| Core Tip |
Perianal fistulizing Crohn’s disease (PFCD) is difficult to manage after surgery because delayed wound healing and persistent inflammation are common. In this retrospective cohort study, a Ziwu-Liuzhu-guided time-specific traditional Chinese medicine external therapy was associated with better postoperative recovery than sitz bath alone or non-time-specific combined therapy. Patients in the time-specific group showed faster wound healing, lower inflammatory marker levels, greater improvement in Crohn’s Disease Activity Index and Perianal Disease Activity Index scores, and better anxiety outcomes. These findings suggest that treatment timing may be an important adjunct in integrated postoperative PFCD management. |
