First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tests a new approach for people with Crohn's disease who have complex anal fistulas that did not heal with standard biologic drugs. Doctors take a small amount of the patient's own fat, break it into tiny pieces, and inject it around the fistula to help it close. The goal is to heal the fistula, improve quality of life, and lower the chance of needing a permanent colostomy bag.
