Article Synopsis
- The study investigated whether antibiotics influence the development of anal fistulas after surgery for perianal abscesses, hypothesizing that they do not have an effect.
- Conducted as a single-blinded randomized trial, patients were divided into two groups: one received antibiotics post-surgery and the other did not, with outcomes measured over one year.
- Results showed no significant difference in the formation of anal fistulas (16.3% vs 10.2%) or recurrent abscesses (9.2%) between the two groups, concluding that antibiotics do not impact these complications.

It may be asymptomatic, but ∼50% of patients with PEH have symptoms that may mimic gastrointestinal, respiratory, and cardiac pathology. Surgery is recommended in all acute cases of PEH, but indications for surgical intervention in asymptomatic or nonacutely symptomatic patient remain unclear.

The underlying mechanism probably involves sensory nerve damage and abnormal healing that might be influenced by the materials chosen for mesh fixation. The main objective of this study was to compare glue and absorbable tackers on the rate of chronic pain after surgery in patients undergoing totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (TEP).

Methods: We identified females hospitalized between 2011 and 2020 following an assault, secondary to blunt, stabbing, or shooting mechanisms of injury, in the Israeli Program for Registration of Trauma Patients (National Trauma Registry). To avoid bias due to temporary hospitalizations for non-medical reasons, we included patients with injuries graded as Abbreviated Injury Scale ≥ 2.
