Summary

This study looks at whether using the 'teach-back' method (asking patients to repeat instructions in their own words) for discharge education can lower hospital readmissions and improve satisfaction after same-day anal fistula surgery. About 76 adults having this surgery will be split into two groups: one gets standard discharge instructions, the other gets teach-back education. Researchers will track readmissions and measure satisfaction with a questionnaire.
