Predicting fistula risk after abscess drainage
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a computer model to predict if a fistula (an abnormal tunnel) might form after your first perianal abscess is drained. The goal is to help doctors identify patients who may need extra monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- This is your first perianal abscess (infection near the anus).
- You have had surgery to drain the abscess.
- You have never had an anal fistula (an abnormal connection between the anal canal and skin).
- You do not have Crohn's disease (a type of inflammatory bowel disease).
- You are not taking medications that suppress your immune system.

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 trial tests whether giving antibiotics after draining a first-time perianal abscess can prevent a fistula (an abnormal tunnel) from forming. If you have a first abscess near the anus that needs draining, you may be able to join.
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 focuses on people 18 and older who have a perianal abscess that needs surgical treatment. It aims to improve how these abscesses are diagnosed and managed, including care around surgery.
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.
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.
