Comparing imaging methods for diagnosing perianal fistulas
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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 tests a new, less invasive procedure called regenerative endoscopy to repair complex fistulas in people with Crohn's disease. It's for those who haven't gotten better with standard treatments like biologics or surgery.
This trial uses MRI scans to look at perianal fistulas before surgery. The goal is to help doctors better understand the fistula and plan the best treatment.
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 trial compares three surgical methods to treat a type of anal fistula (an infected tunnel between the bowel and skin near the anus). The goal is to find which technique works best and has the fastest recovery.
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 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.
