About this trial

The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of MRI in detecting and assessment the primary fistulous tract, internal openings, secondary extensions, and associated abscesses. (and compare these findings with the surgical findings in patients who underwent surgery).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients clinically diagnosed or suspected to have perianal fistula.

Both male and female patients of any age group

Patients referred for preoperative MRI assessment prior to surgical management.

Disqualifiers

Patients with contraindications to MRI, such as pacemakers, metallic implants, or severe claustrophobia.

Patients refusing to participate in the study.

Trial population

Patients clinically suspected or diagnosed with perianal fistula who are referred to the radiology department for preoperative MRI evaluation. The study will include both male and female patients of different age groups presenting to the surgical or colorectal clinics and scheduled for surgical management. MRI findings will be compared with intraoperative findings to assess diagnostic accuracy.

Trial design

Design model

Case-only

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

Diagnostic imaging (MRI)
Other intervention
MRI is performed as apart of peri-operative assessment of perianal fistula, This is not therapeutic intervention.

Treatment groups

30 Participants

are divided into 1 treatment group

Group A: Patients with perianal fistula1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Diagnostic accuracy of MRI in assessment of perianal fistula

Evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting and classifying perianal fistulas and associated complications. MRI findings will be compared with surgical findings as the reference standard to determine sensitivity, specificity, and overall diagnostic performance.

Time frame

Preoperative MRI assessment performed within 2 weeks before surgery.
