About this trial
This prospective cohort study investigates the influence of provider experience and drainage location on fistula formation within 6 months following perianal abscess drainage. Additionally, the study explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI)-based interpretation of magnetic resonance (MR) images in early identification of fistula development.
