MRI imaging for perianal fistula before surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to get a clear picture of a perianal fistula before surgery, which helps doctors plan a more precise operation. It is a good option if you already need an MRI for your surgical planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have or may have a tunnel-like infection near your anus (called a fistula).
- You are scheduled for surgery to fix it and are already planning to have an MRI beforehand.
- You do not have any metal implants, pacemakers, or extreme claustrophobia that would make an MRI unsafe.
- You are willing to participate in the study.

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 compares four different imaging methods (including ultrasound, MRI, and an exam under anesthesia) to see which is most accurate in detecting and classifying perianal fistulas. It aims to improve diagnosis and treatment planning for people with this condition.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to treat a complex type of anal fistula (an abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and skin). It aims to find which approach offers better healing and fewer risks.
This study compares two surgical techniques (fistula rerouting and LIFT) for treating a high perianal fistula, a tunnel that forms in the muscle around the anus. It aims to find which method works better for people with this condition.
This trial is testing whether using virtual reality (VR) technology can help doctors better plan surgery for people with Crohn's disease around the bottom. It aims to improve how fistulas and abscesses are managed.
This study uses extra detailed MRI scans before and/or around planned abdominal surgery to help researchers understand changes in the body. It includes people having surgery for certain cancers and some people having surgery for non-cancer (benign) conditions.
