Antibiotics after abscess drainage to prevent fistula
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- This is the first time you have had an abscess near your anus
- You need a procedure to drain the abscess
- You can speak English or Spanish
- You do not have Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or a weakened 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 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.
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 trial tests whether a special tissue therapy can help heal complex anal fistulas that involve a large part of the sphincter muscle. It is for adults who need surgery for this condition and do not have certain other health issues.
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 trial tests a new procedure called Fistura to treat complex anal fistulas (abnormal tunnels between the anal canal and skin). It uses radiofrequency energy to close the fistula while preserving muscle. The study is for people whose fistula has already been drained with a temporary seton stitch.
