Permacol for treating anal fistulae

Patient organisation comments

The Crohn's in Childhood Research Association provided the following comments on Permacol.

Permacol could offer significant benefits in terms of quality of life for patients. Anal fistulae cause nagging pain that can make it difficult to sit down, and any treatment that can alleviate this would improve quality of life. Further research may be able to identify a particular patient subgroup that would benefit the most from Permacol.
