ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of a special care program called Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) on patients who undergo surgery for certain benign conditions around the anus, such as anal fistulas, chronic anal fissures, and hemorrhoids. The main goal is to see if this program can help reduce a common problem called postoperative urine retention (POUR), where patients have difficulty urinating after surgery.

To participate in this study, individuals need to be between 18 and 65 years old and must have one of the mentioned benign anorectal conditions. Unfortunately, those under 18 or over 65, pregnant women, and individuals with specific urinary issues or previous surgeries will not be eligible. If you decide to join the trial, you can expect to receive care designed to help you recover more smoothly after your surgery. The study is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could contribute valuable information to improve recovery processes for future patients.
