Core Tip	There appear to be limited adverse events as well as significant benefit to multi-approach therapy using stem cells to treat fistulizing inflammatory bowel disease. Comparing studies to current treatment rates of fistula healing, which has a less than 50% success rate, stem cell therapy for fistulizing Crohn’s disease ap­pears to be beneficial, as the majority of studies claim 60%-88% fistula healing and maintenance of remission at 24-52 wk. Further large-scale studies analyzing a multi-approach therapy including stem cells should be conducted, especially in a randomized double-blind approach.
