Clinical Example of Efficiency of the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Management of a Patient with Crohn's Disease Complicated by Perianal Lesions

Abstract

Crohn's disease is a severe relapsing disease that requires the coordinated work of doctors of various specialties — gastroenterologists, surgeons, radiologists, and endoscopists. The strategy of a multidisciplinary team is economically and clinically viable. The main principles of work in the multidisciplinary team are a recognized need and availability of specialists for each other, regular joint meetings, and presence of local standards and common approaches. The joint work of experts helps to develop an individual plan for the management of patients according to the severity and form of the disease, as well as to prevent complications and new relapses. The article presents a clinical example of the management of a patient with Crohn's disease complicated by perianal lesions. The implementation of the multidisciplinary team concept has prevented the disability of the child.
