Brief summary
This prospective randomized controlled study aims to include patients who have undergone anal fistula surgery, to observe the impact of early postoperative pelvic floor muscle training combined with dietary intervention on postoperative pain, bleeding, anal distension and defecation function, with the goal of clarifying the value of early rehabilitation intervention in the recovery after anal fistula surgery, and providing a reference for optimizing postoperative management plans in clinical practice.
Detailed description
This study is a single-center prospective randomized controlled clinical trial, which plans to include 124 patients aged 18 to 75 years who are scheduled to undergo anal fistula surgery. They will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the observation group and the control group. The control group will receive the conventional postoperative management plan, including dressing changes, anti-infection treatment, pain relief, and basic dietary guidance. The observation group, on the other hand, will, in addition to the above, undergo standardized pelvic floor muscle training and postoperative dietary control intervention from the day of surgery to the fifth postoperative day. The pain score, bleeding score, and anal distension and fullness score of the patients in both groups will be continuously collected on the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth postoperative days. At the same time, the related indicators of defecation will be observed and recorded. The aim is to systematically evaluate the clinical effect of early postoperative pelvic floor muscle training combined with dietary management on pain relief, bleeding control, improvement of anal distension and fullness, and recovery of defecation function in patients after anal fistula surgery, providing high-quality evidence-based basis for formulating more optimized and targeted early rehabilitation management plans after anal fistula surgery.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Record pain score | Day 1，2，3，4，5 | Assessment timepoints: At postoperative days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.Pain: 0 points, no pain; 1 point, mild pain, tolerable; 2 points, obvious pain, requiring painkillers; 3 points, severe pain, requiring injection of painkillers.The higher the score, the more severe the anxiety. |
| Record the bleeding score. | Day 1，2，3，4，5 | Assessment timepoints: At postoperative days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.Bleeding: 0 points, no bleeding; 1 point, a little blood in the stool; 2 points, more blood dripping from the stool, which can be relieved by hemostasis; 3 points, heavy bleeding, requiring suture and ligation for hemostasis.The higher the score, the more severe the anxiety. |
| Record the score of anal distension and fullness. | Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | Assessment timepoints: At postoperative days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.Anal distension: 0 points, none; 1 point, slight distension; 2 points, obvious distension, affecting movement; 3 points, severe distension, unbearable. The higher the score, the more severe the anxiety. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Compare the defecation situation of the patients. | Within 30 days postoperatively | Patients with anal fistula should start doing pelvic floor exercises and controlling their diet from the day of surgery until the fifth day. Observe the defecation situation. |
| Length of hospital stay | Daily from Day 1 (max 60 days post-op) | Record the length of the patient's hospital stay and make a comparison |
