Factors that affect wound healing after anal fistula surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at what helps or hurts healing after surgery for an anal fistula (a small tunnel that forms between the anal canal and the skin near the anus). It may help doctors improve care for people who have this surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows people having surgery for an anal fistula to see how well they recover. It uses your feedback to measure results, and you'll have check-ins for a year.
This study looks at whether the timing of surgery for a first-time anal fistula affects healing and whether it comes back. It follows patients for at least a year after their operation.
This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the wound helps healing after surgery for a simple anal fistula. PRP uses your own blood to speed up recovery, and the goal is to see if it reduces pain and helps the wound close faster.
This study looks at how surgery for common anal conditions (like fissures, hemorrhoids, or fistulas) affects female sexual function. Researchers want to see if your sex life changes after the operation.
This study looks at how fistula surgery affects your daily life and functioning. It may be a good option if you have an anal fistula that needs treatment.
This study tests whether extra education before anal fistula surgery helps patients. If you're having your first fistula surgery as an outpatient under local anesthesia, this may be for you.
