Key Words Regenerative therapy; Mesenchymal stem cells; Platelet-rich plasma; Perianal fistulas; Fistulizing Crohn’s disease
Core Tip This umbrella review demonstrates that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) based regenerative therapy is associated with meaningful improvements in healing and remission in perianal fistulas and fistulizing Crohn’s disease. The most consistent benefits were observed with adipose-derived, allogeneic, and locally injected MSC. MSC therapy was generally well tolerated, with no increase in overall adverse events and potential reduction in serious adverse events. Among currently studied regenerative approaches, MSC appears to be the most promising option for fistula-related diseases.
