Despite significant advances in their management after the introduction of biological therapies, particularly anti-TNF agents, these complications continue to pose challenges for the multiple professionals involved in their care. Fistulas that do not involve the perianal region (entero-enteric, entero-urinary, or entero-cutaneous) require a multidisciplinary strategy that combines medical, interventional, and surgical approaches. Their treatment ranges from general supportive measures to the use of antibiotics or, frequently, advanced therapies. Nevertheless, in cases of certain septic complications or those refractory to medical treatment, percutaneous drainage or surgical intervention remains essential. Although these lesions have a significant impact, evidence regarding the best strategies in this context, as well as the efficacy and safety of different therapies in these patients, remains limited.
