NCT ID NCT03865823
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study follows 600 adults who had surgery for anal fistula, a painful infected tunnel near the anus. Researchers want to see how many are fully healed after 2 years and whether the surgery causes any loss of bowel control. The goal is to learn which surgical methods work best for different types of fistulas.
