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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18

First-time perianal abscess

Surgical drainage performed

Disqualifiers

Existing anal fistula history

Crohn's disease

Immunosuppressive treatment

Incomplete 6-month follow-up

Trial population

Adult patients (≥18 years old) undergoing surgical drainage for their first perianal abscess at a university or state hospital. Participants must not have a history of anal fistula, Crohn's disease, or be under immunosuppressive therapy. Follow-up duration is 6 months after drainage.
