MORONI, Bruno M et al. Complex perianal fistula: Treatment with platelet-rich plasma. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.112, n.2, pp.197-202. ISSN 2250-639X.

A male patient with a diagnosis of steroid dependent inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis) sought medical care due to complex perianal fistula with extended chronic inflammation of the perianal region that was successfully treated with platelet-rich plasma as a single therapy. The benefits of autologous platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of this type of fistulas are presented. In this way, there is no need to perform surgery in a chronic inflammatory territory with high rate of complications and recurrence affecting patients' quality of life.

Keywords : Anal fistula; Fistula; Platelet-rich plasma.
