Description
Salman Muhammad Soomar and colleagues chart five years of rectal and anal surgery at a Dubai referral center in 2026 work. Records covered 967 patients treated from July 2020 to June 2025 at one tertiary hospital. Hemorrhoid operations led the list at 42 percent, followed by fistula and abscess surgery.
Most cases were elective and classed as minor, while about 16 percent counted as major operations. Yearly rates for hemorrhoid and fistula surgery climbed across the period, the team reports. Men proved significantly more likely than women to undergo surgery in adjusted models, which the authors tie to referral and presentation patterns.
