Procedure-Specific Approach To Minimize Fistulaization of The Perianal Abscess Cavity After Surgical Drainage

Egypt154 participantsStarted 2024-07-10

Plain-language summary

Perianal abscess is a common surgical condition primarily caused by infection of rectal and anal glandular crypts due to non-specific obstruction. Around 10% of cases result from various factors like Crohn's disease, trauma, HIV, STDs, radiation therapy, or foreign bodies. Symptoms include perianal pain, back pain, fever, and more. The main treatment is incision and drainage, but packing during drainage can reduce fistula incidence, though it is associated with pain and cost. Research comparing outcomes with and without packing is limited.
