [ • 17 ]
Infl iximab maintenance therapy – keeps the external opening closed in •
50–60% responders (ACCENT II trial 17)
Infl ixmab – does not heal the fi stula track on radiological follow-up – pal-•

after 12 months therapy [ 21 ]
