What this trial studies

This study investigates a novel approach to draining perianal abscesses using 3D ultrasonography instead of traditional surgical methods. The goal is to provide a more controlled drainage procedure that minimizes complications such as recurrences and the formation of chronic fistulas. Patients over 18 with a diagnosed perianal abscess will be informed about the study and, if eligible, will provide consent to participate. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided drainage in comparison to conventional techniques.
