NCT ID NCT07510204
First seen Apr 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study will check how well MRI can find and map perianal fistulas before surgery. Thirty patients with suspected fistulas will get an MRI, and the results will be compared to what surgeons find during the operation. The goal is to see if MRI can help doctors plan better surgeries and avoid missing any hidden infection tunnels.
