PERIANAL CROHN'S DISEASE: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, AND OUTCOMES
Abstract
A chronic inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease can impact the perianal region as well as other sections of the gastrointestinal tract. PCD, or peripheral Crohn's disease, is a difficult consequence that can seriously lower a patient's quality of life. Using both clinical and scientific data, this thorough study attempts to present a thorough grasp of PCD diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.
